The strike continues while they receive their pay.
Those also affiliated to private universities will be cashing out more.
And when INEC decides for collation officers, they start lobbying for posts. They end up declaring some corrupt politicians as winners after taking hundreds of millions as bribe. The next incompetent government comes in...
The cycle continues The students (in Public Universities) suffer
irunoko: shen'gboro ni gboro enu? See talk for mouth.FG HAS Consistently reneged on its agreement and one shameless bold face thief is coming out to contest in a World capital poverty.no be say he get buisness or one company wey he dey run o.he just wake up one morning say he wan contest in the middle of ASUU strike.how insensitive and narcissistic can someone be and you're justifying it.
Even if you don't have kids that are at the University level now,won't you have kids? Why won't an institution that has continuously wasted students time and life not ask where he got the money from? It's this what is your buisness mentality that has given thieves the liver to steal nigeria blind and still not send that has gotten nigeria to where it is.even sychophants like you who Sabi luck their master shoes before he fit chop will also bear the brunt
I read he has 2 of his children in Public University. I also learnt from previous posts that minister of state for education jurisdiction are limited to primary and secondary education. Some intellectual discussions revealed that ASUU strike is more of a Labour matter. In that case, I would support ASUU if they question Ngige on how he got the money for the APC declaration form, and not Nwajiuba. In Nigeria, everybody is allowed to question contenders source of income for the outrageous APC form, but ASUU should not focus on him. Moreover, it is this sane ASUU members that are used to rig elections (when they serve as collating officers etc.) They also usher in injustice and corruption in Nigeria.
irunoko: so why is he the minister of education? Even if you were born with sychophancy Genes and ass licking,try dey use brain small small.no let the thing wey you go chop block your sense
You that have brain... clap for yourself
ASUU can ask him on matters relating to education, but asking him how he got the money for the form should not be ASUU agenda. If it is necessary, the financial institutions should ask, not ASUU. ASUU should get their priorities right.
It is not their business... If ASUU can tell Nigerians how much they make with each strike. How much salary do they receive for every strike they go? ASUU is frustrating the Nigerian students, while they cash out (paid salary) doing that
Owootori: Is that his football age? Anyways, happy birthday to one of the talentless comedians.
That's his age... When he's 35, he'll be eligible to contest for political posts. He's preparing himself for the future. Better prepare yourself for the future and stop checking football age
Also remember it's not been long he concluded 'NYSC'

adenigga: The Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, has said it doesn’t make sense for members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities to continue to earn salaries while on strike.
The PUNCH reports that ASUU began one month warning strike on February 14, 2022 and since then has not suspended its industrial action.
Speaking to The PUNCH in a telephone interview on Sunday, Nwajiuba said, “The lecturers have continued to earn salaries while on strike; it doesn’t make sense to earn salaries when you have refused to work.
“If you refuse to even pay them, by the time they call off the strike, they will still come back to fight for the payment of the period they refused to work.
“You can air your grievances, come to the negotiation table without refusing to work. The issue of the strike has become a thing of concern. I have four children; two have graduated while the other two are still in public universities. I feel for them, I feel for other students who are at home. I feel the same way other parents feel, but can I bring money from my house and give it to ASUU?
“The Ministry of Education isn’t the employer of the lecturers, we are a supervisory body, and there is no way we can fire or hire someone. Universities have governing councils that supervise the activities that go on, our job as in the ministry is to supervise, we can’t meddle in.
“On the issue of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, I am also paid via the IPPIS, it is owned by the government, there is no way you can tell the government to throw away its platform and pay you with another platform.”
Meanwhile, the President of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, Mohammed Ibrahim, has accused the Federal Government of focusing on frivolous things and neglecting the education sector and the youths.
Speaking during the 2022 May Day celebration in Abuja on Sunday, Ibrahim said the universities were forced to shut down due to government insincerity, adding that the standard of education had continued to go down.
He stated, “Our universities have been forced to shut down due to the insincerity of the government to keep to its promises. The standard of education continues to go down due to the insensitivity of the government and the inability to provide a good teaching, learning and work environment through lack of basic facilities that will make them compete favourably with their peers in other parts of the world.
“The morale of university workers is dampened by the poor pay package and the government appears to be paying lip service to education. It is very clear that government pays more attention to frivolous things and has neglected youths that are said to be the leaders of tomorrow.’’
The SSANU President lamented the condition of Nigerian workers whom he said were going through perilous times in form of insecurity, economic hardship and other challenges.
He noted, “This year’s Workers Day comes when Nigerian workers are passing through perilous and dangerous times. Nigerian workers and indeed members of our great union are confronted with diverse challenges like rising spate of armed banditry, kidnappings, insurgency, economic hardship and worst of all, the inability of the government to keep to agreements it entered into with all the university-based unions in 2009.
“Our members have been denied payment of new Minimum Wage Consequential Adjustment arrears and backlog of earned allowances in addition to other violations of our rights and privileges. Our universities have been forced to shut down due to the insincerity of the government to keep to its promises.”
He admonished the government to resolve the ongoing strike by university workers and also tackle the challenges facing the country.
“Toying with the future of our children will spell doom for our dear country. I call on the government to look into the demands of all the university-based unions and take urgent steps to address them so that our children will go back to school,’’ the union urged.

Hunter102: Greetings all, I'm confused on what to choose between a Masters scholarship in Germany with €850 monthly stipend or an Engineering job in Nigeria worth 230k monthly as jobs are hard to find here. Sincere advice is needed whether to leave the job and go for MSc Abroad.
How did you get the DAAD scholarship? I thought Nigeria was excluded from the lost
