It is true this man just speaks to impress his audience. How can you be speaking and be contradicting yourself?

1. You said you will adopt contractionary monetary policy thereby reducing money in circulation. This policy is adopted in an economy whereby inflation is caused by too much money in circulation. Example, increase in the purchasing power of the masses which leads to increase in demand and consequent increase in price of goods and services. It is a policy which is adopted in a period of economic prosperity (when people earn more money) in order to curb inflation.

In our own case here, Nigeria is not producing enough for its consumption and people's purchasing power is low. The major cause of the current inflation is high cost of production/importation not a rise in demand.

The obvious thing for a reasonable government is to encourage local production. Fix power issue, fix secury challenges and improve infrastructure; also make fund available for local farmers and SME's.

2. He stated that SME' s will be encouraged. How do you encourage them other than making fund easily accessible to them? With your contractionary monetary policy whereby interest rate is increased and lending is made more difficult, how do you encourage the survival of SME's?

You made my day!!!
What an intelligent contribution!!! Unfortunately, Nigerians are too daft to know that the man did not communicate sense!!!
He's a mere orator!!!

tegrianonigltd:
Where councilor Dey earn like professor, concerned Nigerian indeed, go read up how Ghana is transforming their educational sector.

lailo:
If u really mean what u wrote up there o,then ur vote should be for Sowore. Bcs Obi, Tinubu and Atiku are all same and old generation politicians with similar or slightly different caucuses.

Bugatie:
Wasting tax payers money on needless trips.

A case of spoilt adults without any decency fighting in the public, so sad this is what leadership has been reduced to in Nigeria.

Must they jet out to London to meet?

Please vote Peter Obi for, let’s save this country for the next generation!

dante0147:
That's why I tell people this man doesn't have the experience.... To even to make matters worse with the current situation the county is in right now I don't think this guy can do shit my fear is he will end up like Buhari too...

Amerengues2:
You retained your best graduating students years back only to be paying your first class graduates 105-120k when their counterparts in other firms are earning 400k+ and their mates abroad are earning £2800 monthly.

The resignation just started!

From Independence till now, we've produced over 80k medical doctors. Presently, we have about 12,500 (9k in federal hospital and 3k in state and private). The rate of adverts for nurses and doctors in Nigeria has increased- none wants to work but rather on their way to UK. By the time it dawns on government, young doctors here will be treating ailments older than them.

PROFS and PhD are not easily replaceable since there is a little to no number of profs or Dr. that aren't in the academic sector already.

Can you send your kids to public primary or secondary school? You would rather send them to private school and pay huge amount just because Government failed in funding public schools.

We shall see!

He who sleeps with an itching bumbum must surely wake up with a smelling finger.

AK481:
Lie, if you went to university, which I doubt .

What kind of people from your set did they recruit? Is it not those who did better than you academically?

Gkemz:
It's easier for a donkey to pass through a thread than for a Nigerian lecturer to resign. It's like Tinubu stepping down from the presidential race or Buhari stepping down from Aso rock during his first tenure.

satandeterrible:
Tinubu is an old, senile, crooked, corrupt thief and will never smell the presidency.

Peter Obi 2023!!!

siatee4me:
And yet some young people are still campaigning for APC. What a shame Ur mumu never do??
It's only a man like OBI that can take us from the mess.

Amerengues2:
There won't be need for back-and-forth, but just know that Nigeria lecturers are the least paid in Africa, and by extension, to the world.

NigeriaB:
Politics is not easy my brother.. atleast the lecturers can sleep with their two eyes closed but politicians cannot because they are always involved in one dirty thing or the other..

Any way, the lecturers can as well join politics. They are not forbidden in politics na..

rusher14:
I pray you travel out to see college professors. They are never rich unless they own patents or are actively involved in consultancy of some sort.

Go online and look for short-term contract roles in UK or US and sewe how much they are advertised for.

If people are sincere, they'll know this is true.

Originalsly:
Are salaries based on academic qualifications? ... or on job position? Should Buhari as President be paid less than Osinbajo the Vice President... because he is less qualified? We are really blinded by certifications.... the reason soooo many try to be a graduate ... by hook or by crook. Not a graduate?... then you are a nobody... an illiterate ... useless. The professor applied for the less paying job.... why are we batching? Politicians regardless of party.... vote for salary and bonus increases all the time .... and we continue to vote the same people in.... so again.... why are we bitching?

rusher14:
The role is temporary, has its own attendant risk and it is governmental.

Everywhere in the world, such roles pay more because they ate short termed.

smileyoo:
though it tempting to believe that salary increase will do wonders to the workforce, by the reason of rapid increase in prices of goods and services, but it's a fallacy, because without addressing the root cause of the price increase, inflation may still swallow the salary increase.
why can't the NLC agitate for an end to official corruption in government ?
why can't NLC agitate for the building of new refineries, and an end to the importation of pms ?
why can't NLC agitate for an end to medical tourism by government officials ?
why can't NLC agitate for a free and compulsory education, to every Nigerian citizens ?
why can't NLC agitate for a workers friendly government, by taking over the government through their support of labour party in 2023 elections ?
it's time NLC think beyond salary increase and agitate for a workable social system.

iiifedimma:
Please let's support honourable Peter obi for the president's of federal Republic of Nigeria, we are tired of those thief's now,

Without a tribalism and nepotism any sane Nigerian know it's only someone like Peter obi that can now rescue Nigeria from total collapsing, but seriously some ethnic bigot people will just still prefer to hav their own man at the affairs of the country either he is capable or not than to go for what could have been the best solution to all nigerian's current problems, #ObiDatti2023 is certain

ybn:
Unfortunately, salaries are fixed in Nigeria arbitrarily, without recourse to those indices you listed. No true federalism, hence difficult to separate salaries of state and federal universities. The current salary was also negotiated and signed in 2009 for public universities. It is just the minimum that can be paid.

kingi777:
Both federal and state governments are busy building universities to massage their ego of building projects in their constituencies but are not ready to back it up with funding. It's in Nigeria that Lecturers are under payed compared to their counterpart in other countries. Most of the universities lack Lecturers to man the programmes; lack infrastructure befitting of a university etc. Some states are even building 2 universities they cannot truly manage but depending on TETFUND.

seunmsg:
Nobody is fighting for anybody in this country. Everyone is fighting for his or her interest. ASUU will always be a problem irrespective of who is president or which party is in office.

There are only two solutions to the ASUU problem:
1. FG should completely stop funding university education. Parents should be made to pay what is commensurate for the university education they want for their kids.

2. Government should scrap National ASUU completely. Each university should have an independent union to address local issues peculiar only to the university. Even if it’s going to take prolong strike and mass sacking to achieve this, it is worth the trouble.

There is no easy solution to the ASUU problem. FG need to make a tough, painful and firm decision on the union. Pandering to the union every time by signing crazy agreements that can’t be implemented has never worked and will never worked. It’s better to disrupt the system once and for all.

Paulheyman:
If you can't afford a private university, ASUU is fighting for you.

If you're a hater of covenant, Madonna, landmark, KDUM, Tansian and other high fee universities then ASUU is fighting for you.

If you still want your children to benefit from good academics then ASUU is fighting for you.

If you still want your certificate to be valid and used to process your documents to Japa out of this country then ASUU is fighting for you (Remember Abia state polytechnic).

If you want to see Nigeria progress then ASUU is fighting for you.

The university is the last of our public school system left to be conquered by the political elites. They came for the primary schools we applauded them, after all primary education doesn't matter, private primary schools can do the job, then they came for the secondary education, we still left them to destroy it, the effect is examination malpractice. Lastly, they are targeting the peak of our education and people are blaming the defenders and not the offenders. If the government destroys our public universities then education will only be limited to the elites and those who intend to leave naija using their certificates will be stock cos your certificate won't be acceptable in any country.

Confucius said "when workers are paid well they're motivated to work well"

How much do you pay primary school teachers, how much do you pay secondary school teachers. You pay a teacher #10k in private school and you expect him to do wonders.

Those backing the government don't know that they are promoting illiteracy and backwardness. Most countries don't value our certificates. I wonder want becomes of you after studying medicine, nursings, engineering, physics, chemistry etc and you are told that your certificate is not recognize abroad then you'll understand what you've opted to defend. What of those doing PhD and MSc just to finish and be informed that you can't go beyond Nigeria with your PG certificate. God forbid

If ASUU perish we all perish

Stay blessed

Stop saying nonsense please. ASUU is fighting for his selfish interest.
If not that we have useless corrupt government officials, you cannot leave your job for more than 5 months and still expected to be paid.
Unfortunately, ASUU is still among the most privileged people in Nigeria.
ASUU out of their selfsh interest increased retirement age from 65 to 70 through the instrumentality of strike in a country where more than 70% of the population is youth with gross unemployment. What a useless union.

Its only in Nigeria use the dean's of faculties having 2 official cars and vice chancellors living like a king.
Dean's of faculties and vice chancellors I have been privileged to meet in better countries drive themselves with nothing like official car.
Unfortunately, the useless people want to be as corrupt as politicians.
University education is over subsidized in Nigeria. You pay more 700, 000 per annum as school fees in just south Africa.
The solution is simple, let the university education be deregulated and each university determines what it will pay each lecturer, and the students should pay actual cost of university education. Government should provide scholarships to indigent students with GP of 2:2 and above, while students below that but indigent should be placed on interest free loans.

muykem:
I laughed in Swali. Osun will soon know what befall them. You need to be extra intelligent and Conservative to near Oyetola performance.

Reasonable4me:
Let's stop being enemies of our own progress. Why would you wish his government to be bad just to prove a point of why you were against his candidacy?

If your candidate wins an election against mine, I will only wish that you were right about him being good so that we can all share the goods of the land.

Likewise mine too. Please, please please. Search your conscience and be a good human being first

BATified2023:
what about the all Christian tickets in all south east states

U can see nobody make noise about Christian Christian ticket in osun

It’s obvious u people are d problem

Obidient4life2:
2023 all Nigerias will erupt in such joy when Obi is announced winner of presidential election.

Obidient4life2:
How much is our Senators earning and how much is American senators earning?

lawrenzooo:
Thank God it was the federal government committee that made the recommendation and not ASUU demanding for 2 million. Am not sure our government value our education that much to want to Pay a prof. Over $3000 per month.

Am sure salary and payment issue were not the only thing in the report. They should stop making it look as though salary and allowances are the only thing ASUU is fighting for there are other issues as well.

If some of the terms on that report is not workable what happens to renegotiating and working out the workable ones?

Summarily : Our leaders are not yet ready to upgrade our education system.
Hopefully Nigerians make the right choice next election.
If the content of the proposal is actually true, then ASUU is indeed a very selfish organisation.
It's not done anywhere.
In developed countries, lecturers are not paid the same salaries, each university pays it's Lecturers based on their income generating power, ability of the lecturers to generate funds for the university.
So, proposing such huge amount as monthly salary only expose them as thieves as their counterparts in politics. You think amount is sustainable given the economic realities in Nigeria.
How many state governments can pay half of the proposal conveniently. None, not even Lagos.
You cannot be comparing US with Nigeria, what's the living expenses in Osun state and living expenses in Ohio, what's the state of infrastructure in Osun state and Ohio.
If there's anything the government need to massively invest into, it's infrastructure in all sectors of the economy because the country is still much backward infrastructure wise, not recurrent expenditure.
Remove sentiment, if you become governor or president today, you cannot pay that amount to anyone except you want to throw your state into chaos

Sergio101:
But better under Atiku bah??

Beside it's our burden to bear if it comes to that.

Baba agbado gave us Buhari and we beard the burden.

So all this Côck and bull story doesn't add.

Btw..... Why's every News about the recreant boisterous Reno hitting front page??.....Seun reason am.

TruthSocialAPP:
Obi's movement is beyond tribe. Same way people showed Buhari love in 2015. Quit that IPOB nonsense. Buhari, a failed president who is clueless. Someone doesn't know how to curb or stop IPOB craziness.

Daddyyin:
Dindinrin, since Anambra is better than Kigali, tell all your obituaries to relocate there and enjoy the “foundation” your god, Obi laid

Daddyyin:
I don’t know why people are blaming Tinubu for everything. How can a man who holds no political post order the Nigeria Army to shoot the protesters? The blame has been on him as if he’s the Nigeria President. Well, he’s going to rule our great country, all eyes will see and attest to his competency the same way he has been doing in Lagos by promoting good governance. BAT is a big asset to this great nation
