After paying huge fees
ASUU wake up one morning and say they want to go on strike
Students go change am for them

Everybody dey vex for this country
Without Vawulence Man is Nothing

That's what they want to do for years which ASUU has been resisting. That's why they have been holding on to a lot of lecturer's entitlements. And the selfish students and their parents say ASUU is only fighting for itself. Now, they'll really see the effect of celebrating the frustration of the people who have been fighting for them.

Right now, ASUU members are gradually telling their national body to cancel all demands related to cost and quality of education and face only lecturer's welfare.

Does FG pay lecturers salaries from school fees generated?

Congratulations to APC, Buhari and Tinubu.
The More Reason why APC as a Political Party Ought not to be on the 2023 Ballot Papers.

Please,Vote Wisely in Next Year's General Election in Nigeria Certainly Not for APCHEATS.

If this increase in University tuition had happened in Anambra state, some unfortunate Tinubu lap dogs will have been very swift to swoop into the thread to drag Peter Obi as if he's the current Governor of the state or the VC of the school in question.

Now it's Borno state, nobody is calling Kashim Shettima and tagging him all manner of unprintable names.

Finally, all of una go dey alright!

tuzle:
Omo the school fees is just too high. 252k for a federal school. There fees is almost dragging with some private universities own. Just imaging if someone has 2 children in part 1

What's the meaning of "Part 1" abeg

Timoleon:
A governor once declared that education is not for the poor after increasing school fees without increasing minimum wage in his state.

you are right my brother..

God punish PDAPc

You didn't answer the question. Does FG pay lecturers salaries from school fees generated?

If you think that Nigerian university lecturers and professors give a damn about nigerian students, pls think again. Buhari might be clueless, but many of our lecturers and professors are as heartless and nonchalant as he is

You need to understand that government appoint the VC, Chancellors, Governing councils. Everything still go back to government and governance. In some universities, Electricity bill per year is more than 100m, government is not ready to pay, they are not ready to pay contract workers, not ready to pay visiting and sabbatical lecturers, utilities and many more. When PHCN, Phone networks, transportation companies and all other sectors increased their charges, they were not heartless? Mind you their is different between management of university and lecturers. In many universities, lecturers including professors are always at loggerheads with the management who takes decision.

No, it does not.

However, it says it can only pay all entitlements of the lecturers if universities become fully commercialised and revenue generating. How else can universities generate revenue

Dbegining:
This school fees hike is happening in almost every Federal University

The other day it was Unilorin.

I think it's a way to generate revenue but at the cost of the students. As in some people pay the old fees with begging relatives and doing menial works now talk more of the new hiked fees.

Which University I it going to be next?

It's gradually going to be almost all public universities in Nigeria, people don't know the impact of all these ASUU strikes.

Baba emilokan was telling us how he will introduce student's loan and people were hailing him, not knowing it's effectively putting a ceiling on people's ambitions. They can't maintain universities after looting the country dry and poor people have to bear the cost.

Canvass:
Former ABU's VC and bursar were arraigned for embezzlement of over a billion naira this last week. I'm aware of the same in FUOYE. Are these people looking for increased funding by all means so they too can have money to steal like the politicians or because they want better education for Nigerian students? Their moves are becoming suspicious o.

The political class have left them to their fate, they can't maintain universities at the cost of their jumbo life hence, the ordinary Nigerian has to bear the brunt.

SmartPolician:


Unnecessary comment!

University education isn't cheap!

You people want the best but you are not willing to pay for it.

Nigerians will be willing to pay for whatever they are using provided there is an equal and justified distribution of wealth, in a society where the presidency, NASS and govt houses spent over a trillion a year for frivolities, you don't expect people living with a minimum wage of 30,000 to pay for such lifestyles.

It is really sad the country and times we find ourselves in.

And the fact that many overlook or even worship the source of their suffering makes it worse. May God heal this country.

Now you have your answer @cheaphomes1.
I'm really curious to know the connection you are trying to make with...
"Does FG pay lecturers salaries from school fees generated?"

School still dy this state?

So parents should be clapping for ASUU for making their children study a course of 4years for 6-7 years

All of you justifying ASUU strike due to school fees hike are big efulefus
Una dey ment

jcflex:


It is a clear directive from FG (Ministry of Education) to all Federal institution.

Which Minister made such directives?

to hike a fee by 200%, really?

Timoleon:
That’s how mis information spreads. First the article you read falsely misrepresented the figures by claiming it was a billion whereas the body of the article contained actual figures of 998 million. Now you have increased it to over a billion. Note, I am not justifying corruption. But where facts cannot be separated from fiction, it becomes difficult to tell where the leakages are.

I'm glad you get the overall picture. 998 million or a billion naira, the money would have contributed immensely to ABU's financial standing. Excuse my illiteracy or half-baked education but in the simple arithmetic taught to me in my primary school, 998 million would be rounded up to a billion, and over a billion is still in the range of a billion. However, I appreciate you highlighting the facts against the fiction. Forgive my comedy of errors.

which my answer? did the answer come from you? why didnt you answer the question yourself?

when did the FG say that " it can only pay all entitlements of the lecturers if universities become fully commercialised and revenue generating. How else can universities generate revenue"?

Ikemba007:


No, it does not.

if the FG doesnt pay lecturers salaries from school fees generated, how are students and their parents selfish in saying ASUU is only fighting for itself?

Ah! Na wa o!
ASUU is fighting for school fees not to be hiked for the purpose of paying lecturer's benefits because education for citizens should not be commercialised. Parents and students are insulting ASUU for dragging with the government. Now it's up to the government to get the funds and pay, and ASUU members should begin to care less about the source of the money. Students and their parents should continue to drag with the government as they have started. Every man should carry his matter on his head. Period!

If you have not been following issues closely over the years, it is not my wahala.

Just wait small, you will know when FG said that. From now, people like you will know if FG is saying that or not.

you are the one who said the FG doesnt pay lecturers salaries from school fees generated. how then is ASUU "fighting for school fees not to be hiked for the purpose of paying lecturer's benefits" when their salaries dont come from school fees?

if the FG doesnt pay lecturers salaries from school fees generated, how are students and their parents selfish in saying ASUU is only fighting for itself?

A good starting point will be for you to first appreciate the difference between benefits and salaries in the ASUU matters. That's where you keep interchanging and mixing things up.

Salary ≠ Benefits
Salary ≠ Entitlements.

Okay?

Good development if that will stop ASUU strike and help students get jobs after. Every school should has autonomy like in the west,Asia,etc.
With this, competition will reduce,and you get the best results. Why will a federal uni fees be peg at 19-35k and you'll see 70,000 students applying for only one course yet the school will take only 150? That's a scam.
In a develop country, institutions set their fees and it's left for you to choose either to go to university A or university C depending on your budget. Reason why it's hard to see foreigners in our school because our education system is very backward, poorly equip and corrupt.
Just last week I notice one of my lecturer here in university of Alberta Edmonton Canada prof.(name withheld) brought his daughter and the girl just started medicine here too. He's a professor in department of pharmacology. Why did he has to bring her daughter here? Good education system irrespective of the cost. I bet you to Google how much medical student are paying here. Mine was scholarship and when I left, the woman who taught me chemistry told me never take this opportunity for granted while in Canada.
So it's a good development if federal university increases fare. You'll see white people in Nigerian school plenty,and things will changed.
I know others will say what about the poor masses. Well, even in the USA or other African countries were we have Nigerians, school fees there are still high, the poor are able to get in with government scholarship, the institution entrance exams performance etc. JAMB results can be use as criteria to say once you score atleast 240 and above, government pay half of your fees. That's what is happening in other countries. It's called student loans. You don't pay anything,even your library fee is charged from the student account. You only pay for accommodation (those in 70% bursary). But a full tuition like those in 100% covers accommodation too.
With this you'll see progress. But while fees is 19-35k, students are taking that for granted and the government not showing concerns to the school because you're indirectly paying for nothing! You need a steady light in the country, how much are you paying for electric power? People in the UK complain of bills because the government is charging them and providing the service too.
Since I came here I haven't seen any day power went off, only when your prepared meter is zero but there's power in it. Once you recharge it's automatically activated,so it depends if you're willing to pay for and use it or not.
