My dear Oblivion, I am not an old Professor. Sometimes, ask questions especially on issues that are a bit unclear to you.

What you failed to mention is that salaries of the GAs and ALs were reduced to accommodate that of Professors and Readers, so you think that is fair, just and alright?

Who told you the FG has implemented UTAS?
NITDA affirmed that UTAS bettered IPPIS, so where did you hear that they assented to UTAS (in writing). is it supposed to be a gentleman's agreement or be done in writing like IPPIS was done?

What do you mean some type of visitation?
What type of visitation?
Be specific about it.

The FG can even negotiate with the salary aspect, it is not the only demand!

This is the fact as of today:

‘’They met with the president, he set up a committee headed by the Chief of Staff that should resolve this quickly, the world saw it in the press, they did nothing. The president set up the Munzali committee, we met them finish, nothing, they didn’t come back. They set up the Nimi Briggs committee, it’s now more than three months, two months we finished negotiating with them, they didn’t come back.

‘’The president directed the Ministry of Education to finish within two weeks, two weeks has passed, they didn’t come back.’’


Now, listen to the Chairperson, Committee of VCs in Nigeria;

"This issue of saying we don’t have money to put into the university system shouldn’t be. It is like the Needs Assessment fund; it was not given to ASUU, it was given to the universities.

“When they say we don’t have funds, what they are saying is that ‘these universities are our own but we don’t have money to give. We don’t have money to pay for overhead to run the universities.’ I listened to Keyamo also. He is not even at the centre of the whole thing.”


Now, gently ..... Go through this, just yesterday;

GeneralBuhari:


Just look at your stupid logic.

So let's assume you are in charge of building a house for me.

And then you decide to stop coming to work in 2020

And then you come back in 2022 to resume the work from where you stopped

And then you insist that I must pay you for the work you didnt do in 2021 simply because you are resuming from where you stopped.

What type of nonsense reasoning is that?

And yet you want the whole world to call you an intellectual?

No work no pay, abeg!

Nauttyprof:


ASUU is greedy but your Politicians are saint who have made the educational system rot to this stage. Did you hear yourself?

Fairness and equity must be brought to this. Someone spent fortunes to get elected is not an excuse to lavishly spend our resources. Please, say something else

Hadizometer:

Are they paid based on work done or monthly?

LORDCYPRESS:


fergie001

Mr oblivion...(op)

Pls answer this question sincerely.

Since you only know how to support evil...

Niklaus398:
why should dey govt delay the inevitable? We all know they're gonna pay ASUU that money one way or the other so why stress it and take students time?
Fg will still pay more than half of their salaries either way, so it is better they begin now.

Heterodox:
The OP is just one of many bastards around.



Are you okay with the useless graduates Nigeria education system is producing?

TenQ:

ASUU is not asking for more money. ASUU is simply asking that the signed agreements between ASUU and the FG be honoured!

Is there anything wrong with insisting that a signed agreement be honoured?

Haywhy3579:

I schooled in a public university and i withness ASUU strike first hand. The lecturers always come back to class rooms to rush students and the school also shorten there calendar and give like a week holiday between semesters. So it still doesn’t justify the fact that the lecturer will do six month work in 2 months and now collect 8 months salaries with 2 month job

sultan003:




Okay, so cancelling it and starting a new session is the best way forward then..
Otherwise suggest the best solution

FYI, no one is going to rush anyone.. those session will go on normally, except there will be no holidays

If you schooled abroad and schooled in a Nigerian federal University, you will understand what is going on..

kafeii123:
Foolishness...ASUU didn't start the strike because of unpaid salaries...the strike wasn't because of unpaid salaries... even if you pay the salaries..ASUU would still not resume unless the issues that caused the strike in the first place.. become resolved...

If you will punish ASUU for maintaining the strike...then you should also include everyone in the ministries of labor... and education... for letting the strike go on this far...yet not resolving anything....

After all ASUU had concluded talks with the government's teams... before the minister of education now suddenly came up with a sham decree that negates all the terms of the concluded agreement

Haywhy3579:

So work is done by quickly rushing students to examination table just after one month of resumption. Paying them amount to scamming millions of Nigerians wch include u and I. By next year they will still strike because it is a norms to them and they know government will pay them

sultan003:



There is nothing like work not done in the university academic system, because whenever the strike is called off all those semesters and session paused will be resumed and concluded before a new session is started.

So the work is still done, except when those semesters and sessions are cancelled that is when work is not done

rant19ade:
In saner climes and with responsible govt, no strike to a key sector of the economy/sociol life will reach six months. Most would have been btw 2weeks to a month.
So the idea of no work no pay make sense.
After fg dragged leg for over six months now wants to not pay for those period because of no work no pay policy can't work.
Simple

JJuanMiguel:

Because it was unreasonable, ASUU asking for 180% salary increment. It means someone on 200k will jump to 560k.

FG who is their employer offered 30k-60k increment, they said it's too small and that's part of why they are still at home.
But the major reason, even though they will deny it is the shock of the stance of FG on no work no pay policy. They didn't anticipate it, some have even borrowed money via their cooperatives to sustain themselves during the strike with the hope to get a huge sum when they call off to pay back. Now FG have put them in a more difficult position.

We4all:
If they are paying bandits for killing, why shouldn’t they pay ASUU for striking?

Jflex07:
Trash from an Apc paid urrchin. You blame ASUU but exonerate the useless government.

GeneralBuhari:
ASUU own don too much.

There should be consequences for going on all these unnecessary strikes.

I'm glad the federal government has decided to remind ASUU who the boss really is now.

By the time ASUU finally decides to come back from their indefinite leave, even if they eventually get paid for the work not done, at least their body go don hear am well.

One union will just be thinking they are better than the rest meanwhile you can't even see the evidence of excellence in what they claim they are producing.

Next time when they want to declare their usual annual holiday a.k.a strike, the fear of not getting paid in the end will make them to think twice.

Missionaire:

Where is it done that a union will declare 6 months strike, and still be expecting a salary for work not done?

Where is it done that a Union will return from strike and still do the backlog of the work they didn't do while on strike (without being paid)?

It is a simple thing. Either ASUU is paid for the time on strike since they will still do the backlog of the work just as they have been doing or they don't get paid but it is agreed that they will start on a new slate thereby making new students, final year students and pending lectures to be overboarded.

Connected1:
The Government should maintain their No Work No Pay stance.

I already made the mistake of applying to study in a Federal University, so I will support the cause for a better education system for the future generations of Nigerian Students.

The incessant strikes of ASUU kills the little drive and passion to study that the lecturers couldn't kill with their wickedness.

TenQ:

ASUU and NMA are the best organised labour force in Nigeria!

That is why it is impossible to break them unlike your other unions: think of that.

I hope you know that the joint organisation of Research institutes in Nigeria had been on strike since October 2021 till date?

Softmirror:


IT TELLS YOU HOW USELESS THEY ARE TO ME. VERY USELESS THAT I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE I HAVE BEEN MIS-RESPRESENTING THE LETTERS THAT DEPICTS ASUU/ ASSU. BUT THEN, IF FROM ALL I HAVE WRITTEN WHAT MATTERS TO YOU IS A SPELLING ERROR THEN YOU MUST BE ONE OF THE TYPE OF PROFESSORS AM TALKING ABOUT. DYSFUNCTIONAL TO THE NIGERIAN SOCIETY.

loko50

TenQ:

I can understand why you are oblivious of the true situation on ground.

If the FG had negotiated with ASUU without the need of strikes, what would have happened? Who caused the strike.

Who weaponized payment of salary to frustrate negotiations!?

As far as you are concerned the FG is a saint: they conceded to 60% of the demands of a negotiation of a renegotiation by the FG!!?

ejimatic:
. I am only concerned about students at home.

As for ASUU if they want to resign let them do so. ASUU should learn how to shift ground.

After all they are fighting for their pockets not in the interest of Nigeria.

FG should put an end to their excesses No union is sacred in Nigeria.

samuelpeters:

Dormant staff members is different from striking staff members.

The former is not doing anything because their industry/place of work is not functional. While the latter decided to stop providing tertiary educational services.

I get your point. But if they pay them, what about students? Who will compensate them for wasted time.

samuelpeters:
I still believe ASUU and FG are not sincere. Both do not want to shift ground.

But ASUU should have called off the strike, and start negotiation with the incoming government that would have atleast more than 4 years to implement their demands.

FG should not pay them shi shi. Atleast make them feel wetin students de feel

princeade86:
students are still enjoying home. Their parents are still enjoying seen them staying at home with them and helping them do one or two things. If not, it doesn't cost students to troop out and stage a massive protest against government by delaying their destiny. I don't know why people are blaming ASUU for the strike, while in every sectors of government, billions of naira are missing without traces. Is unfair. If Nigeria labor Congress can hold government tight like ASUU, by now, Nigeria would have better. But their own sector already compromise with bad leadership.

Godoverevery:


More pressure to move there retirement age to 70yrs??

ASUU is the most selfish union in this country follow by the doctors.

How can a union want there retirement age increase twice within 8yrs.

It was moved from 60yrs to 65yrs just 8yrs back now they want it to be moved to 70yrs.

Are they the only civil servant in the country??

fergie001:
My dear Oblivion,

You should have mentioned the demands and name the ones the FG has fulfilled.

loko50:
I wonder how old you are and if you have knowledge of what ASUU is requesting for. Your biased opinion is solely based on witheld salaries but you failed to mention the renegotiation of the current salary. How can workers be on same salary since 2009? It would be better if you can provide a more general view that this monolithic approach. This make you look like someone sponsored by the government.
