Shoodboi:


You still aren't making a point. Why is ASUU fighting? What agreements did they have with the previous and current governments? And how have both sides fulfilled their ends of the agreement?

That's the issue. The relationship between ASUU and the FG has gone beyond normal Employer-employee relationship, if it ever was, that is. Unions go up against their private employers if need be, not to talk of the government.

Ohhhhhhhh ever demanding ASUU

Raymondfayowole:


"To Advert" Why is the FG always reacting and not proactive. Why wait for strike to start before acting? We are here talking about 2009 agreement with so many reviews and revisions from past administration still yet, nothing to show for it. Budget for the year came with the minimum wage, why was it hard to implement? How come nothing about the accountant general came up in your writeup?

The government were making plans to release funds, and they released some funds 6 months ago...

ASUU just want this UTAS platform by fire by force

Jung:


Apparently you don't know what ASUU is fighting for. Probably you are a student and you are only interested in going to school and finishing on time.

If you don't know, the little benefits you're getting from the university system was gotten via struggle by ASUU

No lecturer is earning up to 500k as salary. Most are paid less than 200k and have been earning the same salary for more than 15 years since 2008.

No good labs, no good structures, no good hostels. No funding to do anything worthwhile in the schools, yet they keep creating more.

If you don't have anything meaningful to contribute other than ranting like a selfish ignoramus, stfu and let them fight for what they deserve.

There are mothers, fathers, breadwinners, etc who are lecturers. How do you think they take care of their families? You just open your phone and type nonsense that you know absolutely nothing about, with your badly constructed sentences.

Don't be a Buffoon creating threads to antagonize you know nothing about.

I am okay with ASUU fighting for increased salary.


But since the beginning of this strike UTAS has been the main demands of ASUU.

ASUU president have said NO UTAS, NO Resumption!

You are not getting it.

The main reason why we are home is because of a payment platform which was designed by ASUU

"IPPIS was introduced to serve the purpose of centralized payment of all civil servants in the employment of the Federal Government"

Are ASUU saying the educational sector is higher than other important sectors like finance, military, health?

Leave my badly constructed sentences out of this...

Jung:


36 billion was not salary arrears, Buffoon. Go back and read what was paid. And it was never part of the negotiations with the government.

Is this who wants to finish with a first class? Ha, God... Uniben is finished.

The 36 billion was for minimum wage arrears.

Let's not forget to mention that the government paid over 50 Billion in tbe month of December to avert this year's strike + they were making other plans before ASUU declared strike.

If the issue was about money, we will have resumed since a long time back. I watched the press conference on NTA (2 months ago) where ASUU chairman and Minister of labour argued about everything. At the end of day, ASUU chairman kept emphasizing on UTAS

The issue is not about money
FG has money to disburse...



ASUU wants UTAS by all means

Because you people are only thinking about yourselves.

Ikennablue:
instead of attacking the subject of discussion, or correcting the OP, you insulted him and still provide nothing tangible on the subject and still claim to be learned and informed.

Are they striking because they need salary increment or because of the UTAS system of payment??

They are barely talking about the salary increment. It's UTAS they keep talking about

edogu:

Under President Goodluck administration, there was two platforms for payment- IPPIS and GIFMIS. The later allowed the university to operate without any unnecessary intervention from the government. However, under the President Buhari's administration, the university staff were forced to ditch the GIFMIS and adopt IPPIS. Unfortnately, the IPPIS does not give the university the freedom to operate. Things like sabbatical leave which was recognised by NUC was not recognised by the system.
The university system operates a different calendar system while IPPIS calendar operates from January to December.
For instance, the university usually start their appraisal by May. Appraisal for academics are three or four stages. Departmental, faculty and by the University Vice Chancellor. However, if you are going for professorial cadre your papers need to be sent out for external assessment. By the time these appraisals must have been concluded, the university calendar must have been over. Unfortunately, IPPIS doesn't capture arrears outside this calendar especially if it has exceeded three months.
Also where there's urgent need to engage lecturers especially professors for accreditation, university may need to write IPPIS for approval which sometimes takes long before it happens.
As for the 36 billion, the money was meant to take care of the minimum wage arrears which was approved in 2019. Mind you the money was meant also for polytechnics, colleges of education and not just the university community yet not every university staff has seen theirs.
There are many more but let me stop here for now.

Okay...

ASUU should fight for all of that they find befitting to them.

You mentioned something about sabbatical leave as directed by the NUC. ASUU can fight for that

ASUU can also fight for arrears outside the school calendar, and many more.

All of it is acheivable.

Call me a buffoon, but I really do not support the idea of an employer dictating their method of payments to their employee.

fernandoc:
It’s obvious the person who wrote this was born during the second coming of Buhari. What nonsense.

And when were you born "Ancient of days"

I didn't reply you with the intention to insult you. I replied you so you can understand that we once had two payment platforms created to suit the uniqueness of the university community.

You don't force people to adopt platforms that are inimical to their welfare and productivity. What makes you think other government agencies/ministries are okay with the platform. I know a friend, a prison warder, who has been complaining about the platform.

Before ASUU rejected the IPPIS platforms, they enquired thoroughly about it. For your information, it was actually some of their colleagues in police force that advised the union not to do so. The non teaching staff who enrolled into the platform are already regretting.

Sorry I am not getting something...

Aside from the added benefits of salary arrears outside of the school calendar, Staff not getting sabbatical leaves, etc.

Is the IPPIS platform reducing monthly allowance? Is it affecting the speed of disbursement of allowance?

Why the call for this endless strike (It's looking like we are going to rollover the strike until next year)

Please I don't understand why you people choose to punish us like this...

Because at the end of the day; you know, and I know that ASUU will still get paid for all this months of "Endless Vacation" not Strike. And it's we the students that will be on the loosing end, and will be rushed like someone going to Russia

HaryaorGirl:
ASUU went on strike on February 14, putting an halt to all academic activities since the past 4 months because of an agreement made in the year 2009

Agreement should be honored (I agree)

But from my calculations, Late Musa Yard Adua was president when they made this agreement, in which Fmr president Good luck Jonathan was Vice president

Vice president Good luck Jonathan went on to succeed Yar Adua after his death....

My question is why did ASUU not push their core demands when we had a PHD holder as president?

Why did they not go on endless strike when we had someone that's well vast educationally?

Why did ASUU wait until 13 years after before pushing for their demands to be heard?

What happened to going on this endless strike when President Muhammad Buhari was running for 2nd term?


What makes them think the government will priotize their demands when they clearly have nothing to lose or gain from their endless strike?

So far the government has paid them 36 billion for their salary arrears, and have promised to look into revisitation of the Nigeria university so it can be of high standards when compared to international Universities.

The government "which has nothing to lose" has tried enough. Why has ASUU not call off the strike? They want UTAS!

Why will an employer be dictating their means of payment to their employee? (It does not make any sense as far as they are not been underpaid)

The government is paying the engineering, health, military, and other sectors through the IPPIS, and nobody is complaining except ASUU

Will talk about UTAS and why ASUU want it so badly in my next post...

God bless you. All your points are valid.

Do you know you are suffering from NPD? Despite the detailed explanation edogu gave, you still couldn't get the memo...

HaryaorGirl:


ASUU went on 6 months strike in the year 2013 during Jonathan's time if I'm not mistaken.

That is 4 years after the agreement was made

Why did they not stick with the idea of this endless strike back then?

Why is ASUU punishing poor Nigeria students because of a stupid agreement made in 2009 (Since you want to be insultive)

Your analogy is very embarrassing.

You don't even know what ASUU is fighting for, nor the benefits of UTAS or that the same IPPIS platform was used by that old fraud who took off 80billion naira from IPPIS users.

Get a lecturer to explain to you what they are fighting for..ok?

Your own is to graduate and I feel your pain but this fight does not affect you alone....

Ikennablue:

You should be asking yourself that question, going to the web to check for the answers, then come back here and type.

The renegotiation document is online. I strongly advise you go and read it. But since it's not about boobs or ass, I doubt you know what it looks like.

There are different things ASUU negotiated for which govt agreed to. Salary and UTAS are just some of those demands. Go check am.

My dear, your anger is understandable, but blame your govt. If the govt gave lecturers what they want, do you think they'll be strike? No.

You keep saying employees cannot dictate for employers. That's a big fat lie. The reason why workers' unions came into being is exactly because they want to have a say over how and when they are paid, as well as how much they are paid. So drop that narrative that they don't have any rights. It's only in Nigeria that workers don't have rights.

You're not really bright. No offense meant.

Before bringing this child's play of a post here, you should have done your homework and get the full crux of the matter so as to arm yourself with enough knowledge of what the issues were, what has been done so far by both parties and what is expected to be done to finally resolve these recurrent issues of industrial action by various higher institutions' based unions.

The 36 billion you're hamering on was MWA that other departments, ministries and agencies have received since 2020 but FG has refused to pay staffers in higher institutions. As I'm talking to you now, many staff of higher institutions were omitted even in this one that FG finally paid. People that have waited for over 2 years to receive what they're entitled to.

I don't have strength to further educate you. Pls do yourself a favour. Google is ever there to help. Get the reasons why ASUU is on strike. It's obvious you don't know.

Shoodboi:
You didn't make a single point. Government is continuous and every new government is required to honor the agreements made by the previous ones. ASUU also went on strike during GEJs tenure. They even fought him over subsidy back in 2012.

Your point lacks touch with reality. The reason for democracy and elections is to facilitate policy change. Every new regime sets there own priorities especially in nigeria's democracy. Only communist states like china, old soviet and dprk pursue long time policy plans. Nobody have died from using ipps and if u think Assu have u at heart right now den u need 2 be woken up. Enjoy the strike.

No one has died from using UTAS either. An agreement with ASUU isn't same with say, an ongoing project to fund a bridge or midday school meals that a new government can put aside when they come in.

Even those ones can lead to lawsuits as it happened with P&ID in 2019, which won a lawsuit over Buhari over a project to signed during Yaradua's era.

Fighting or blaming ASUU is what got us and the FG to this point. ASUU knows the FG doesn't care even if universities are shut for a year. And truly, does the FG care?

Buhari is done with his second term and doesn't care about ASUU at this point. Plus he lacks empathy, doesn't think/care deeply about the consequences of his actions, and isn't someone who understands the point of quality education.

And we have seen this trickle down to his appointees. Don't we all remember how the Minister of Education walked out of a meeting with the National Association of Nigerian Students? That tells you alot about how the government's stand on the strike.

And while I used these words for Buhari and his appointees, can't we say this about all the ones who came before him?

I have my reservations about ASUU too especially with their habit of fighting for their pockets while claiming to fight for Nigerian students. But truly, do Nigerian students expect ASUU to fight for them?

The answer is no but the students can't do anything about ASUU.

I'm an entry level staff in a federal University and I can tell you firsthand that IPPIS is devilish. I don't belong to ASUU but IPPIS don show me shege in just 2 years of joining the system.

Withheld salaries, non payment of statutory allowances, delayed salary payments(sometimes I receive salaries on the 7th of the next month), out of the blue bazaar payments to some people (you go dey with your colleagues for office, money go just drop for their account for nothing from IPPIS) etc. I don't want to go on.
