Wow.

So ASUU is the only important Union in Federal and State civil service that needs to be paid abi?

shebi they don't think they are important enough to go on strike. They're not important

Nawaoooo... only God knows when this ASUU strike will be called off

But federal government can give INEC 300 billion naira for next year election and avaition sector 165 billion when avaition sector wanted to go on strike because all this sectior will benefit the federal government and politcians .. but for ASUU common 50 billion at least to start with they cannot give because politcians children are scholarship in foreign universities and ASUU strike does not affect their children.. nigerians be wise

APC has to keep at least one of the many promises made to Nigerians during it's campaign. It's tenure is coming to an end already. Name one promise they made and have kept? I'm with Assu this time.

If it goes that way, it can be accountable, but the refusal might be: channel it to untraceable project where it vanishes and everyone forgets, like other projects. Election is almost here; If not, why not?

othermen:
What ASUU struggle for is that you or yours or majority of Nigerians get a worthy education. The FG rather is willing to invest Nigeria resource in ranches. In Katsina alone #6.2 billion has been released by FG to establish cattle ranches. This is what the federal government is passionate about, not the universities or the state of the universities.

Some say ASUU’s demand is purely self interest. That is purely a misleading assertion.

It’s part of ASUU's demand, a better welfare for its members; but you should know that you'd get better value from a lecturer who can meet his daily needs.

Granting the request to ASUU’s welfare demand will not afford its members a luxury life. Rather, the new demand of ASUU that relates to welfare will still put a professor’s salary in Nigeria federal university at about the same amount of a graduate assistant in any top or middle tier university abroad. Glassdoor put the average salary of graduate assistants in the US at $33,230 which is with the current exchange rate at around #690:$1 over #20.7M annually. Nigeria professors at bar earn about #416,000 monthly which is in the bracket of #4.5M annually. ASUU has suggested to be paid in the bracket of the average salary paid to university lecturers across Africa countries and this new amount for a professor is not even up to 55% of what a graduate assistant earns in the US. Know that a general in Nigeria earn about #3.5M monthly while a major general is #1.5M . Yet ASUU is not demanding for up to these amounts for professors at bar.

All is for the students- to have good facilities & dedicated lecturers & reduce the insane brain drain we are suffered.

ASUU could have an agreement with the government, and request that federal universities become autonomous and so the Federal government don’t have to fund the universities; the running cost of the universities, the salaries of its members will be generated from the school fees of the students. Then in that case, most students would have to pay what is equivalent in private universities. ASUU understands that education still needs to be subsidized, because the masses may not be able to afford it and yet the people will take in hook, line and sinker the narrative that the union is a bunch of unpatriotic lots.

Some argue that the government have shown good faith and committed to some of ASUU’s demand. Again, this is a purely technical lie intended to detract and distract and we have a shameful media willing to peddle and drive the propaganda home so that the derision of ASUU can increase, so that they can be perceived as unpatriotic; when in reality, the whole struggle is to help the nation better equipped with its human resource. The media will do well to be critical about what the posture of FG concerning the issue is. FG hard stance has shown it has no integrity, their refusal to implement past agreements or to comply with collective agreement born as a result of renegotiation with different parties they did set up- such as the FG Briggs led renegotiation committee or before then the FG Munzali led renegotiation committee… all of which further shows their lack of integrity and the news media in Nigeria is mostly complicit in this muddling and putting an axe when the issue should have long be done and resolved. Rather, they would find in the character of this government a bunch of people who align with the dangerous ideology that western education is Haram except for their children. The media rather would perpetuate the lies when they truly know that the strike is not conditioned on payment of withheld salaries. Why are their children studying abroad? Of coz, ours are in shambolic state and can continue to be.

The media has access to what ASUU’s demand actually entails. The FG claims to have met 80% of the demands. ASUU says the FG claim is blatant falsehood. The media then should demand for FG resolutions or actions and compare with what ASUU’s demand are to know who is perpetuating or perpetrating falsehood.

I have only one question.
Since u have compared the government universities to the private universities( and feel privatization of the universities would solve the problem), how much are lecturers in private universities being paid?
Is it more than that of lecturers im government universities?

Believe it or not,when privatization finally happens lecturers will smell pepper! All their excesses will be cut off completely. All the largesse of the corrupt system which they enjoy will be removed.

To sack them sef will be as easy as easy. They know this as fact.

If you know the nitty-gritty of this ASUU strike you'll know that the students welfare isn't their main purpose

Can you pls educate me pls. Maybe cos I'm no more in the system

Were do you guys sale your senses to

A government that is spending an imaginary school feeding worth billions of naira,can not meet ASUU demand to upgrade our universities

Have you seen your life

It appeared as if it's not only ASUU that need to be tutored, you did not appear to be learned too. We are not saying that ASUU should not demand for upgrade or whatever they call it, but for them to be suggesting that amount of money to be spent on them alone in a single stack is very insensitive knowing the situation of Nigeria economic and even the whole world.
