<<I don't mean to quote you but what you said is not fair to so many ladies and gentlemen who are single parent doing the right thing to bring up their kids the right way...

<<There are so many people that turned out right who were raised by single parent;

<<Ramsey Noah to me is a great guy.. he was raised by a single parent...and he is normal to me ...

<< There's nothing wrong with Omotola jalada..

<< Like it or not, Prince William and Harry are ok. Their mother died when they were kids... They are as normal as humans can be..

<< There are so many people who are stamping their authority in and outside Nigeria and in the world at large who were raised by single parent...

<< Besides,there are lot of people raised by both parents that turned out extremely bad...

Glycosunde:

These reoccurring injuries are from the results of being paired with a slowpoke Jorginho in the midfield for years. Kante has been doing 2-3 players work anytime he is on the field. He also covers for the spoilt brat Pogba in France National team. Why won't he get injured regularly. Imagine him missing the world cup because of these spoilt players that always refuse to do their parts. Get well soon my nigga. He is going to miss almost the full season too

FG is insensitive; ASUU is selfish.

The President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, has said members of the body may find it difficult to get to their respective schools on Monday as they do not have “money for transport”

He disclosed this on Sunday while speaking about matters arising from the suspension of the ASUU strike on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.

Prof Osodeke said unlike those days when lecturers lived in staff quarters very close to campuses, most lecturers now live far away from the school campuses as most schools could not provide accommodation for them.

He said since they have not been paid for eight months, it would be difficult for them to afford the transport fares to their respective schools to teach students.

In schools those days, every lecturer lives on campus and you can trek to your office but these days, many lecturers live 20, 30 kilometres to their offices. How will they pay for their transport to work?

These are the issues we are going to have, that the branches will have to deal with. We expect the government to pay the money [eigth months salary arrers] so that these people will go back to work while we are negotiating on other issues.”

Confirming the suspension of the strike, he said “we suspended the strike hoping that the government will do the needful and by tomorrow, if the universities are open, hopefully, the lecturers will go back to work.

“We are resuming because we are obeying an industrial court judgement because the issues have not been fully resolved, no agreement signed.

“We are also hoping that with the intervention of the Speaker [of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila], as promised by him, we will resolve this problem within a very short time.

“Our lecturers will teach but you can’t expect someone who is owed eight months’ salary, maybe from his bank, he has collected more than N1m as a loan and you have not paid him one kobo and you want him to go to class and teach.

“I pray they go there because of the children and do the best they can do. You don’t expect a hungry man to go there [school] with an open mind.”

Ebubu:
ASUU should look for other means to drag FG example court cases, instead of industrial strike.

Ximenez:
Uh
Is ASUU a cult group that 100% of the lecturers will agree not to teach and just wait for sack letters?

Slynation:
what are you even saying...?? Why is ASUU calling off the strike...

-The UTAS wasn't implemented...
-Negotiation of 2009 whatever wasn't concluded...


ASUU is only calling off the strike because CONUA is now an alternative and they will loose their relevance, They only went on sabbatical for FG to accumulate there salary for them, you should be thanking Ngige for clipping their wings, now before they go on any other strike, they will have to think twice...

Barring a last-minute change, the Academic Staff Union of Universities may call off its indefinite strike on Thursday (today).

The Court of Appeal had last Friday, ordered the union to call off its strike.

The House of Representatives also intervened in the matter, raising the hope that the union may call off the strike soon.

The PUNCH gathered that most of the over 123 branches of the union have completed their congresses on the lingering strike.

Findings by The PUNCH revealed that while some universities voted for the suspension of the strike, others voted for conditional suspension.

One of our correspondents, however, gathered that at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, the branch did not reach a consensus.

A source within the branch said, “No agreement was reached. Members agreed to follow the decision of the union’s National Executive Committee. Remember, we were on strike before the national body declared a strike.”

The situation was different at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, where one of our correspondents gathered that the branch voted in favour of “conditional suspension.”

However, at the congress held at the Federal University of Technology, Akure, which also had ASUU members from the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, both in Ondo State in attendance, members voted for suspension so as not to disobey court orders.

“Members did not want to vote initially but you know ASUU is a union of intellectuals and we cannot be caught breaking the law. That was why we voted for suspension,” a union member present at the congress confided in The PUNCH.

It was also gathered that Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria voted for a conditional suspension of the strike.

At the Usmanu DanFodiyo University, our correspondents also gathered that the branch voted for suspension based on the Appeal Court order.

Salaries increment

Meanwhile, The PUNCH has learnt that ASUU is awaiting the decision of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) on the salary increase for university lecturers.

Our correspondents, who spoke to various sources within the ASUU-NEC, gathered that no agreement has been made over the percentage increase.

One of the sources said, “No agreement has been made yet on the issue of salary increment. During the meeting with the Speaker, the ASUU President was asked about the salary rate of professors, and he said it was N416,000. The Speaker expressed sadness over the matter; however, he was told that professors at Rivers State University were earning as much as N1m per month. The Speaker called someone to confirm, and it was found to be true.

“However, he couldn’t take any decision and he noted that he would transmit everything to Buhari and that the President would make the final decision.

“Also on the issue of earned allowances, N50bn has been budgeted to cater for outstanding earned allowances, while N170bn has been fixed for salary increases. However, from 2024, it is the various governing councils that will be paying earned allowances, while N300bn will go for revitalisation.”

When asked to comment on the possibility of suspending the strike, a member of ASUU NEC and the University of Jos ASUU Chairman, Dr Lazarus Maigoro, said, “The decision is for the NEC.”

However, the union’s National President, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, could not be immediately reached for comments.

Benue ASUU

Like some universities, the Benue State University ASUU chapter resolved to respect the ruling of the Appeal Court.

Our correspondent learnt that ASUU from Benue State University and Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University held their meeting on Wednesday.

Though, ASUU chairmen from the two universities, Dr Victor Tarnongo and Prof Ameh Ejembi respectively declined to comment, stating that they were heading to Abuja after their respective chapters meeting for the union’s NEC meeting.

NEC meeting

Meanwhile, the meeting of the NEC is expected to be held at the University of Abuja on Thursday (today).

There, the union is expected to make its stance known officially as regards the lingering strike.

Incorporate UTAS

To avoid another strike, the outgoing Vice Chancellor of the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, Prof. Ganiu Olatunde, has advised the Federal Government to incorporate some of the features of the University Transparency and Accountability Solution into the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System to avoid another strike.

The VC said this on Tuesday, during a chat with journalists in his office to mark the end of his five-year tenure in office.

Olatunde said the only way to peacefully resolve the lingering crisis between the ASUU and the FG over the preferable platform for payment of lecturers’ salaries is for the government to merge the two payment platforms, the UTAS and the IPPIS.

OAU dey quarrel because na them get CONUA the redeemer of Nigerian students

MuslimIgbo:
Lol
How demented are you? You think I'm here to start flaunting my English sentence prowess? Or deh.
You're asking me to be civil Where is your civility in your first post and abuse to the professor? Again, SENSE must be paining you. You can call out and abuse an adult, a constituted authority in his territory, over trying to resist nuisance portrayed by a careless girl endangering the lives of people and motorists, but you want me to be civil? Is that how you address your parents?
Hoe low ree buu
ruu kuu.

elitper:
What can one do to the arrogant ineducable. I leave you to the convenience of your illusion. For the sake of us who share the same nation with you, may you not give birth to your like. And a quick one: you need a refresher in basic English. It's an ordeal reading through. A clue to why you so much detest education.
