But National Assembly Members Keep Enjoying Fat Salary And Robust Allowance.

But it's easier to increase lawmakers' salaries.

But it is not difficult to increase your own salary and allowances. Selfish people

SugarGirl44:
But it's easy for useless politicians to collect hundreds of millions yearly for doing nothing.
Also easy for them to share new cars to them and collect househelp allowance.
One day sha, sleeping Nigerians will wake up.

The lecturers are free to b politicians to

True talk. Nigeria is in a precarious situation, it's citizens are relatively poor which implies that you cannot hike school fees to say 700k per session. If students don't pay that type of fee in 2022, how do they expect government to pay reasonable salaries to lecturers, buy lab equipments and so on.

Universities don't generate enough income to run itself, they rely on government to provide everything for them, it's really weird. Universities should be wholly sufficient and be a revenue generator for government not vice versa.

Corruption has destroyed the destiny of Nigeria, people just don't understand why this country keeps getting worse.

Stop talking nonsense. No matter the tuition that is paid, no university can generate enough money to run itself. Even in the US where heavy tuition is paid, both states and the Federal government fund public universities.

What if Ngige and other political leaders in Nigeria would also earn meagre salaries as common civil servants?

Over 80% of ASU demands are personal. Majority of these lecturers add little or no value to education sector and their earnings is far above their inputs

This ASUU strike go long ehhn. I heard Non-teaching staffs are also warming up for their own strike.

But lawmakers get paid per sitting and end of month x1000% of uni lecturers. I love my country.
When you don't value teachers, they'll go to countries that value them and what's left are duds.
Fantabulous.
Extend that to health workers and engineers.
One of the best nurses I know left the country last week. That's a big blow.

See how buhari just turn pple that nigerians respect so much to something else, before I have respect for diz ngige before, but now I see him like any other politicians in Nigeria

If I give you a break down of ASUU's salary, you will reconsider your stance. If I give you a break down of ASUU's demands, you will pity Nigerian students! You know how much is paid to publish in high ranking journals? Attend conferences home and abroad? Tetfund is trying with research grants but nothing close to what is needed. So many students in poorly lit, poorly ventilated lecture rooms...After going through all the wahala of PhD, is it too much to demand that one is paid close to what a ward councillor earns?

Most of you don't know why someone working with let's say NNPC or NCC earns more than someone working with Ministry of Petroleum or Universities. Salaries and Wages Commission has criteria they use in setting Salaries for different agencies of government. Revenue Generating Agencies (Also known as Category A Agencies) earn more than Category B and C agencies. I believe that's What the Minister is trying to make them understand.

The thing is, the government does not have the money to implement the 2009 agreement, or even to pay for any increases that arise out of 'renegotiation'.

At the end of the day, fees go up, or taxes go up.

You guys will never speak for Teachers in both Primary and Secondary school but for selfish ASU that add very little to education sector. Untill our government treat the teachers very well, the demands of the ASU will remain unjustifiable

U will not see that vulture BBQ NLPOLICEWOMAN In post like this that affect Nigerian education, but later he will be saying God bless Nigeria,how can he bless us with leaders that will have now, and since 2009 they have not increase anything.

But its very easy to increase students tuition fee.
Nonsense!

Believe him at your own peril, is this how they planned to lift 20 million out of poverty Ordinary salary increment dey are running upandan

Let's do a quick arithmetic. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

When I was in school; a top tier federal university, the average number of students in each class was 120.

That's 120 X 4 = 480 students.
School fees was roughly 60 000.
480 X 60,000= 28,800,000

We had MSC students, with an average of 30 for each of the two classes.
That's 30 X 2 = 60 students
School fees was 100,000
60 X 100,000 = 6,000,000

There was the part time programme that had an average of 150 students for each of the 5 classes.
150 X 5 = 750 students
School fees was 75,000
75000 X 750 = 56,250,000

There was the 2yr diploma programme too. Here you may find 50 students for each of the 2 classes.
50 X 2= 100 students
School fees was 40,000
40,000 X 100 = 4,000,000

The above gives roughly 100,000,000 in annual school fees.

The above is just the basics. I'm not even accounting for Sandwich, PreScience PhD etc.

For a department with roughly 20 lecturer with, perhaps 2 professors.
Let's peg the average salary at 250,000.

That's 5,000,000 for salary each month.
60,000,000 in salary for a year.

Mind you, this same dept generated over 100m from fees in the same year. Thereby leaving the dept with over 50m after paying school fees.

There are tens of departments in a Federal university.

If we are to multiply the 50m by 50 departments, this leaves the university with 2.5b yearly.

Mind you, apart from the science courses who may need to get lab equipments, other departments basically only spend on salaries.

Does national assembly generate income for the govt? If they know how they generate income for their salaries they should as well do so for lecturers

You dey mind them
