It does not affect lecturers at all.
They can tell you it affects them but the truth is it doesn't affect them. The benefits to them outweigh any effect for those of them that still have children in Nigeria.
How does it benefits them?
They collect salaries for the months they didn't work for.
They have enough time to do research because there are no classes.
They make money from teaching in other schools or other businesses.
The graduate students among them on Msc or PhD have enough time to do their PhD and MSc research.
ASUU is another criminal in university system
I can feel your passion, but believe it or not, the Lecturers a badly hit, by the strike action. More than you can ever imagine.

1. The get their salaries after the strike, but during the strike action the struggle to feed themselves and their family. That is simply true

2. Doing research as well as community service is part of the Job. Teaching is just 33% of their work. So what is wrong with that?

3. It's a huge lie that they're attending to MSc and PhDs. On empty stomach, can't pay children's school fees or even rent, yet you attend to PG students? Na craze? Remember not all Lecturers are members of ASUU. Don't misrepresent it.

4. Less than 45% of Lecturers in public universities have PhDs and rank from Senior Lecturer and above. Those are the bracket that qualify to teach, if opportuned, in private universities. So over 60%, are suffering.

5. From 4 above, over 55% of Lecturers are either MSc or PhD students. Their promotion is tied to completion of their program so they are stagnated as well.

Stop thinking they're not affected. It's just a necessary sacrifice that they're making.

ASUU should go and sit down

How much do they inject into the nigerian economy

They should be ashamed of themselves that britain does not recognize nigerian graduates

Can we produce paracetamol? Yet we have professors of pharmacy who wants more money

Graduates of computer science cannot even write a simple computer program

ASUU failed nigeria more than the politicians
You want ASUU to inject money into the economy? Or are you saying university education doesn't bring in ROI (as stated by Nwajuba)? Do you what human capital development is? No need. But know it today, that money you refuse to commit in funding education of today would be used to fight poverty and insecurity that would arise from same, tomorrow.

Stop embarrassing yourself with "Britain does not recognize Nigeria graduates" thing. Britain want First class and 2nd class upper students from UNIVERSITIES THAT ARE RANKED FROM 50 ABOVE. NO NIGERIA UNIVERSITY RANKS AMONGST 1000 globally. Which is what ASUU is fighting for.

So if you are a Nigerian student in the 50th plus ranked universities, you will qualify.

Nigerian academics have done more than produce paracetamol. The difference is that they sell the patent to other countries since there's no enabling environment for production in Nigeria.

Recently (2weeks ago) a Nigerian has developed an Antibiotic is one of the best globally. Use Google to confirm b4 you doubt it.

The politicians are the ones finishing Nigeria. That's the truth.

Well, it's good you explained yourself so that we can easily know those who are already running mad.

Thank you so much for doing that.

Please if you don't mind, I will also like you to explain this line I bolded because I don't really understand what you are trying to say there.

Or is it that same madness of yours trying to get ahead of you?
grin

You seem to enjoy talking to a lunatic and intend knowing more from that same lunatic.

You must be one too.

You have nothing to say, go home and reminisce about the evils deeds you are all doing to damage the future of education in Nigeria.

ASSU is trying to so hard to prove their relevance.

But even if the strike is called off and their demands are met completely, they still have nothing to offer.

Low IQ lecturers reading textbooks word for word and professors with 1956 trends in their brain, they can't even impact useful knowledge, people still go abroad to acquire knowledge that could be impacted here.

But what do I know, I am just a student being tutored by unqualified lecturers. Query them about their flaws and mistakes, they will find a way to blame the Government, they are like women, they never take responsibility for their actions.

They should go on for as long as they want to, a time will come and they will become irrelevant.

Useless set of Educated People.
Hmmm. What goes around comes around. It's a matter of time, same thing would be said of you.

FORGET ABOUT ASUU AND READ ME
The strike has prevented me from moving forward. Rather than being at school learning, all I do is stay at home, wake, sleep, and engage myself in issues that are none of my business in the first place, so i change my mine to search for a scholarship on the following site. try your luck is genuine.

If 20,000 students make a trip to the campus by public transport with an average of N200 daily, that's N4m.
If 20,000 students eat lunch at school at N200 daily, that's another N4m.
If 20,000 students photocopy 20 pages of document at N10 each daily, that's another N4m

By this, just 20,000 students inject N12m daily to the local economy.
During 3 months of strike, N1.08bn is lost by transporters, food vendors, business centres.etc.
Expand this to the actual number of students in the Universities in the country.

BUT WHO CARES?

Why will 20,000 (about the total population of students in some of the most populous universities in the country) photocopy 20 documents each day?!

Maybe it shows the quality of what you are teaching them mr. Professor. They prefer to photocopy notes than to attend classes.
.
Mr. Professor, go and sit down, you are part of those that rigged the system for spoilage. Enjoy what you served.
Why u Dey try prove somebody wrong now?

No it also affects indirect jobs, bussinesses.. like transporters, canteen/ restaurant bussiness, computer services, photo copy centres, provision stores, fast foods, book shops, stationery materials sellers, drinking joints, recharge card sellers around the university premises, area and environments

Others would be the judge of your cruelty and selfishness, not you.

If what you are saying is the right thing, you don't have a reason to worry na. When the time comes people will judge you like you've judged others.

Even the good and the best are being judged too.

It all matters if you favour the majority, I can't be like that union that attempts strike every year and still they would rig elections for the corrupt after collecting bribes then they would go on strike after failed promises from the government/fool they rigged elections for.

Who is the victim of all these nonsense, it's The Students, very soon it will get to you lecturers, we won't suffer alone, we can all see how our graduates are drastically losing international relevance.

I am sure the government are to be blamed too.

Shallow IQ. Before you critic, do a little deep thinking. The numbers are a conservative average. One student can photocopy ONE textbook that is more than 200 pages a day. That is not handout, seminar, assignment or PowerPoint slides for presentations. There are departments with over 3000-4000 students in schools with over 20-30 departments (conservatively). That's over 60k - 120k students as against the 20k he mentioned. So what he did is an average estimation. No dey rush to criticize wetin you no understand, sir.
Again I repeat why should over 20000 students about the whole population of a school photocopy 20 documents everyday?? you mean in the university you attended, all of you photocopies about 100 pages of documents per week and 400 pages per month?? as in all of you?! Then I am sorry you did not attend a university sir, you should start the litigation process to reclaim your money.
.
Photocopying textbooks, notes, unnecessary pages, especially in this modern age and you are trying to defend such mediocrity of over 400 pages per month from each student...and that sounds wise?!!!
.
Well Unilorin gave us tablets back then and except you are very truant you wouldnt need to photocopy more than 40 pages per month on average for each student.
.
If reverse is the case, then these professors don't deserve to get paid cux they are part of those spoiling the system. And I don't care if you or your are a prof. #peace

It can't be everyday but almost everyday.

Let's get practical:
Imagine students offering 10 courses.Each course has about 10 topics.That is 100 topics in all.100 topics to be photocopied throughout the semester.
Several assignments too will need to be printed all through.
The part of your reply I boldened says it all. I don't wanna type twice sir. Here is the reply I recently sent to someone.

Where are you getting your data from?
Did I mention 400pages per month??

You don't understand and I'm not ready to dive deeper.

But then, students don't photocopy documents per day.
Some rely on PDFs, some will snap their colleagues materials.So you are right to an extent.
