Attahiru Jega, former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), says Chris Ngige, minister of labour and employment, has turned the industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) into a personal quarrel.

Speaking on Tuesday during a programme on Arise TV, Jega said Ngige is creating more problems than solutions.

Unfortunately, right now, the minister of labour is not helping matters. He has turned this into a personal quarrel between him and the minister of education on one hand and between himself and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on the other,” Jega said.

While many other people are trying to find a way of addressing this situation so that students can go back to school and ASUU can go back to work, he is busy creating challenges.

He now took the matter to the industrial court, now today, he now registered two unions and he is trying to proscribe ASUU.

If this is allowed by this government, I think this is a recipe for disaster and it may really create more problems than it can solve on this matter of strike in the universities.”

ASUU has been on strike since February 2022 to press home the demand for improved funding for universities, and a review of salaries for lecturers, among other issues.

Several meetings between ASUU and the federal government have ended in deadlock.

Consequently, the federal government went to court to challenge the strike.

On September 21, the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN) ordered ASUU to call off its strike, after which the union filed an appeal seeking a stay of execution of the judgment.

On Tuesday, the federal government formally recognised the Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA), a breakaway faction of ASUU.

The minister of labour and employment presented the certificate of registration to CONUA at an event held in Abuja.

The move is believed to be an attempt to reduce the influence of ASUU.

Jega was a former Vice-President and later National President of ASUU (1988-1994).

My own anger with this whole situation is that some foolish students who have been in their homes for the past five months wants to vote the clown that sold them this bad governance again.

For those cheering Ngige, they should continue. The interesting thing is that there isn't much CONUASS can achieve.

Ife CONUASS taught however, students could not write exams because ASUU is on strike. So what was the relevance?

We all should think and vote wisely in the forth coming elections.

When I see people supporting the FG against ASUU, I just shake my head, if only they know the future disaster that ASUU is fighting against, it might look selfish on their side now, but you will thank them for standing their grounds in future.

You think police extortion in Nigeria just started like that - It first started with FG's neglect on police

Fear short people

Don't blame Ngige, blame his height

Because of their height, it is very easy for grudges and anger to go over them thrice more than the tall or average height person.

As a former SUG official, I and my colleagues often met our University authority half way in our demands. At no time had the university authority met every of our requests or grievances. I am sure the story is the same in other universities across Nigeria. In fact stubborn SUGs were proscribed. Incidentally, ASUU member constitute a good percentage of this UNIVERSITY AUTHORITY. So, why is it difficult to make concessions?

The tail does not wag the dog. It is the other way round. Any organization that can hold Federal Government to ransom by refusing to make concessions has grown than expected.

See me see wahala
Jega is an integral part of those that brought this calamity on Nigeria.
He rigged the election for PMB and probably thought he would be compensated for rigging his Muslim and Northern brother into office.

If he did because of students getting back to class, it worth it.

We can't keep folding arms and allow ASUU playing Politics with the strike and on the other hand, the life of Students.

ASUU can't be asking for everything without being ready to make sacrifice.

I hope CONUA get back to class on time.

Ngige, a highly respected individual, once loved by Ndi Anambra for standing with the people against godfatherism and the attempt by the Uba family to Tinubulize Anambra state, has murdered all the integrity he has just for APC

The worst is that the Education minister, Mr. Adamu Adamu who is supposed to be at the forefront of these negotiations is busy eating tuwo shinkafa at the Minister's quarters while they sent Sen. Chris Ngige to make a jest of his career

He is the worst education Minister has seen

Apart from Buhari that's obviously a colossal failure, the so called ASUU and their counter parts are also a big fat disgrace to students and Nigerians in general..

I think we should have a system whereby, everyone's children in government, should attend schools within the country. It would go a long way in solving a lot of shenanigans displayed by these old nincompoops...
