STRIKE LATEST: ASUU undecided at NEC meeting; to meet President Jonathan again
REPORT CULLED FROM VANGUARD NEWSPAPER
The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, National Executive Council, weekend, met in Kano. The secret meeting,Vanguard gathered lasted from Friday night to Saturday morning.
However, at the end of the meeting, lecturers were not forthcoming with the outcome, which sources say was borne out of the promise made to President Goodluck Jonathan by the union to inform him of its decision before going public.
It was learnt that the NEC meeting which attracted ‘fair representation’ from over 50 universities was held at Mambayya House. Vanguard gathered lecturers were divided on the issue of suspension of the over 5months strike.
The Universities lecturers were conveyed to the venue of the secret meeting in two Coaster buses, secured by the union’s Kano chapter, in order to avoid the attention of the press and public.
A competent source close to ASUU told Vanguard in Kano that “we still have 40 – 60 percent situations here after the meeting; the resolution from the north favours the call off while their peers from the South strongly support the continuation of the strike”.
According to the source, “however , we were able to take a middle course that would be pleasant to Nigerians, but that will not be discussed now at the public domain until we meet Mr. President in line with our last discussion”.
Effort to reach Dr Nasiru Fagge, the national President of ASUU was abortive as he failed to pick up calls.

ASUU STRIKE UPDATE: Union keeps mum on outcome of NEC meeting
The National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) just ended in Kano with the leadership of the union keeping the outcome to themselves. The meeting, which was principally convened to ratify the resolutions of the local branches of the union on the offer of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
As at the time of this publication, ASUU is still keeping all Nigerians in suspense on the outcome of the NEC meeting.
Let's just wait for the details later

Relieve As ASUU set to suspend STRIKE
•As crucial NEC meeting holds to take decision


Academic activities may pick up next week in the nation’s public universities as the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) would this weekend hold its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting to take a position on the on-going five- month-old strike.
Saturday Sun source revealed that national officers and branch chairmen of ASUU have arrived at the venue of the crucial meeting to deliberate on the industrial action.
The industrial action, which enters 144 days today, took off on July 1, 2013 and has crippled academic activities in federal and state universities.
Ahead of the NEC meeting, some members of ASUU in two universities, Enugu State University (ESUT) and University of Agricultural Abeokuta (UNAB) had announced that their institutions would open for academic activities.
Also, the authorities of the University of Lagos despite the on-going strike have started the screening/registration for new students offered admission for the 2013/2014 academic session.
The source told our Correspondent that ASUU is aware of public concern about the situation in the universities and that NEC would do the needful after deliberating on reports from the outcome of the various congress.
According to the source, having mourned and honoured late Professor Festus Iyayi, who died while on his way to Bayero University Kano (BUK) for a NEC meeting by suspending the meeting, ASUU leadership felt it was ripe to hold the crucial meeting.
He refused to give insight to the outcome of the NEC meeting but stressed that the decision would be fair based on the various congress resolutions of the meeting its leaders held with President Goodluck Jonathan.
Expectations were high before the postponed ASUU NEC meeting because of the death of its former national President that the industrial action would be suspended after the Federal Government shifted ground on the demands of the university lecturers.
Recalled that President Jonathan had to intervene after the Vice President, Namadi Sambo and the chairman, Implementation and Monitoring Committee led by the Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam failed to produce positive results. At the crucial November 5 meeting with ASUU leaders in Aso Rock, the government agreed to provide N220billion yearly for the next five years and improve on the amount to be released for the contentious Earned Allowance.

The ASUU Strike

I can still remember vividly in the month of July when the academic staff union of universities embarked on an industrial strike. The strike which came unexpected to students of universities (public Universities to be precise) still leaves a sour taste in the mouth of each student. Most schools were writing their semester examinations while others were busy preparing for exams before the strike incident. Worse of all are those set to graduate and leave their various campuses to proceed to the one year compulsory National service.
Initially within the first month of the industrial action, all fingers could be seen pointed at the Federal Government for a breach or will I say failure to implement an already signed agreement in 2009. Slowly days turned to weeks, weeks to months and months running into a year yet there has been no mention of suspending the strike despite the Federal Government’s ‘effortless’ effort. Yet the finger pointing has not stopped amongst students as some see the stand of ASUU as inconsiderate while others perceive the Federal Government to be magnanimously wicked for their inability to honor an agreement which has spanned five years. With meetings and counter meetings been held still there has been no score on the strike. This has since justified the saying that ‘when two elephants fight, the grasses suffer’.
The strike came also with its negativity as acts of deviances have since been reported such as increase in crime and prostitution also the issue of dependency is also not excluded as most students could not get meaningful part time jobs due to the high level of unemployment in the country.
Now we are hearing of schools voting to cut off from the industrial action by ASUU. How true is this? we don’t know. What are the implications of this action for any such school? We still do not know
Many students have given up hope on continuing academic studies this year as can be seen on their various updates on social Medias. We can only but count losses of both time, human and material resources wasted within this period of strict industrial action and of course do what we really know how to do best in situations like this… pray.

Suspend ASUU Strike in Honour of Iyayi, UNIBEN Board Chair Pleads



REPORT CULLED FROM THISDAY NEWSPAPER
The Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Board of the University of Benin, Senator Bob Effiong, has appealed to the striking members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to call off their almost five-month old strike in honour of Professor Festus Iyayi.
Iyayi, a renowned author, the Head of Business Administration Department at the same University and former National President of ASUU died in an auto crash while on his way to attend a meeting of the ASUU National Executive Committee (NEC) in Kano.
Effiong said Iyayi’s death was particularly painful as the meeting was intended to seek a resolution to the lingering impasse which has caused hardship to students and their parents for long.
Speaking when he paid a condolence visit to Iyayi’s family in Benin-City, yesterday, the Chairman also called on the union to institute an academic foundation in honour of Iyayi for his immense contributions to Nigeria’s education sector.
“…it is expedient at this point for both the federal government and ASUU to come to an understanding in honour of this great patriot,” Effiong said in his condolence message.
The condolence message reads in part: “When we take into cognizance his immense contributions to ASUU in its quest to reposition Nigerian universities in the world and his role as a teacher and scholar, we know that the academia has lost a rare gem that would be difficult to replace.
“However, we want to console you to bear the loss with fortitude resting in the knowledge that Professor Iyayi gave his life in the struggle to ensure a better and brighter future for the Nigerian child in terms of sound education.”

ASUU STRIKE UPDATE: Friday NEC meeting not rumour – Dr. Lawan Abubakar
CULLED FROM EPOCH TIMES
The ASUU strike 2013 continues, but the latest update is a good one. A union official has confirmed that the postponed National Executive Council meeting–which was postponed after the sudden death of Festus Iyayi–is slated to be held on Friday.
At the meeting, it is expected that the union will call off the months long strike.
Dr. Lawan Abubakar, the chairman of the ASUU branch at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi told the Daily Post that the rumor is true: the union will hold the council meeting on Friday.
The union leadership and President Goodluck Jonathan’s team met two weeks ago and there was optimism all around afterward. The leadership took the federal government’s offer to the union branch leaders, who then voted at each school across the country regarding whether to continue the strike or not. The clear majority voted to end the strike.
That set up the NEC meeting, which was originally supposed to be held on November 13. If the union had voted to end the strike, then a meeting was planned with Jonathan the next day to finalize the move.
But on November 12 the sudden death of Iyayi, a former ASUU president, shocked the union, prompting leadership to call a 7-day mourning period, and throwing into question any ending of the strike.
Now the union will meet on Friday, and likely vote to end the strike.

ASUU Strike: A Hope Dashed – Tell Magazine
TELL MAGAZINE
The accident that killed a former president of ASUU dashed the hope of students, lecturers and parents who were expecting an end to the four-month-old strike
By ANAYOCHUKWU AGBO
Hopes were raised, and not a few university students now on forced holidays had packed their bags ready to return to school. But the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, appears not to be in a haste to call off their four-month-old strike. That was not the plan of the union when it called a meeting of its general assembly for Kano to consider the new offer made by the federal government on ASUU’s demand for the development of university in the country. The development was as a result of the death of Festus Iyayi, a professor at the University of Benin, Benin City, Edo State, following an accident involving the convoy of Governor Idris Wada of Kogi State. Iyayi and his colleagues were on their way to the ASUU meeting in Kano.
The Kano meeting had to be shifted till next year as Nasir Fagge, ASSU president, told media men that they were mourning Iyayi who he described as a ‘strong pillar’ of the union. Members of ASUU who were at the hospital last week when Governor Wada visited were so pained by the death of a former president of the union that they were openly hostile to the governor.
Though none of the parties disclosed details of their agreement, it was gathered that the government increased their commitment to tertiary education in the next three years to close to one trillion naira. This means a shortfall of about N530 billion from the N1.5 trillion agreed by both parties in the 2009 agreement but a remarkable improvement on the N130 billion previously offered by the government. The government, pleading lack of funds, had offered N100 billion out of the N500 billion due for the improvement of tertiary education in 2013, and another N30 billion out of earned allowances of N97 billion, leaving a shortfall of N467 billion. They were also supposed to have committed another N500 billion in 2014 and the final N500 billion in 2015.
However, government explained the agreement was not implementable because the money to fund it is not there, giving other competing needs. On the other hand, ASUU argued that it was all a matter of priority as government was spending much more money on what it considered important. The group urged the government to upgrade education to a priority status in its scale of preference. So a stalemate ensued and took the strike to over four months, which has alarmed students, parents and concerned Nigerians.
If the general assembly of ASUU accepts what is seen as a review of the 2009 agreement, government will cough out N220 billion this year, up from the rejected N130 it previously offered, N350 billion in 2014 and N400 billion in 2015. Both parties have not confirmed these figures yet.
It was the longest negotiation between Labour and the federal government in recent times. It lasted over 13 hours with brief breaks for each party to hold consultations. And to underscore the seriousness that the government attaches to the resolution of the trade dispute between it and ASUU, President Goodluck Jonathan led the government delegation that included Vice President Nnamdi Sambo, secretary to the government of the federation, SGF, minister of finance as well as labour minister. This convinced the ASUU delegation that this time the government cannot claim an agreement was made in error as it has consistently argued about the 2009 agreement. The ASUU nine-man delegation was led by its national chairman, Nasir Fagge, and included Dipo Fashuna, the chairman, when the agreement was signed in 2009.
In his opening remarks before the meeting went into a closed-door session, Jonathan joked that a solution must be found before the end of the meeting. As a former ASUU member, he referred to Fagge as “my president” and bantered with the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress, which had threatened to join the strike in solidarity with ASUU, an affiliate.
It has been a pitched battle and all the parties are scorched. But Fagge described the strike as “a necessary sacrifice. We are not just lecturers, we are also parents and students, so the strike is also affecting us negatively,” he told State House correspondents after the meeting.
Before meeting with the President and his team, the delegation had met with David Mark, Senate president, on how to bring the crisis to an end. The hope that the strike may end this week was dashed by that fatal accident. It also incensed the anger of people against the recklessness of people in authority at the expense of the masses. They are sad that a patriot and bright scholar was also killed while on national service.

ASUU STRIKE Reason Why Govt Killed Iyayi — JAF
LEADERSHIP NEWSPAPER

Prof. Fetus Iyayi
The Joint Action Front (JAF) has accused the government of master-minding the killing of former president of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Prof Festus Iyayi who died recently in a motor accident involving the convoy of Kogi State governor.
JAF in a statement signed by its president, Comrade Abiodun Aremu said the death of the veteran unionist was questionable.
They said “JAF wishes to alert Nigerians and the international community that Comrade Festus Iyayi was murdered by operatives of the Nigerian state, contrary to the widely reported claims that he died in the bus accident of November 12, 2013 along Lokoja – Abuja road due to the recklessness of the Kogi State governor’s convoy.
“JAF has every reason to believe that the murder of Comrade Iyayi was connected with the on-going Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike to compel the federal government to, not only honour the Collective Agreements it reached with it in 2009, but also to make government responsible to adequately fund public education against the dictates of its puppeteers – the IMF and World Bank.
“ We strongly believe that the assassination of Comrade Iyayi was carried out by expert shooters in the cover of the Nigerian Intelligence, reminiscence of the state murder of Dele Giwa in 1986 and Kudirat Abiola in 1996”, the statement said.
JAF said official explanation by the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) and the Sole Administrator of the Specialist Hospital, Lokoja, Dr Paul Amodu that Comrade Iyayi’s death was as a result of the accident, did not explain the piercing of his heart by a strange object.
JAF added that Iyayi’s death is a wakeup call to all Nigerians to struggle for a better society where people’s lives are respected and preserved.

Hmmm

After ASUU........


There is a paradox governments have built around education — they are spending billions of Naira on education, yet the financial issues around education are not being resolved. The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, strike is only one of many matters that are dogging education.
Government’s supposed interests in negotiating with ASUU, the speed being applied, and the uttermost neglect of other aspects of education confirm the diminishing importance that governments attach to education.
ASUU’s case is exceptional, in that governments appeared concerned. When the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, went on strike, it took almost three months before governments started talking to the union. The issue remains partially resolved.
With the ASUU strike, the failure of governments and their programmes are obvious. Governments sign agreements they do not intend to keep. ASUU is on strike over a 2009 agreement. Governments want to re-negotiate implementation of a four-year-old agreement.
They also know that the negotiations for a new agreement are due. We have governments that plan for immediate needs, if they ever do. They are exhausting themselves over ASUU strike as if meeting ASUU’s demands would resolve the challenges that our education faces, among them irrelevant curricula.
How do governments spend billions of Naira they budget annually for education? Bureaucracy consumes the bulk of the money. Duplication of agencies that manage education is the biggest cost centre in our national education management. Governments are running up new costs.
New higher institutions are being built with emphases on physical structures. Laboratories, libraries and research centres that they require to be centres for meaningful academic engagements are available in inadequate numbers.
It is absurd that governments — the owners of the universities — would need an ASUU strike to determine the status of the facilities in universities.
What plans do governments have for education? How would they tackle sustainable funding so that we are not soon back to another wave of strikes in a matter of months? Would governments ever consider education important enough that it should run without disruptions from strike?
There would be no easy solutions. Many of the federal agencies on education just drain resources that should have been invested in improving learning facilities. States imitate the federal waste, making education one of governments’ biggest cost centres, without commensurate value for the expenditures.
Governments can save costs by eliminating duplication in the functions of education agencies. There should be clearer lines about the roles of governments at different levels of education. The Federal Government should not be dabbling into primary school education.
Finally, the future of education is too important to be left to haphazard funding. Governments should provide resources for education beyond ASUU’s demands.

STRIKE Latest: ASUU’s NEC meeting holds tomorrow, Friday – Official
SOURCE: DAILY POST

ASUU President – Nasir Fage
The Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, Dr Lawan Abubakar has debunked media reports that the union had postponed its National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting slated for tomorrow.
He restated that the leadership of the Union postponed the scheduled NEC meeting at Bayero University, Kano, following the demise of Festus Iyayi, a former President, who died last Tuesday in a motor accident along the Abuja-Lokoja highway.
A car in the convoy of Kogi State Governor, Idris Wada, had hit the vehicle conveying the deceased and some ASUU members, leading to Iyayi’s death. Others injured are presently receiving treatment.
Abubakar who spoke in Bauchi further denied that the striking lecturers had accepted the over N1trillion offered by the Federal Government.
“There is no iota of truth in that. What the union is agitating for is the full implementation of the 2009 agreement and nothing less,” he said.
The Union has been on strike since July 1 over the 2009 agreement it reached with the Federal Government.
Its leadership has said it will deliberate on the current Federal Government’s offer and take a position after Friday’s NEC meeting.

Strike: UNILAG Denies Pulling Out of ASUU, Suspends 2nd Semester Exams
EXCERPTED FROM DAILY TIMES NIGERIA
RELATED POST: ASUU Strike Updates: UNILAG, UI, Others Voted In Congresses To Call Off Strike
The University of Lagos has denied that it has pulled out on the ongoing strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The strike begun on July 1st, due to the inability of the Federal Government to execute an agreement it reached with ASUU in 2009.
According to earlier reports, UNILAG allegedly fixed a new date for its postponed 2nd semester examination regardless of the ongoing strike.
Our correspondent gathered that the strike started a few days to UNILAG’s second semester examinations.
The report, our correspondent learnt, was convincing because UNILAG was part the universities that voted in favour of the suspension of the five-month-old strike.
The speculation has it that UNILAG would commence its outstanding examination for all students before the Christmas break.
“The proposed exam as reported will be starting on the 9th of December and end on the 24th of December. We want to advise all students of the UNILAG to check it out to confirm,” an unconfirmed report had earlier said.
Apart from the speculation on UNILAG, some universities have reportedly started pulling out of ASUU strike.
Specifically, Adamawa University has pulled-out. Adamawa branch of ASUU, was said to have confronted ASUU national body without due process.
However, a top management officer in UNILAG said the university does not have any plan to pull out of ASUU.
The source said: “We are not pulling out. That is not possible. UNILAG is one of the strongest branches of ASUU and we will not disappoint. We have plans on ground to write the second semester exam, but that is after the strike might have been called off.”
When our correspondent visited the university, there was no sign that examinations will commence soon.
It was observed that dust and cob-webs have taken over most of the classes.

SSS Parades 5 Boko Haram Suspects Including A University Lecturer
By SaharaReporters, New York
The State Security Service (SSS) today in Abuja paraded five suspected Boko Haram members alleged to have planned deadly attacks on Igala, Kogi State.
Among the suspects were Dr. Mohammad Nazeef Yunus, an Assistant Lecturer in Arabic and Islamic Studies at Kogi State University. He was said to be the Spiritual Leader and Coordinator for Boko Haram in the State, and the leader of the gang.
Nazeef, who was born in Idah, Kogi State, attended the Arabic Central Primary School in that town, and El-Kanemi College, Maiduguri. He also studied at the Islamic School, University of Medina, in Saudi Arabia and served in the National Youth Service Corp in 1995 at Al-Iman Secondary School, Dogon Dutse, in Jos.
Nazeef earned a Masters Degree in Arabic from the University of Jos. Just last year, he earned a Ph.D in Islamic Studies from Kogi State University.
Also arrested by the SSS were Umar Musa (Instructor), Mustapha Yusuf, Ismaila Yunusa, Mohammed Nasir, and Ibrahim Isa.

He said he was deployed to the education unit of the camp as Munzi (instructor) and placed on a monthly salary of N50,000. He further stated that he and Yusuf later returned from Sambisa and re-united with Nazeef in Kogi State where they plotted to carry out violent attacks in Igala land. He maintained that Nazeef appointed him the Head of Operations ansoldier) confessed that that Nazeef was their teacher who teaches them Jihad and Islamic Sharia.
Ogar told newsmen that the suspects will soon be charged to court.

ASUU Strike: Uncertainty Pervades Crucial NEC Meeting
THISDAY NEWSPAPER

As students of the nation’s public universities continue to hold their breathe over whether the striking Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) would accept the latest offer of the federal government and end their four-month strike, uncertainty continues to prevail as regards to when the crucial meeting of the National Executive Council (NEC) would hold.
THISDAY gathered that the death of the former ASUU President, Prof. Festus Iyayi, is the likeliest reason for the continued delay in holding the meeting.
The much-anticipated NEC meeting would be the decider over the fate of students, who have been idling at home for almost five months.
There were speculations that the meeting would hold last Saturday, after it was cancelled due to the auto crash which claimed the life of the unionist and author.
ASUU’s representatives said there had been no intention to hold the meeting on Saturday.
But some newspapers had reported that the meeting may hold next Friday, even though this was neither confirmed nor debunked by the union.
There were also speculations currently that the union may decide to postpone the crucial meeting till next year.
A labour analyst, however, told THISDAY that the meeting was likely to hold after the burial of Iyayi, which had been tentatively slated for the first week of December.
“They may have decided to postpone the meeting as a mark of honour to their departed colleague, who died while on his way to the meeting. We should also give them that chance to mourn him,” he said.
ASUU President, Dr. Nasir Fagge, did not respond to calls made to his mobile phone.

STRIKE: ESUT ASUU, management at loggerhead over planned school resumption
DAILY POST
The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has dissociated itself from the planned resumption of academic activities at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology, ESUT, tomorrow (Monday).
In a statement signed by the Chairman of ASUU, ESUT chapter, Prof. Agu Gab Agu and others, the union said its attention had been drawn to the announcement by ESUT management that students were resuming academic activities on Monday November 18, 2013.
“The academic staff of ESUT dissociates itself from the above announcement”, the union stated.
It added that “while ASUU-ESUT mourns the demise of Professor Festus Iyayi, a former President of ASUU, it awaits the direction of the NEC on the ongoing strike”.
Prof. Agu described the demise of Iyayi as a big loss to ASUU, saying his death was a big loss to the union, the academia and the country in general.
The ASUU-ESUT boss prayed that God should grant the family of the late ASUU President the fortitude to bear the loss.
Meanwhile, a condolence register has been opened for the late Professor Iyayi at the ASUU Secretariat in ESUT Agbani campus

STRIKE Latest: ASUU’s NEC meeting still indefinite, Iyayi to be mourned for 7days – ASUU

ASUU President – Nasir Fage
Contrary to media reports that the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU was to hold it’s National Executives Committee meeting yesterday, the union leader of university of Ibadan, Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye has claimed that there was no plan for such meeting.
Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye claimed that stories which made the rounds on Saturday, that the National Executive Council, NEC, would hold an emergency meeting in Kano, were false.
Ajiboye was speaking in an interview on Diamond FM, University of Ibadan and stated that no meeting was scheduled for yesterday, as they were still in the middle of a seven-day morning, which was declared in honour of the late Professor Festus Iyayi, a former national chairman of the Union.
It would be recalled that Iyayi lost his life in a fatal crash, on his way to Bayero University, Kano, where members of ASUU were to meet and reach a final decision, on whether to continue with the strike or accept the federal government’s offer.
It is hoped that at the expiration of the 7days mourning of Iyayi, the union will reconvene to ratify decision on the lingering strike that has paralysed the academic activities of public universities in the country.

The 4 months old ASUU strike action by the Academic staff Union of Universities, ASUU may be suspended tomorrow, after positive negotiations between leaders of the Union and the President Jonathan Led Federal Government, Last week monday.
