Seriously,I Think We Have Been Hearing This For Long Now... We Re Tired Of Hearing This.. Resolve It Once And For All.Soon,Soon,Soon........ When Will It Come To And End??

Forester45: . U have been misinformed. The earliar u know the truth, d better for u. The strike is not all abt allowances. If u want to observe lectures in a comfortable lecture halls, good laboratories, 6 persons in a room(hostel accomodation), stop paying for project topic approval, have steady light, good road in campuses, carry out ur research in ur dept with state-of-an-art equipments, SUPPORT ASUU STRUGGLE. Due to strike, FG has released 100 billion. Daz an achievement. Be wise. Bye bye.

I Hope U Re Ready To Wait For The Next FOUR To FIVE Years That Is If U Re Still A Student Ooooo..

Let's See What Will Bring... But I Seriously Think ASUU Leadership Re Against This Present Administration,I Guess We Hear From Them<ASUU> Soonest.. Will This Be The End Of The Strike

Hmmmm.... So What Next Would ASUU Leaders Accepts This

To Me... I Think Both ASUU And F.G Have Lost Contact With Reality,playing With The Future Of Nigerian Students,Both Parties Re Not Sincere To Themselves.And The Government Should Note That ASUU Wants To Use This Means To Crumble His Present Regime And Make The People Loose Faith In His Government Come 2015.. The Govt Should Be Handle This Issue As A Matter Of Urgency.. The F.G Is Not Sincere To ASUU,and ASUU In Turn Is Not Sincere To The Students... The End Point Is GREED From Both Parties.. Though Every Human Is Prone To That.<GREED>. The Govt Should Come Out And Sort This Once And For All..Nigeria... This Country Is Gradually Slipping Down From 3rd World To 4th And Even 5th World... To The Leaders I Say... God Is Watching..

I Hope The Government Have Not Lost Contact With Reality... These People Only Want to Frustrate His Government.. If He Wants 2015 To Be Good.... Just Give Them What They Want.. The People And Students Have Lost Trust For This Govt.. At Least Do This One For The Sake Of The Students At Home.... I Know ASUU Has Their Own Part... They Too Re insincere With The Students N Govt... GREED... Though Every Human Is Prone To That Anyway... Am Out.and Finger Crossed... We Hope The Next We Hear Is That The Govt Has Finally Resolve The Conflict With ASUU...BOTH RE INSINCERE TO STUDENTS...

We want implementation, not palliatives – ASUU

ABUJA — Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, yesterday, said that the only thing that would make its striking members go back to the classrooms is the full implementation of the 2009 agreement and not any new offer or palliatives from the Federal Government.

President of ASUU, Dr. Nasir Fagge, who stated this in a telephone interview with Vanguard in Abuja, said it was better to get it right once and for all instead of palliative measures that would not help the system compete with other universities in the world.

Fagge said that government had established the attitude of making promises without fulfilling them and that until the 2009 agreement was implemented, universities will remain closed.

Beyond offers

He said: “The problem is that we have gone beyond the point of making offers now. We have a comprehensive agreement, which was arrived at after three years of negotiation from 2006.

“We had demands from both sides— ASUU and government— and like I said earlier, we reduced those two demands into an agreement within three years of negotiations.

“And at this point, we are talking of the implementation of the agreement. So, at this point, government should not be talking or making offers. If government wasn’t ready to implement the agreement, government shouldn’t have signed the agreement.



‘Gov’s antics’

“What is becoming clear to us is that government is still going back to its usual antics. We signed an agreement.

“Government will just single out what affects the staff directly to implement and then expect them to go back and continue the deception in the system.

“Without good research, teaching and effective delivery of production of knowledge, universities cannot move and this is why the nation has been blaming us for the kind of students we are graduating in our universities.

“So what we are saying is that we are also tired of this. What we want is let the agreement be implemented and then we look at the impact of the implementation.

“Then if there is the need for us to review the situation, we will do it through another round of negotiations. But at this point, we are not talking about making offers. Government made offers on negotiation table between 2006 and 2009.”

Gov Aliyu denies report

Meanwhile, Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State, yesterday, denied a media report that quoted him as saying that the team of negotiators on the side of the Federal Government in the ongoing talks with ASUU was incompetent.

A national daily (not Vanguard) had in a report, yesterday, quoted Aliyu as “doubting the abilities of the negotiators on the side of the Federal Government to achieve any breakthrough in the ongoing dialogue with the lecturers”

Governor Aliyu’s spokesman, Danladi Ndayebo, described the story as untrue, urging the reading public to disregard the report.

He said the report was misleading and did not reflect Governor Aliyu’s comments at the National Universities Commission, NUC, in Abuja, where the governor addressed a continental workshop on the 3rd Regional Centre of Expertise, RCE.

‘What he said’

Ndayebo said: “What Governor Aliyu said is that Federal Government can afford to offer free basic and senior secondary education, while heavily subsidising tertiary education if government officials cut down on spending public funds unnecessarily.

“Governor Aliyu then encouraged constant dialogue between labour unions and government, stressing that strikes were unheard of in other West African countries because there was constant dialogue between the unions and government.”
