Are you aware that the lost topics will be taught, project students will be attended to, etc. If you don't pay them, it's simple, when the FG meets their requirements, they'll resume and when they do, they'll proceed to a new session, meaning, no results, no one graduates since they weren't paid for.

Senseless govt

Pymetrics:

But when he resumes in Month 5 to start the work of Month 3, won't you give him new additional project to combine with the work of month 3? The new project is the new student to be admitted through the last concluded jamb and adverts for pg schools. Except you will say don't take new project, only start from the existing one. And I know that parents will come in here when they see that new project which is the new student won't be admitted. They have to wait for another year again. The lecturing job is even more complex than the analogy of architect.

9jatriot:
I am trying to understand you.
Let us run throw 1 scenarios.

Scenario 1
You employ the services of an architect with the following job description and timeline.
Month 1: Design floor plan: Workdone: Paid
Month 2: Build the foundation: Workdone: Paid
Month 3: Do the block work: Work not done (Strike): Not Paid
Month 4: Roof the house: Work not done (Strike): Not Paid

Now let us test how logical you are. Assuming this architect now resumes in Month 5 to start work of Month 3, and tells you that you have to pay him for Month 3 and 4 but he will start the work of Month 3 in Month 5, will you as a business owner or an individual pay him?

You guys always forget that the FG is your employer and they are the ones to tell you what to do as employees.

I really wish FG can follow through with this no work no pay. ASUU is trying to use this election & students[b] to hold FG to ransom and I wish FG has the balls to call their bluff

[b]Can you tell your landlord that since you travelled for 3 months that you will not pay rent for those 3 months

NezzyMike:




Hahaha, no work no pay while students are languishing. Is the salary Buhari's? Let me educate you small, before a strike is embarked, government is informed thrice but Buhari who doesn't priotise education always shun them. There's money in this country, he should pay them, it is not his!!!

Peacefulmindz:

If you or any of your family people are lecturers you will not yan this rubbish here.
Na only them go for strike? No be ASUU force everybody go house?

Ebubu:


I don’t care. We kukuma no get classrooms before. I’m supposed to have graduated last year then your 2020 strike happened, now I’m supposed to graduate last April now you’re striking into December and next year.




You waste 2 years of my life, but want me to support you getting paid for wasting my life ?

I will rather waste 2 more years than support FG paying you for those months of strike.


You were paid during 2020 strike merely because FG had sympathy owing to covid 19 lockdown.


FG can change their mind later to pay you, I won’t know. But if it were left for me as a student, I don’t support you getting paid.

My house rent is wasting and I’ll pay new one from nothing, my years are wasting but you want me to support you. Please go on with the strike, who has lost 2 years can easily lose few more months.

My joy is you will never get paid for what you had done.

Ebubu:


If you’re never tired of collecting loans, keep on with the strike till new year.

You fit no even see money buy bag of rice for Christmas for your kids.

Bigfish121:
Imagine within the space of 3 years, they went on strike 2 times just imagine.

DevilSignature:
most I admonish you guys before you make comments here, borrow some sense even if you have none. Now put yourself in ASUU shoes, if you were an ASUU staff and your protested for irregularities in your working environment and the government turned a deaf ear, you used strike option now the government come out to say they are not gonna pay you your salaries, how are gonna feel?

Note it's legal for members of staffs under Nigerian Labour Congress or any labour union in the world to protest or use strike option called government attention in cases of non proper working environment or other irregularities, also note that throughout the six months of ASUU strike federal government has never issue a suspension letter to any of ASUU staffs branches or ASUU in general, so why won't pay them their salaries?

BrutusOj:
And a few other greedy people will loot the money budgeted for the salary of university lecturers abi? You can talk about them forfeiting allowances but not their salary. Do you realise that some of them have been living on credit since the strike began? Have they been feeding on grass since the strike began? If not for the irresponsible government, there wouldn't have been strike in the first place. Lett be objective when responding to issues such as this please.

babyfaceafrica:


Who will compensate the students for 7 months loss in their life? Some can't go to NYSC due to age factor.? Yet banks and other top companies will be asking of 26 years with 2 years experience!!!. ASUU always get paid whenever strikes ends, who pays the students for time lost!

Middleborn:


My question to the FG and whoever supports the FG in this persecution of Lecturers is, who is going to complete the backlog of work that has stockpiled since February 14?

The nature of work done by academic lecturers puts them in a position where there is a lot of work to be done in every semester from the class room to the lab to the office dealing with scripts and documents etc. In most cases, Universities are under staffed, hence the workload. If the lecturers don't do their work for 6 months, that job will be there waiting for them because unlike other kinds of jobs where you can just resume and start from current activities, the lecturers have to start from where they stopped. The students cannot for example move to the next level if they have not been taught, if they don't take their exam and have their scripts marked.

So if the FG can contract the backlog of work stockpiled since February 14 till date to someone else, then their no work no pay policy will be upheld. In fact the FG should be helping the lecturers to resolve this backlog of work that have resulted due to the striking process, this would show their commitment to education. But you see, the FG doesn't give a fvck whether the work is done or not. not paying the lecturers the six months salary would mean that they can resume and abandon the work on the table. The fact that the FG know this and has decided not to do anything about it is what should disturb the students and Nigeria as a whole.

Nezee:
ASUU is an association of Selfish and greedy individuals who thinks they can always use the Nigerian students education to fight for their selfish interests. Both ASUU and FG have no students interests. FG should stick to the golden rule ' no work, no pay' so that when next ASUU wants to embark on a strike to fight for their selfish interests, they would have to think twice! Nonsensicals!!

TenQ:

I'm sure you know that Government is a continuum.

All the money Buhari borrowed must be paid back by his successor!

So it is with negotiated deals and agreements!

TenQ:

The truth is that government is not ready to fulfill the signed agreement hence their procrastinations and delay tactics.
If ASUU excos could be easily bribed, the FG would have taken such options but nay, ASUU structure doesn't allow national excos undue powers from the state chapters

shortIGBOman:


God bless you Brotherly.


Fvck ASUU. We are solidly behind FG on this NO WORK NO PAY.

Hain, she was a bully who quarreled with every living thing in that house whenever she wasn’t gossiping. If she was the life, why was she thrown out when the chance was presented? I’m sure with time she would have fought her own reflection. Very toxic human being.

TenQ:

The agreement was even renegotiated by the FG in 2013 and yet, the FG failed to honour their part of the agreement.

Whose fault!?

TenQ:

No sir. There was no underground negotiation. In fact, government IGNORED ASUU until ASUU went on strike. Without the strike, Government would not have minded ASUU.

The FG is actually very irresponsible as a government.
They want ASUU to keep quiet and pretend that no agreement was signed with Government since 2009. Is that fair?

sultan003:


Your analogy does not apply to an academic environment. But even if we are to go there, there are two scenarios

1. I stop work and the project is paused, whenever i resume you, i continue from where i paused the project and you will pay me for the work i am doing

2. I stop work, the project continues because you hired another person to continue the job, whenever i resume, you will pay me from the point i resumed.. no one in his or her right senses will demand pay for a job done by someone else

In summary, you don't get it and will never get it, so leave matter for those that can comprehend....

Niklaus398:
never say never. I might be one day and get to rule you.
I'm far better citizens than you cause I don't lick the president ass. People like you are demonic. You know the president is wrong but you support him.

janvier27:
I'll pick only one item, earned allowance. Lecturers are owed the peanuts earned allowance for years. The only times they got paid some amount was when they went on strike. Now they went on strike and it took over three months before government agreed to talks. Now we are saying they should not be paid for the strike forced on them. Truly we deserve the government we have.

JJuanMiguel:

ASUU thought it was the right time to strike and ask for 180% rise in pay cos of election

Niklaus398:
hate and envy for a failure? If I was the President I would have done a better job. Heck, even a bby can do a much better job.

We4all:


Read to understand and read well. I cannot be explaining every sarcasm that I post.

Godoverevery:


Where is your own proof

The moment you admit this ASUU strike is for selfish interests the better for you.

If ASUU wants to be honest let them post there demand out on the media but I know they can't because it major about there salaries and welfare.

I have an uncle who is a lecturer and he is my source.

fergie001:

So, who was President in 2020?
So they now negotiate demands yearly or biennially?

The FG should come out and say we will accept this one and not accept this one. This pattern of theirs isn't helping @ all.
