ASUU Strike: Mr President, Keep Your 4-Month "Mercy-Salary" by edogu(m): 2:08pm On Oct 21, 2023 |
*MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU. BUT PLEASE, KEEP YOUR 4-MONTH "MERCY-SALARY"* By Samuel Atabo Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University, Makurdi. 1. After being subjected to untold hardship and forced to complete the 8-month backlog of work, the President has magnanimously approved a dehumanizing 4-month "Mercy-Salary" 2. As if that was not enough, it is being served with a cold-chilly caveat of never protesting any ill-treatment meted out to the University community as a pre-condition to be paid. Really? 3. In their thousands, many have died leaving behind loads of bills for widows and orphans and the "mercy" shown by the President to these victims of wicked politicians is the release of half of the full salary that has been worked for? 4. The FGN currently owes members of the academia a backlog of over 9 years of EARNED ACADEMIC ALLOWANCE. There is no mention of that anywhere. So any attempt to request or protest non-payment is to be quenched by "mercy-payment" of 4 out of 8 months duly earned salary? 5. The academics are the only set of FG workers that do not access annual leave, which is enjoyed (or monetized) by all workers in Nigeria. They work for 12 months a year. Furthermore, massive cases of un-remitted pension and NHS deductions are still ongoing as of today. So by agreeing to the President's mercy payment, you lose the right to protest these broad-day violations? What a shame! 6. Between 2009 and 2023, the salaries of nearly all FG employees have been reviewed upwards by 70% to 260%, except for the academics in the Federal Universities. Even the most recent 40% pay rise that was implemented within the last days of Buhari's administration did not include the University community. Amid these horrible injustices, this is the "Mercy" we get from the President? 7. After the failed negotiations with the Buhari-led FG, 25% and 35% salary award (for junior academics and Profs respectively) was included in the 2023 budget. Two months to the end of 2023, the present FG has re-introduced and presented the same Buhari's salary award as a favor to Lecturers. Even at that, they have refused to pay. That doesn't seem like enough provocation, ..then they're presenting ASUU with a slave option of WE PAY YOU 50% OF THE SALARY YOU HAVE WORKED FOR, AND THEN YOU DON'T EVER GET TO PROTEST WHATEVER WE DO TO YOU! What an offer! 8. In his magnanimity, the same President who deemed it fit to pay ASUU 50% of duly earned salary has approved 100% payment of salaries to Doctors for the period they were on strike! That is how politicians rate the engine room of the citadel of learning in Nigeria. 9. Mr. President, thank you, but please, keep your 4-month "mercy payment". If you can't afford the 8-month salaries we have worked for, then keep all of it. Pay us our Earned Academic Allowance (EAA). On all grounds, we have at least earned that pay. 10. It is true that we have been pauperized, but we are no slaves, we are not beggars. Our dignity and self-respect are all we've got left, after years of battering by politicians. Please, don't take that away from us with this demeaning, slave "mercy salary" approval. Thank you, Mr. President. 4 Likes |

ASUU as a body generates less than it demands. However you wail, you ain't logical enough to strike when you bring less financially and academically to the table. Except you want us students to pay more which ain't practical enough when you consider the fact that you let us do 90% of the study and also forcefully sell materials to us. Funny enough, most private school that pays high school fees still pay way less than the FG. If your service were exceptional, you won't be wailing here. 1 Like 2 Shares |

ASUU vs FG. Bad governance will get to all nooks and cranny. ASSU has a right to make demands, those who benefitted from a functional institution as students are now destroying it and they even have supporters. Both those for and against should brace up, the gloves are off. |

iblawi:The issue is not the four months salary which federal government has agreed to pay. The issue is the condition that comes with it. According to federal government, ASUU must sign a memorandum of understanding that they will never embark on strike again. If they choose to, they won't be entitled to such waiver. |

After all the ASUU strike, nothing reasonable achieved, students are spending 6 to 7years on a 4years course because of the so called strike, university school fees is increased by more than 100%, some top university staffs been bribed to rig the wrong set of people into political positions...and they now shamelessly fight for money they didn't work for... Buhari's NO WORK, NO PAY must stand o... If they are paid for the strike period, what about the students that are been delayed and will still now pay crazy amount as school fees. WHO WILL FIGHT FOR THE STUDENTS |

The President has directed the grant of the waiver with a mandatory requirement that the Federal Ministry of Education and the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment must secure a Document of Understanding (DoU) establishing that this exceptional waiver granted by the President will be the last one to be granted to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and all other Education Sector Unions. |
Re: ASUU Strike: Mr President, Keep Your 4-Month "Mercy-Salary" by edogu(m): 3:38pm On Oct 22, 2023 |
edogu: The above condition attached to the waiver is where the problem lies. ASUU will not agree to this type of arrangement. |
