BREAKING: ASUU opts for one-month warning strike – Source
ASUU rounded off its “NEC for NEC” meeting at about 3 a.m. on Monday and will formally brief the press on Monday morning.

A reliable source at the just concluded National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has confided in PREMIUM TIMES that the union resolved to embark on one-month “comprehensive and total” strike to compel the Nigerian government to acede its requests.

According to the source, who was part of the meeting, the union took the decision “reluctantly” despite interventions by many prominent Nigerians.

He said the decision was to save Nigeria’s university system considering what he described as the deteriorating state of Nigerian universities. He said government’s alleged recalcitrance made the position unavoidable.

“The indefinite and total strike is for four weeks . We hope govt would do the needful within the next four weeks,” the source said in a terse statement shared with our reporter on Monday morning.

PREMIUM TIMES had on Sunday night reported that ASUU had scheduled a meeting it tagged “NEC for NEC” for midnight on Sunday to take the final decision on behalf of the various congresses of its chapters.

The meeting was a follow-up to the then ongoing two-day marathon meeting which had kicked off on Saturday at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka.

ASUU rounded off its “NEC for NEC” meeting at about 3 a.m on Monday when the branch chairman of the union in UNILAG, Dele Ashiru, confirmed that the national President, Emmanuel Osodeke, would address the media by 9 a.m. on Monday.

Mr Ashiru, whose note was tagged; “ASUU Press conference,” said he was inviting journalists on behalf of the national leadership of the union.

The note reads in part; “Dear colleague, good morning Ma\Sir. Pls ASUU’s NEC media briefing now to hold as follows; Date: MONDAY, Feb 14; Time: 9.00am; Venue… Tayo Aderinokun Auditorium, Behind Faculty of Law, University of Lagos.”

He apologised for the short notice.

NIRSAL AD

Mr Ashiru, however, did not hint of the union’s final decision as he refused to pick follow-up calls from our reporter.

ASUU’s demands
The demands of the lecturers’ union have barely changed since the signing of the ASUU/FG 2009 agreement.

These demands include the sustainability of the university autonomy, which the union said the introduction of the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS) for the payment of its emoluments violates. The union seeks its replacement with its own University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS).

Other demands include the endorsement of the renegotiated 2009 ASUU-FGN agreement, which it said was concluded in May, 2021; release of the reports of visitation panels to federal universities and distortions in salary payment challenges.

ASUU also demands funding for revitalisation of public universities, earned academic allowance, improved funding of state universities and promotion arrears.

I'm not suprise Tinubu has people singing his praise. Even if the devil comes out now to run for president, people will be there to give support.

If we joke with this coming election, then we shouldn't be surprised if Tinubu ends up as president, this is Nigeria.

Na wa oh! Just to quench fire?

There was confusion in Kaduna metropolis on Saturday as fire gutted the residence of controversial Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi.

It was gathered that the fire gutted the Islamiyya school located around the Alimi area in the heart of the city.

The Islamiyya school, also housed the residence of the fiery Islamic cleric

A source, who craved anonymity, noted that there was thick smoke coming out of the buildings, forcing other residents of the area to fetch waters to put out the fire.


“We just saw smoke coming out from one of the classes. We immediately drew the attention of the people around and started fetching water to prevent the fire from reaching to the other buildings,” the source said.

The way and manner uniformed men dey disrespect executive governors for this regime eh

List of 5 worst Governors in Nigeria
1. Ortom
2. Ikpeazu
3. Darius
4. Makinde
5. Ortom.

The list started and fin shows with Ortom so that he will top it whether it is in ascending or descending order.

I do not condone AnimalCruelty , however, I really find it somewhat amusing that one would call for "huge" or severe punishment for Zouma,over how he treated his "cat",while sitting across their own apartment eating KFC "chicken" wings.

REVEALED: Egypt goalkeeper Gabaski had a water bottle listing Senegal players' penalty preferences during AFCON final shootout defeat... with the shot stopper going the right way all but once and saving Sadio Mane's spot-kick in normal time


Egypt Keeper's Water Bottle Covered With Notes On Senegal's Penalty Takers Preferences Discovered

The water bottle belonging to Egypt goalkeeper, Gabaski, listing Senegal players' penalty-taking preferences on it - has been found after the final of the African Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

The final between the Teranga Lions of Senegal and the Pharaohs of Egypt was decided by a penalty shoot-out, which the former won.

With his notes, pasted to the bottle, which he studied intently before each penalty, Gabaski went the right way all but once and saving Sadio Mane's spot-kick in normal time. Unfortunately, his efforts failed to yield the trophy to Egypt.

What is Fashola the super Minister doing about the incessant drop?

Just hand over the country to this guy

Nigeria should brace up for Impact.

Negotiations between Arsenal and Barcelona over the signing of Gunners forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have broken down.

Barca are still interested in a deal for the Gabon striker but need Arsenal to cover more of his wages.

Aubameyang, 32, flew out to Spain to have a medical as he looked to complete a move to the Catalan side until the end of the season.

He has not played for Arsenal since a disciplinary breach in December.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta told El Mundo Deportivo: "He has a house in Sitges [near Barcelona] and everyone knows we would like to have him.

"He is trying to sort out his situation with Arsenal. It's complicated but we will keep trying."

Aubameyang, who had been linked with a switch to Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr, landed in Spain on Monday.

Transfer deadline day latest
Deadline-day done deals as they happen
If Aubameyang departs, it will leave Gunners boss Mikel Arteta with just Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah as his forwards for the remainder of the season.

Aubameyang was sent home early from the Africa Cup of Nations in January because of ongoing health issues.

The striker missed Gabon's draw with Ghana after scans revealed "heart lesions" following a bout of Covid, although later scans gave him the all-clear.

Na only her back view them see snap?

Very sad news indeed but come to think of it, how many helicopters does the Nigerian Police have? i doubt if its up to eight. why is it difficult to maintain them?

The same people that would be upset with Trump for saying this are now celebrating it. It will fuel CNN for days.

Following a threat by the President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) that the union’s chapter in Lagos may be suspended, the State Government has suspended the transport union operations around Lagos Island particularly on Church Street, Eyin Eyo, and Idumota bridge indefinitely due to the recent clashes that crippled activities in Idumota axis of the state.

In the aftermath of the clashes, Lagos State Rapid Response Squad (RRS) on Monday disclosed the arrest of Messrs Azeez Lawal, popularly known as ‘Kunle Poly’ and Mustapha Sego, whose groups engaged in a violent clash that left four people dead.

Details later…
