hmmm u just gave alot of pple hope this nite thanks for the info.

The chairman of ASUU chapter at
Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko
(AAUA), in Ondo State, Dr. Busuyi Mekusi,
insisted that his members were still part of the
ongoing national strike, and debunked the
reports about resuming lectures.
Dr. Mekusi stressed that the University
Chapter of ASUU was in support of the action
of its national body, signed the appropriate
statemet on November 21, 2013, Thursday:
"We, the executives of ASUU, AAUA
chapter, wish to dissociate ourselves from
the purported resumption of academic
activities in the university, as its members
are still part of the ongoing national
strike by the Union.
"Members should therefore, disregard
any pullout to abandon the struggle, and
be steadfast until the present position is
reviewed by NEC. The Union also wants
to make it abundantly clear that it would
resist every tyrannical propensity to
intimidate and harass its members".
It would be recalled that in a statement issued
and signed by its Registrar, R.B Olotu, the
school had ordered its students to resume for
the second semester on November 25th,
2013, thereby boycotting the nationwide
strik

The University of Lagos has denied that it has
pulled out on the ongoing strike embarked
upon by the Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU).
The strike begun on July 1st, due to the
inability of the Federal Government to execute
an agreement it reached with ASUU in 2009.
According to earlier reports, UNILAG allegedly
fixed a new date for its postponed 2nd
semester examination regardless of the
ongoing strike.
Our correspondent gathered that the strike
started a few days to UNILAG’s second
semester examinations.
The report, our correspondent learnt, was
convincing because UNILAG was part the
universities that voted in favour of the
suspension of the five-month-old strike.
The speculation has it that UNILAG would
commence its outstanding examination for all
students before the Christmas break.
“The proposed exam as reported will be
starting on the 9th of December and end on
the 24th of December. We want to advise all
students of the UNILAG to check it out to
confirm,” an unconfirmed report had earlier
said.
Apart from the speculation on UNILAG, some
universities have reportedly started pulling out
of ASUU strike.
Specifically, Adamawa University has pulled-
out. Adamawa branch of ASUU, was said to
have confronted ASUU national body without
due process.
However, a top management officer in
UNILAG said the university does not have any
plan to pull out of ASUU.
The source said: “We are not pulling out. That
is not possible. UNILAG is one of the
strongest branches of ASUU and we will not
disappoint. We have plans on ground to write
the second semester exam, but that is after the
strike might have been called off.”
When our correspondent visited the university,
there was no sign that examinations will
commence soon.
It was observed that dust and cob-webs have
taken over most of the classes.

Kai God wen strike don almost finish or Na ASUP U WAN talk

After Dem go dey shout.. No commitment.

If it a rumor I think ASUU will have debunked the rumour by now, u can't tell me dey are not aware of this speculations.

There are indications that the Academic Staff
Union of Universities (ASUU) in Nigeria may
end its four-month old strike on Saturday,
November 16.
About 120 chapters of the union have voted in
support of the decision to end the strike at
their various congresses held in their
institutions.
However, the National Executive of the body
has not ratified the decision to end the strike.
A Pro-Chancellor of the University of Benin,
Senator Effiong Bob, urged ASUU to end the
strike in honour of Late Fetus Iyayi, a former
president of the union.
Senator Bob, who was at the residence of the
late professor pointed out that Late Iyayi died
while trying to resolve the issue.
“ASUU Should call of the strike so that both
the union members and students can come and
give him the last respect he deserves during
his funeral,” he said.
Late Iyayi died on Tuesday, November 12, in
an auto crash on his way to Kano for a meeting
of the union.
In a meeting with the leadership of the union,
President Goodluck Jonathan had agreed to
provide 1.1 trillion Naira (about 6.9 billion
dollars) in the next five years and the balance
of 62 billion Naira (about 390 million dollars)
and allowance to each university.
The union had embarked on a nationwide strike
on July 1 suspending all academic activities.

The next move of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) is not yet clear, even
after its zonal chapters have held congress
meetings to deliberate on a new offer from the
federal government. The union’s National
Executive Council (NEC) is expected to hold a
decisive meeting tomorrow to make its final
position known.
Following a marathon meeting with President
Jonathan last week, the ASUU leadership had
briefed the zonal coordinators on the outcome
and consequently directed the local branches to
organise congress meetings to vote for or
against the suspension of the four-month-old
strike.
But reports coming from the Jos chapter of
ASUU yesterday said the lecturers voted in
favour of continuation of the strike on the
grounds that the meeting between the union
and Jonathan did not achieve anything
concrete.
The Jos decision was taken at a referendum
where 194 voted for the strike to be continued
while 80 voted in favour of a suspension.
Those who spoke in favour of the strike to
continue wondered why it should be called off
on the basis of pleas and verbal promises by
the President Jonathan when the government
is allegedly reputed for not honouring
agreements.
LEADERSHIP further gathered that those
rooting for the suspension of the strike spoke
passionately on the need to consider the
impact of the strike on students and the
gesture from Jonathan who met personally
with ASUU leaders and pleaded with them to
suspend the strike.
Dr David Jangkham, chairman of the University
of Jos chapter, after announcing the results of
the voting, said the national body which would
collate the referendum from various chapters
will come up with a stand on whether the
strike would be suspended or sustained.
The ASUU congress, University of Ibadan,
failed to reach a resolution to end the strike.
Although journalists were barred from
covering the congress, feelers have it that
members asked their leadership to commit the
president to signing the resolution of FG/
ASUU meeting held last week and include a
non-victimisation clause so as not to allow any
contentious issue to be generated afterwards
about the agreement.
Also speaking in a solidarity appearance at the
congress, former minister of petroleum Prof.
Tam David West yesterday warned that only
justice in all sectors can stop any form of strike
in Nigeria.
He said, “ASUU will continue to go on strike
as long as there is injustice in the system. I am
not congratulating the president. How can I
commend him for a wasted five months? This
should be condemned. You must sign what
you will implement. I am saying that I will
continue to support ASUU struggles.”
As at the time of filing this report, members of
the ASUU at the Obafemi Awolowo University
(OAU), Ile-Ife, were still holding the chapter’s
congress, but sources close to the union
confirmed that members had already opted for
the suspension of the industrial action.
Similarly, other members of the union from
various other campuses including Ladoke
Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH,
Ogbomoso; Rivers State University of Science
and Technology, RSUST, Port Harcourt; and
Kogi State University, Ayingba, told
LEADERSHIP that they were optimistic that
the strike would be called off on Thursday
after the NEC might have met between
tomorrow evening and Thursday morning.
Meanwhile, arrangements have been concluded
for tomorrow’s crucial NEC meeting of the
ASUU at the Bayero University, Kano, where
the protracted strike embarked upon by the
teachers’ union is expected to be called off.
Investigations by LEADERSHIP revealed that
some of the union’s chapters’ leaders were
already moving to the venue of the meeting as
at yesterday following the conclusion of their
congresses earlier in the day.
The chairman of the University of Lagos,
UNILAG, chapter of the union, Dr Oghenekaro
Ogbinaka, told LEADERSHIP that he was
already on his way to Kano when the
newspaper called to know the outcome of the
chapter’s congress.
But efforts to speak to the chairman of the
NEC’s host university, Dr A. Baffa, was
unsuccessful as calls put through to his mobile
line were unanswered.
Incidentally, some university students are
already getting set to return to campuses and
have appealed to ASUU not to dampen their
spirits. Some students, however, said that the
timing of the suspension could pose a
challenge.
One of the students who sought anonymity
said, “I’ll be glad if the strike is called off,
because it is long overdue but there might be a
problem with the timing. There is every
possibility that once we get back to school,
we’d be rushed through the first semester and
might find ourselves writing exams when we
are hardly prepared for it.”
Another student said, “Many of us, the affected
students, have not been idle during this
period. We have projects already in motion
that would be abruptly cut short if we are
called back to school now. It won’t be a very
bad idea if we start the academic year on a
fresh page in January.”
A 300-level student also said that academic
performances of students might suffer. She
said, “Many students have become very distant
from their books and, since exams might be
looming almost immediately after resumption,
we might not have enough time to reconcile
ourselves with our academic level before the
strike.” http://leadership.ng/news/121113/confusion-trails-ASUU-s-move-suspend-strike-0

Lecturers at the University of Jos have voted
for continuation of the on-going strike by the
Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) in
the country.
Chairman of the chapter, Dr. David Jankam
who made this known on Monday while
speaking with THE NATION shortly after the
congress of the chapter said members did not
see any substance in the dialogue with the
federal government to warrant calling off the
strike.
According to Dr Jankam, “We have just
rounded off our meeting, as a matter of fact
our members voted overwhelmingly for the
continuation of the state strike.
“I can also confirm to you that five of the eight
universities that made up the Bauchi Zone of
ASUU has also voted for continuation of the
strike, and the general saying is that the
federal government has not shown any
commitment so far.
“We started the meeting by briefing our
members on issues resolved with the federal
government in their last meeting with the
president of ASUU.
“But in responding to the briefing, our
members observed that the main issues that led
to the strike were not discussed as part of the
meeting in Aso Rock.
“As such my members said president Jonathan
is taking them for a ride by trying to divert
attention from the core subjects of the strike”
According to Dr. Jankam, “I will now convey
the resolve of our branch to our national
president in our NEC meeting scheduled for
this week. If the majority of the chapter voted
for call off, it will ne called off, but if majority
of chapters voted for continuation, so be it”

The strike by Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) may end on or before
15th November,2013 if feelers from the
union’s zonal congresses are anything to go by.
Journalists gathered from reliable sources that
the national leadership had briefed the zonal
chapters of the union on the outcome of the
recent meeting with President Goodluck
Jonathan.
A source close to the leadership told
journalists in Zaria yesterday that “The zonal
congresses where held on Wednesday 6th
November, 2013. For example, the Kano Zone
meeting was held at the Ahmadu Bello
University (ABU) Zaria.
“At the end of the meeting the body language
of ASUU chairmen that make up the zone and
attended the meeting indicated that they may
accept the offer of the president, but you
know this depends on the outcome of the
congresses of the various universities that make
up each zone.
“All the universities in Nigeria that are
participating in the strike will now hold their
individual congresses on Monday, 11th
November,2013 to brief their lecturers on
what the president has offered. If majority of
the lecturers in every university agree to accept
the offer of the federal government, it means
that the national leadership of ASUU will call
off the strike on or before Friday, 15th
November,2013 as all the results of the
congresses would have been collated latest by
Wednesday.
“We are optimistic but it depends on the
decision that individual lecturers would make,”
the source said.

Muhammad Kabir Aliyu, confirmed that ABU

The Academic Staff Union of Nigerian
Universities (ASUU) will hold a referendum
on Monday where lecturers will deliberate on
the outcome of the meeting with President
Jonathan and ASUU leadership.
The lecturers are expected to vote on whether
to continue with the strike action or return to
lecture halls.
Invitations have reportedly been sent out by
the local chapters of ASUU to their members
seeking their attendance in order for them to
participate in the important meeting that bears
on the destinies of tertiary students who have
been out of school for the past five months.
Since the 13 hour marathon meeting ASUU
had with President Jonathan earlier this week,
it has been expected that the leadership of the
Union would soon call of the strike. Source the herald..

He only made prayers for the Nigerian universities to reopen again his words where full of proverbs that day he didn't mention week or months..

The University of Jos chapter of
the Academic Staff Union of
University (ASUU) has said it
will not surrender, even if the receives the
directive of the National President of the
Union.
Dr. David Janakam, the Chairman of the
UNIJOS chapter, stated this in an interview in
the capital city of Plateau State - Jos.
"The National President of ASUU cannot ask
us to call off just because the Union has met
with Mr. President. We don't operate that
way. Whatever agreement reached between the
national body and Mr. President will be a
subject of discussion at local branches.
"We can only call it off when the local
branches give their acceptance to whatever
agreement reached with the Federal
Government in their last meeting with
President Jonathan.
Dr. Janakam said ASUU members have lost
confidence in the Federal Government when it
comes to agreement based on the lesson learnt
from the current strike adding that the
minutes of the last meeting with President
Jonathan will be critically reviewed.
"If the local branches do not see any
seriousness in the contents of that meeting, we
will let our national body know of our opinion
accordingly. If our response is positive, only
then the national body can announce that we
have agreed to resume classes.
"So, as far as this strike is concerned, it is the
members of ASUU nationwide that can
determine the end of the strike, not the
National President. Leaders of various chapters
of ASUU cannot take decision on behalf of
their members in this case. It is the members
themselves that should say it is time to call
off. So it is not a leadership thing" said Dr.
Jankam.
"I'm just coming back from Abuja where that
National President and zonal chairmen briefed
us chairmen of local chapters on their dialogue
with Mr. President. Back home we will
converge in our congress to discuss the issues.
Whatever resolution reached in our congress
will be made known to our national body.
"This is going to be the processes for calling
off of this strike. That was why I said this
strike cannot be called off with directive of
ASUU President. It has to be the other way
round".
He said the congress of the UNIJOS ASUU
chapter has been scheduled for Monday next
week. Source naij. Com
