I feel ASUU are too self centered, the economy situations all over the world do not support such bogus requests at this umpteenth time.

Clowns.


It was during Prof Abdulrahman Oba's tenure lecturers were sacked for going on strike and they finally won at the supreme court in 2009 during the term of the Oloyede you are hyping.
They were reinstated and paid their salaries for 8years of doing no work.

Meanwhile they were already employed by private universities.

Oblivion34:
ASUU declared a strike in February 2022.

Every meeting with the Union has always ended in deadlock.

The union, however, stood its ground and claims not to shift grounds until all of its demands are met.

Meanwhile, the union president kept referring to how the government has seized their salaries to influence their decisions and stance.

This is the month of September 2022 and the government has met more than 60% of the union demands.

All the striking unions already called off strike the past month after a brief meeting with the government.

ASUU has refused to call off the strike because the Federal government is not willing to pay them their 6 months salary arrears.

They've however been very tactical with the strike time frame. At first, they declared one month strike, then kept increasing the time frame while making it look as if they were willing to call off the strike in good faith.

They declared an indefinite strike after the government had met 60% of their frivolous demands.

Before the federal government thinks about paying the union their 6 months arrears, think about the effect it will have.

ASUU is known for declaring strikes every year because they often get paid before they resume back to class.



Where is it done that a union will declare 6 months strike, and still be expecting a salary for work not done?

There is without a doubt that the union has lost the sympathy of 80% of most Nigerians, and the only thing stopping students from declaring them public enemy No.1 in the educational sector is because of "fear"

If the federal government decides to pay them today, nothing will stop them from declaring a 3-5 years strike tomorrow!!!



ASUU is failing to realize that nobody is happy with the present-day government.

Declaring over 3 months of strike while expecting pay for work not done is selfish, and unjustifiable.

In a sane world, a union is expected to press its demands for a maximum of 3 months before resuming back to classes.

Before declaring an indefinite strike; the union claim they are not going to make up for the lost months if the government fails to pay them

No matter what happens, students will always be at the receiving end.

During our time, lecturers were so inconsiderate after calling off 4 months ASUU strike. They started exams immediately as if we were the cause of the strike/fight.

The bolded part has always been the tradition of ASUU. They don't make up for all the lost months.

"ASUU claims the strike is a sacrifice for the generation to come." They should also be willing to sacrifice their one-year salary for the generation to come.

Paying ASUU will mean more subscriptions to more strikes in the nearest future.

Not paying them their 6 months strike will make them more reasonable before declaring another strike in the nearest future,
(II) It will enable them to give more listening hears to what the government has to offer quicker, rather than standing on what they want!

Keep writing mumu grammar. Unjustifiable kill you there! Instead of you to put pressure on the government you are typing bs. I guess you must have many carry overs or probably a dropout before you can be dishing out baseless and sentimental comments just like this. Olodo!

Revolution2022:
What about the lawmakers who will go on recess for 3 months or more and they will be paid their jumbo salaries in full?Bihar will travel out of Nigeria for medical tourism for many months and he will be paid his salary in full.Buhari is the minister of petroleum.What has he been doing as a minister and he is receiving fat salaries in that self-.appointment

sultan003:



There is nothing like work not done in the university academic system, because whenever the strike is called off all those semesters and session paused will be resumed and concluded before a new session is started.

So the work is still done, except when those semesters and sessions are cancelled that is when work is not done

BlueRayDick:
Nigeria is a funny country . FG will boldly tell u that it does not have the financial muscle to improve the education sector as much as ASUU are demanding , yet the same FG keeps establishing new federal universities and upgrading some FG owned polytechnics to Universities. U do not have enough money to run the existing universities to world standard , yet u are establishing more universities …..
This is not about financial running of the university but about the financial runnings of ASUU pocket. They kept on demanding for more money every year

No be juju be that ?

loko50:
I wonder how old you are and if you have knowledge of what ASUU is requesting for. Your biased opinion is solely based on witheld salaries but you failed to mention the renegotiation of the current salary. How can workers be on same salary since 2009? It would be better if you can provide a more general view that this monolithic approach. This make you look like someone sponsored by the government.

princeade86:
students are still enjoying home. Their parents are still enjoying seen them staying at home with them and helping them do one or two things. If not, it doesn't cost students to troop out and stage a massive protest against government by delaying their destiny. I don't know why people are blaming ASUU for the strike, while in every sectors of government, billions of naira are missing without traces. Is unfair. If Nigeria labor Congress can hold government tight like ASUU, by now, Nigeria
would have better. But their own sector already compromise with bad leadership.

Haywhy3579:

So work is done by quickly rushing students to examination table just after one month of resumption. Paying them amount to scamming millions of Nigerians wch include u and I. By next year they will still strike because it is a norms to them and they know government will pay them

Privatepart00:


They are been paid 27th of every month since the strike started. PRODA falls under this category yet all their staffs are getting paid while on strike.
FG is owning all staffs in federal universities their salary arrears of 2022 . Those ones suspended their strike to have something in their pocket. Let FG withdraw the salary arrears on fixed deposit and pay. That’s how they dragged new minimum wages areas for a year before they finally paid in May 2022.

sultan003:




Okay, so cancelling it and starting a new session is the best way forward then..
Otherwise suggest the best solution

FYI, no one is going to rush anyone.. those session will go on normally, except
If you schooled abroad and schooled in a Nigerian federal University, you will understand what is going on..

Haywhy3579:

So the government should just give whatever money demanded by ASUU to them and any time they come for more money they should be given. U must be a good leader and is that how u run the affairs of ur home to start with. If student protest against the government and govt pays them then what has change in the system. Does it mean they will not strike again b4 those student graduate. They will just start using students as tools to fight for there pocket.

fergie001:
My dear Oblivion,

You should have mentioned the demands and name the ones the FG has fulfilled.

ASUU should have sense na.it is obvious that their demands would not be met by this outgoing govt.let them take whatever is being offered and strike once a new govt is in

Nauttyprof:
The OP writes as if he is a foreigner. Not paying the 6 months Arrears will extend the strike and the government will have no option but to pay for more months.

Our politicians do nothing and yet get paid and receive several allowances. Did anybody query our senators when they didn't meet the number of seating expected of them? Yet, they collected all salaries and allowances due to them. Did anybody query our politicians who leave their duties to travel just for personal gains? Yet, they get fully paid.

We need to start asking questions. ASUU on their part is fighting for a just course. Our educational system is absolutely rubbish. Equipment used in laboratories are of 18th century when we are in 21st century. Must we continue this way? One of the reasons these same politician run to other countries for medical treatment is basically due to the foundation - poor educational system. They don't trust our professionals and it is not just about the facilities. We keep blaming ASUU but we fail to attack the government whose priority isn't about education but cattle ranching, inflated infrastructure and many other wrong allocations from the budget. If all the figures padded into the infrastructure project are gathered, this would have solved many issues in the educational system.

So ASUU did not strike during other regime abi Mtscheeeew

Missionaire:
Where is it done that a union will declare 6 months strike, and still be expecting a salary for work not done?

Where is it done that a Union will return from strike and still do the backlog of the work they didn't do while on strike (without being paid)?

It is a simple thing. Either ASUU is paid for the time on strike since they will still do the backlog of the work just as they have been doing or they don't get paid but it is agreed that they will start on a new slate thereby making new students, final year students and pending lectures to be overboarded.

LORDCYPRESS:


Mr oblivion...(op)

Pls answer this question sincerely.

Since you only know how to support evil...

galantjoe:


stop comparing career civil servants such as ASUU members who spent up to 50years in office with 4-year-term politicians that spent fortunes to get elected.

the moment one is trying to make this world fair that will be moment it will create endless crisis. life is not fair. not equating everything. some senior private university lecturers are being N100k but their counterpart in federal are being N600k. is it fair.

ASUU is greedy and gluttony

Haywhy3579:

I schooled in a public university and i withness ASUU strike first hand. The lecturers always come back to class rooms to rush students and the school also shorten there calendar and give like a week holiday between semesters. So it still doesn’t justify the fact that the lecturer will do six month work in 2 months and now collect 8 months salaries with 2 month job
