FG won't pay ASUU any money for sitting at home for 7 months.

No matter how long it takes, they will still pay them.
What of ASUU forfeiting what they could have taught during the 7 months and move on to the next academic session? Implying that the current year one's will go back and write UTME while the current final year won't graduate?
ASUU is the cause of all these because I did not know why they refused when FG in 2017 proposed 200% increment in tuition fees for students, as a major source for university funding! By now there will be enough money to meet these demands. I really blame ASUU!!

Well Deserved!

Laggafin:
But I tot he said buhari is the best thing that happened to him and Nigeria

Hahaha, maybe to him alone!
Both him and Buhari should be in old people's home reminiscing how they spent their "earlier" lives!

IamDietiesGod:
Wahala dey o. See how ASUU and FG are playing te n tebo (ludo) on children's future.

FG has decided to let go of peace and give vawulence a try.

If FG is interested in ending this strike soon, they know exactly what to do, -pay the backlog of salaries, with the 23.5 to 35% increment for professors!
Saying the increment will take effect from next year and you will not pay them 7 months backlog is trouble! Of course you don't expect them to agree to that! Many are in debts already and may not even have the money for normal academic activities and research without those salaries!

Laggafin:
Lol.. so he is aware too?

The fact is that they are not giving him the kind of support he gave to Buhari in 2014/2015.
And he should have noticed that.
Most top Northern governors appear calm and sitting on the fence!
They are dangling in-between Atiku and Tinubu.
You haven't heard of APC chairman of a certain northern state suspended for anti party activities?

Conclusion, Buhari has done overtly bad and has no selling point!

Laggafin:
We know the game.. they are surreptitiously working for Atiku

That's why Tinubu is campaigning with what he did in Lagos

The raging dispute between the federal government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) that has kept many universities shut for more than seven months will shift to the Industrial court next Monday. ASUU had embarked on strike since February 15 to protest alleged decay of infrastructure at the various institutions, as well as neglect of the welfare of its members.

A reliable source at the Federal Ministry of Labour told THISDAY last night that the ministry’s Trade Dispute Department had filed a case before the Industrial Arbitration Court in Abuja and that the hearing would commence next Monday.

According to the source, “The federal government has filed a case at the Industrial Court challenging the continued strike by the university teachers. This is in conformity with Section 17 of the Trade Dispute Act.”
There have been series of negotiations between the federal government and the ASUU leadership but all ended in stalemate without a tangible outcome.

However, talks between the federal government and ASUU finally hit the rocks last Tuesday after both sides met at the National University Commission’s office in Abuja.

The federal government had said that it would not sign any other agreement it cannot implement.

Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, disclosed this during a meeting of Pro-Chancellors and Vice Chancellors of Federal Universities, held at the NUC’s office.
Adamu said President Muhammadu Buhari had warned the government’s team involved in the negotiation with ASUU against signing an agreement that the government would not be able to fulfil.

The minister said the government had offered the union a 23.5 per cent salary increase “for all categories of the workforce in federal universities, except for the professorial cadre which will enjoy a 35 per cent upward review. He said the government had also promised that N150 billion “shall be provided for in the 2023 Budget as funds for the revitalisation of federal universities, to be disbursed to the Institutions in the First Quarter of the year.”
Also, the government said N50 billion would be provided “for in the 2023 Budget for the payment of outstanding arrears of earned academic allowances, to be paid in the first quarter of the year.”

However, ASUU and three other university unions have rejected the offer, describing it as “inadequate to meet their respective demands needed to tackle the challenges confronting the university system.”

divinehand2003:
I strongly believe that this is just about one-tenth the total fraudulent payroll entries. I also believe that some staff of the Federal Government receive up to 5 salaries using phony names and accounts that lead to same person in the end.

Bro, this is part of the reason why many parastatals never wanted IPPIS, imagine as a VC of a school, your staff strength is 5,000 and they are telling FG they pay 8,000. The remaining 3,000 will be cornered to their cronies, some which are even abroad! This was discovered long ago with complaints but they paid deaf ears, okay today they have woke up?

Zimmermann:
Yekini Amoda Ogunlere is responsible for this…

Haha, wetin concern Agbado for this one again

Photographers can cheat for Africa
I don't blame the groom at all!

Kelvinnchucks:
Nigga said her salary is 50K... Keep trusting God.

Keep trusting God for 50k?... God abeg

Double of what she was earning before!
That's an improvement bro, with university scholarship

An animal is an animal no matter the training!

Omonieme:
We're almost becoming a fascist state. A situation where supporters of a candidate build a God like image of him, no criticism is allowed else you're tagged as a hungry man or one who doesn't care about the future of his children or one who doesn't love his nation. A situation where non support for this same man will end with you facing cyber bullying of the highest sort. We indeed are on our way to becoming a fascist state.

You sure went to school?

North wasn't known with this kind of bitter politics, quite pitiful!

SOFTSKILL:
You must assume everybody is a fool. The Osinbajo that you called errand boy of Aso rock and a fake pastor for over seven years! You want to have a soft landing with a weak candidate. The president of US is older than Tinubu and the country is still standing tall. Not the age rather the ideas

Sorry! You guys don't think straight
We are not on the same level of thought bro
So Sorry!!
I am just an individual thinking on how Nigeria will be better.
I have had a one-to-one encounter with Prof. Osibanjo and that man is utterly sound, the current fulani FG has grossly mis used and underestimated him.
Again, I am just interested in who will make Nigeria better, Tinubu of early 2000's is not Tinubu of today.
Can't you see that his health and memories are failing him already?
Then add extra 8 years to it assuming he wins, what do we have
Physiologically, many 80's are stronger than 70's and so on but he's already shaking with difficulty remembering, then add another 8 years to it.
Can he stand for one hour and address the committee of nations with comportement?

GodsOwnMan:
eboes

I am not being tribalistic or political here but why didn't you guys bring up Osinbajo?
What does an 87 year old man with frail health and failing memory offer to Nigeria at this moment
Osibanjo has been my candidate inasmuch I am not yoruba!
Of what special advantage or how does it affect your personal life if Tinubu is there? Or mere tribal sentiments
Everybody should join hands let's rescue Nigeria!
You have better people like Osibanjo, Akinwumi Adesina, e.t.c
Why must it be someone that selfishly believes it's his turn?

SafariHunter:
What about now,is it still tales
ASUU na political tool ...

Haha, I am neither a lecturer nor a politician, but can you state what FG offered on the table for them?
1. Accept 60k increament for professors and 30k for others and FORFEIT 7 months salary but you make up for the lost months on the student side
2. 50billion earned allowance and 100billion to VC's for revitalisation
These things are promises to start from NEXT year's budget that will come effect after Q1, probably around April or May next year
This current government has failed ASUU on 2 former promises and that is what led to this current strike. You want them to end it now and probably prepare for another one in the next few months?
Anyway if I'm in their shoes, I might end it, do away with the salary and student's will also FORFEIT what I could have done during the strike.
No make up in any form!!
I seriously maintain my stand that the FG is deceitful and insincere!!!
Please ask them what happened with the November 2020 agreement signed to be implemented with the 2021 supplementary budget? AND UTAS agreement of 31st December 2020?
What of the 2017 promises and agreements
The earlier you know whom these people are the better!!

Q

Gerraway.........
Both of you wanna be president after Buhari
#Let's go South!!

Ebubu:
Proscribe ASUU for all I care. Their own don do! After all IPOB was proscribed when their own too much. Stop holding students to ransom. They’ve paid school fees but can’t learn. Those in final year entered final year since two years ago.

With FG refusing to pay them 6 months arrears, will they teach students what they missed in the 6 months or continue new session entirely?
Maybe those in final will wait till whenever ASUU is paid, or there won't current year one

adioolayi:
What's 60,000

A young Professor will still not earn #500,000 ...even the older ones will barely crossed #500,000.

Still Nonsense!

If ASUU gree, I repeat, dey are EPA.

Seriously old Professors in my school are earning less than 350k, I don't know of younger ones, my uncle snapped his January 2022 salary payslip and posted in our WhatsApp, it was 341k.
This man will retire in 3 years time, He's 67 this year and got this job when he was 31.
After 36years in service, he is earning 341k still living in a flat! Not even a bungalow

Amerengues2:
ASUU-FG impasse continually meets a brick wall because deception, chicanery and thrives in Govt' veins.

I am ashamed the way governments belabour on Prof's (about 6%-9% of academic staff) salaries alone when in actual fact, this strike is for the entire system.

How can a Graduate Assistant be earning #105-110k

How can an Assistant Lecturer be earning #120k+ even with MSc,

How can PhD, be earning #148k plus.

We had better told ourselves the truth.

Ordinary Bsc. earns 300k in some organisation and some even earn more than profs.

They will write, research and submit publications to journals and pays in dollars out of this salary.

Most will even equip their offices with this same salaries.

When we are ready, let us know

You're informed Bro, Impressive!

Indians can be weird
What does he do with these things?
For sale, pet or what

SafariHunter:
Don't see the need for hurling insults .. Just state your points coherently and NEgedu..


Commot body o

Peace.... but this government dey make man vex with their insincerity and media deceit!

assholemods:
Agricultural sector, health sector, transportation any sector you can think about in Nigeria is under mess! Why are the workers in all those areas not acting like ASUU?
I am not in anyway supporting FG but ASUU demands are always too outrageous and they want most of those demands almost instantly. Meanwhile they are also part of the decay in the universities they are pretending to safe...
Lectures victimizing students for no reason, demanding sex for mark etc These are also part of the causes of decay in our universities. Most of them don't even teach but they will be asking for better pay. .. Pots calling kettle black!

You're right but there are still the good ones, everybody won't suffer because of the bad apples!

assholemods:
Who is ASUU to tell their employer the mode thru their salaries should be paid? Who does that? If there are loopholes it can be corrected. Is it not soft ware?
Greedy lecturers collecting salaries from different universities, that is one their grouse because IPPIS stoped that.
We all know that our government have failed but ASSU are just too greedy. The same problem they are facing is also affecting every part of the economy why are others not as greedy as them?

Since 2019 When Committee of Vice Chancellors spoke of these loopholes(a situation where you have 5,000 staff and the suspended AGF is telling FG he pays 7,000, among others), why haven't they corrected the software.
UTAS did not account for double salaries from different universities, why haven't they accepted it?
Now ASUU said they should at least fulfill their 2009 agreement, wahala
Renegotiate the agreement to what you can do, wahala
Is the government not crazy
A professor is greedy for demanding a pay rise from 315k they are currently paying him since 2009

bro4u:
ASUU should please STFU,, they're super selfish

When currently a professor in Nigeria is earning 315k
My uncle just left with his family to UK on an appointment (5k GBP) monthly!
Imagine a renowned professor of Physics earning 315k monthly and people are here calling him selfish!
I truly believe we are the cause of our problems!!!

assholemods:
Including their greedy and unrealistic requests?

Do you know up till today, FG has no offer on ASUU's table
During an interview on 13th of July, ASUU chairman dared FG to tell Nigerians what they have to offer ASUU and since then, NOTHING has been said
ASUU said they don't want IPPIS , FG said NO
Pantami came out yesterday and declared that IPPIS has big loopholes, it failed their integrity test!!....among other demands which FG has offered nothing
Is it good to continue paying someone the same salary since 2009?

SafariHunter:
I am obedient but I actually agree with Adamu Garba when he said the ASUU strike has political undertones.
The FG has met their needs to a very large extent, 100% pay rise( excluding state uni which is very understandable as most states haven't even implemented minimum wage).
TET fund has released billions.
Earned allowances have been paid.
UTAS is at final stages of testing...



ASUU doesn't care about us, they have a sole responsibility to students and not telling us to vote out APC which we will already do...

Just NEgedu ASUU matter

Bro it seems you're delusional by following all those media rubbish they talk
FG has not and will never even do these things you listed up there, ASUU is currently waiting for them to even make a request of what they can do, as I am talking to you now, NOTHING is on ASUU's table to consider!!
I even wonder where you got these information because FG cannot openly claim these things you said up there, NONE I mean none of those things have been Done!
UTAS has been in it's final stage of testing since March? hahaha
I am happy Pantami told them yesterday that IPPIS failed integrity test!

IT tech skills are goldmine not to be compared with these theoretical M.Sc we do here, and Data Science is one of the top 10 IT jobs out there.
Let him judiciously study it, build his portfolio in relation to real world problems, then jobs will come.
Make sure he knows his excel/spreadsheets, then proceed to Data Analytics, to Data Science!
