Student Loan, Plan To Enslave Nigerian Students — ASUU

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Calabar Zone, has voiced strong objections to the Federal Government’s new student loan initiative, labelling it a tactic to perpetually indebt Nigerian students.
This controversial stance was highlighted during a press conference held in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom State, on Monday.

The Zonal Chairperson of ASUU, Dr. Happiness Uduk, expressed the union’s concerns, asserting that the loan scheme is a strategic move to “enslave Nigerian youths.”

This criticism comes in the wake of the student loan portal’s launch last Friday, which saw an influx of applications from 3,764 students across 126 institutions on its first day.

The Federal Government has defended the loan program as a necessary measure to ensure that no Nigerian youth is deprived of higher education due to financial constraints.

However, ASUU’s leadership argues that the solution lies not in loans but in more direct support measures.

Dr. Uduk pointed out the irony in current policymakers, who themselves benefited from scholarships and bursaries in their student days, now endorsing a loan system for the new generation.

Furthering this point, ASUU’s National President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, has also been vocal in his opposition, suggesting that the government should revert to providing bursaries instead of loans.

Echoing these sentiments, Dr. Uduk, alongside eight other union chairpersons, signed a statement advocating for increased government subvention to higher institutions rather than burdening students with loans.

Uduk said, “It is disheartening that people who attended schools on scholarship, enjoyed meal subsidies, free laundry services, and bursary awards are the same running our economy today.

“Their children are on scholarship in the best foreign universities in the world but after siphoning our economy, they turn around to impose a strangulating education loan on taxpayers’ children who will be enslaved and remain indebted to the country forever. They do not mind the devastating effect of this scheme on the country, such as depression, suicide, and colossal loss of intellectuals.

“To this end, we vehemently condemn the idea of education loans and state clearly that using the money for intervention in higher institutions will bring about a positive turnaround of events that will make our institutions self-reliant with highly subsidised tertiary education in Nigeria.”

The ASUU chairperson called on the Federal Government to come to a renegotiation table and reconvene a committee to review the agreement reached by ASUU leadership and Prof. Nimi Brigs-led government committee with a view to adjusting the document according to the current economic realities so as to have acceptable salary structure for university lecturers.

She also condemned the indiscriminate proliferation of universities in Nigeria without adequate funding by both the federal and state governments, noting that the 2020 ASUU-FGN Memorandum of Action, which stressed the need to review the NUC Act to make it more potent in arresting the reckless and excessive establishment of universities, be fully implemented.

She said, “We urge the President Tinubu-led administration to refrain from further proliferation of universities and rather consolidate on the already existing ones. What we need are universities that are adequately equipped and empowered to address the challenges confronting Nigeria not glorified schools.”

On the ongoing minimum wage negotiation, the ASUU Calabar Zone urged the FG to immediately deploy the instrumentality of collective bargaining to conclude the social dialogue, saying such would lessen the invasive decline in the socio-economic lives of Nigerians.

When it comes to employment what kind of jobs can one apply for that can place you on this career path

Let the enlightenment begin!!!!

But in the main time lemme help u since you can't read...... Ensure you read the post below carefully and with an dictionary to understand clearly!!!

Lollz:
I've never asked my ex or even my male friends for money!!! The truth is the thought never crosses my mind since I don't except a guy to provide for me.

SharingIsLife:
Nice. Many people here are envying her. That's understandable.

Pls, if you are in Nigeria now, learn to calm your frayed nerves. Yes, the country is getting harder. But the only way to better things is to get creative. And, the only way to get creative is to be composed. And, the only way to be composed is to be inwardly calm.

I acknowledge that this is far from being an easy task to pull off. But, it is possible, very possible. Hard times bring out the best in you the way fire brings out the best in gold ore and pressure brings out the juice from fruits. So, hard times have their good sides too.

Again I say...take advantage of the good sides of these hard times and you'd have beautiful stories of your own to tell.

Above all, get closer to the Supernatural You. The fact that so many Nigerians abuse religion shouldn't make you look down on the Supernatural. God is real. Thanks.

Your head dey there jare!!! E don Tay wey I don see this kain sensible comment for NL.

Veterinary medicine plays a crucial role in the oil and gas industry, although it may not be immediately apparent. Here are a few key areas where veterinary medicine contributes to the industry:

1. Animal Health and Welfare: Oil and gas operations often involve working in remote areas where wildlife and livestock may be present. Veterinary professionals are necessary to ensure the health and welfare of animals that may come into contact with these operations. They can provide medical care, vaccinations, disease control, and monitoring to prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases (diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans).

2. Environmental Conservation: Oil and gas operations have the potential to impact the environment, including wildlife habitats and ecosystems. Veterinary professionals with expertise in wildlife health and conservation can contribute to the development and implementation of environmental management plans. They can assess the impact of operations on local fauna, conduct population surveys, and provide recommendations to mitigate potential negative effects.

3. Occupational Health and Safety: The oil and gas industry involves a variety of workers, including those responsible for drilling, extraction, and maintenance. In some cases, these workers may be exposed to animals, such as marine mammals or livestock. Veterinary professionals can advise on occupational health and safety protocols, including the prevention of zoonotic diseases and the management of potential animal-related hazards.

4. Emergency Response and Preparedness: Oil spills or other industrial accidents can have significant consequences for both human and animal populations. Veterinary professionals can contribute to emergency response efforts by providing expertise in animal rescue, triage, and treatment. They can also assist in developing contingency plans to mitigate the impact on wildlife and livestock in the event of an environmental incident.

5. Compliance and Regulatory Requirements: The oil and gas industry operates under various regulatory frameworks, which often include guidelines related to environmental protection and animal welfare. Veterinary professionals can assist companies in complying with these regulations, ensuring that animal health and welfare standards are met, and supporting the industry's social responsibility initiatives.

In summary, veterinary medicine is essential to the oil and gas industry for animal health and welfare, environmental conservation, occupational health and safety, emergency response, and regulatory compliance. By integrating veterinary expertise into their operations, oil and gas companies can mitigate environmental risks, promote animal welfare, and uphold ethical and responsible practices.

Thank you for this!!!! It means alot! My brain and mind is more opened(enlightened).

Burna needs to be constantly reminded of his place in the music industry.

For the fact that he blew copying legendary Fela Kuti; by always offing pants in the stage, doesn't mind he should now come and be robbing shoulders with Davido.

We all know the story, when Wiz and David were dominating (still dominating), Burna was nowhere near the picture. He started gaining relevance in 2018, let's not forget that. Meanwhile, Wiz and David had been there for a very long while dropping hit upon hits.

Fact!!!!

Madness. I blame the churches and families that accept to make wives out of hoes. They will ask for genotype, blood group test and pregnancy test but they will not ask if the couples, especially the lady is sexually pure as a precondition for the solemnization of a marriage. Then when the couples start having sexually related issues in their marriage they will start rubbishing the marriage institution instead of calling out the fools that joined two misfits in an unholy matrimony. If every clergyman and every family enforced the virginity of ladies before marriage, this foolish mother will not allow her daughter have sex before marriage let alone going as far as recommending family planning for an underage girl and even the girl will never try any sexual nonsense knowing fully well she would be jeopardizing her chances of getting married. This will elevate the punishment for rape to capital punishment and will make rape victims easily prove their case.

I feel like insulting you but I won't even waste my time!!
Look here you mysogynistic fellow, Marriage involves two people so what ever ridiculous measures, methods or advice you have should go for both the man and the woman not just the woman!!!! Enough with the bias please!

Are you tired of praying? Have you gotten fed up with talking to yourself in an empty room praying to imaginary beings for fictional help that can never come?

Are you tired of your church? Are you tired of going to church all the time even when you don't want to? Have you been having thoughts about humanity, the afterlife and what happens after death? Are you thinking of quitting your church?

Have you started developing doubts about the Bible or other religious related texts? Is your faith now in doubt? Do you think the teachings of your church is illogical and doesn't make sense?

Are you having doubts about reality, why we are here and whether life is meaningful? Do you want to know the truth about heaven and hell? Do you have the mind to understand occultism and astral projections in grotesque dimensions?

If you are experiencing any of the above thoughts, doubts or questions, your freedom and spiritual awakening is at hand.

Uptownerd will lead you through the hard questions about life, religion, soul and the purpose of death for easier understanding and using same knowledge to emancipate yourself from the matrix.

I have dated this Yoruba girl for about 5 years now.The mum is an Igbo Christian from Anambra and so am I.The Dad is a Muslim based in Anambra.The mum is late.Both the maternal and paternal Uncles are wealthy.She is a Christian but hides it for fear of the family.we have been there for ourselves in all ramifications but the challenge is that the family doesn't want to even hear about me coming to marry their daughter due to differences in tribe and religion.i tried going through the maternal side but they feel they do not have much say and that am not wealthy enough.i have been there for her ensuring she achieves her dream including her becoming a graduate.Now she is about to serve and I attempted going to pay her bride price but the Dad is threatening to kill her is she dares mention my name.Out of fear of losing me we opted for secret court marriage cos we really love ourselves.The family have been threatening us with everything since I asked her to let them know I want my people to come and meet them. I have not been myself for days now ,bad thoughts upon thought.Religion, tribalism and poverty, I don't even know which is worse

Op one thing u have failed to understand is the dynamics around these "people" and their lifestyle. It's okay and even a sweet thing for one of theirs ( male) to marry one of ours(female) but it is a big tabooo that they will go to any lengths to prevent or punish if one of ours (male) should marry theirs (female). So just leave this English you are speaking about her late mum being Igbo...my dear it's a good thing that can earn them paradise according to them.but the other however is a grievous taboooooo!!!
I would suggest, you keep searching for the bone of your bone, most especially in someone you are equally yoked with and don't place ur life and that of ur up coming family in grave danger!!!
