crownprince2017:

I ask you, is assu not on monthly salary, are they being paid based on academic calendar?
Why are many people reasoning the same way?
I employed and put you on monthly salary, is there anything like where we stopped working or what is assu saying that is not logical?
If assu want to be paid just like their counterparts in developed countries, do they give what their counterparts give in those countries?

The money the universities are generating in Nigeria is more than the money they are generating for the government, who is holding them accountable for this?

They claimed they were on strike yet many of them still sells one form or the other just to generate igr, for who pls? The environment they are using to sell forms, how much is their investment there..

Because there is corruption in government does not mean we should continue to do the wrong thing after all assu members are corrupt too.

To me, assu are selfish to the point of not weighing the consequences of there actions, who it will affect and how it will affect them, mind you, government will come and go, assu are like landlords that must make sure your houses are not tattered by the tenants..they supposed to show more patriotism as the landlords they are. After all government did something.

Where is your own proof

The moment you admit this ASUU strike is for selfish interests the better for you.

If ASUU wants to be honest let them post there demand out on the media but I know they can't because it major about there salaries and welfare.

I have an uncle who is a lecturer and he is my source.

Oblivion34:


This strike is making us aware of unions that we never thought existed.

JJuanMiguel:

Because it was unreasonable, ASUU asking for 180% salary increment. It means someone on 200k will jump to 560k.
FG who is their employer offered 30k-60k increment, they said it's too small and that's part of why they are still at home.
But the major reason, even though they will deny it is the shock of the stance of FG on no work no pay policy. They didn't anticipate it, some have even borrowed money via their cooperatives to sustain themselves during the strike with the hope to get a huge sum when they call off to pay back. Now FG have put them in a more difficult position.

Oblivion34:


I beleive there were some underground negotiations going on between the government and ASUU before they declared strike.

ASUU wants rapid action!

I support the no work no salary!

It is the only way to stop them the incessant strikes

Niklaus398:
never say never. I might be one day and get to rule you.
I'm far better citizens than you cause I don't lick the president ass. People like you are demonic. You know the president is wrong but you support him.

rant19ade:
In saner climes and with responsible govt, no strike to a key sector of the economy/sociol life will reach six months. Most would have been btw 2weeks to a month.
So the idea of no work no pay make sense.
After fg dragged leg for over six months now wants to not pay for those period because of no work no pay policy can't work.
Simple

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

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

kafeii123:
Foolishness...ASUU didn't start the strike because of unpaid salaries...the strike wasn't because of unpaid salaries... even if you pay the salaries..ASUU would still not resume unless the issues that caused the strike in the first place.. become resolved...

If you will punish ASUU for maintaining the strike...then you should also include everyone in the ministries of labor... and education... for letting the strike go on this far...yet not resolving anything....

After all ASUU had concluded talks with the government's teams... before the minister of education now suddenly came up with a sham decree that negates all the terms of the concluded agreement

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 there will be no holidays

If you schooled abroad and schooled in a Nigerian federal University, you will understand what is going on..

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

TenQ:

ASUU is not asking for more money. ASUU is simply asking that the signed agreements between ASUU and the FG be honoured!

Is there anything wrong with insisting that a signed agreement be honoured?

Heterodox:
The OP is just one of many bastards around.



Are you okay with the useless graduates Nigeria education system is producing?

Niklaus398:
why should dey govt delay the inevitable? We all know they're gonna pay ASUU that money one way or the other so why stress it and take students time?
Fg will still pay more than half of their salaries either way, so it is better they begin now.

Oblivion34:


Agreement since over a decade!

LORDCYPRESS:


fergie001

Mr oblivion...(op)

Pls answer this question sincerely.

Since you only know how to support evil...

Hadizometer:

Are they paid based on work done or monthly?

Nauttyprof:


ASUU is greedy but your Politicians are saint who have made the educational system rot to this stage. Did you hear yourself?

Fairness and equity must be brought to this. Someone spent fortunes to get elected is not an excuse to lavishly spend our resources. Please, say something else

GeneralBuhari:


Just look at your stupid logic.

So let's assume you are in charge of building a house for me.

And then you decide to stop coming to work in 2020

And then you come back in 2022 to resume the work from where you stopped

And then you insist that I must pay you for the work you didnt do in 2021 simply because you are resuming from where you stopped.

What type of nonsense reasoning is that?

And yet you want the whole world to call you an intellectual?

No work no pay, abeg!

fergie001:




My dear Oblivion, I am not an old Professor. Sometimes, ask questions especially on issues that are a bit unclear to you.

What you failed to mention is that salaries of the GAs and ALs were reduced to accommodate that of Professors and Readers, so you think that is fair, just and alright?

Who told you the FG has implemented UTAS?
NITDA affirmed that UTAS bettered IPPIS, so where did you hear that they assented to UTAS (in writing). is it supposed to be a gentleman's agreement or be done in writing like IPPIS was done?

What do you mean some type of visitation?
What type of visitation?
Be specific about it.

The FG can even negotiate with the salary aspect, it is not the only demand!

This is the fact as of today:

‘’They met with the president, he set up a committee headed by the Chief of Staff that should resolve this quickly, the world saw it in the press, they did nothing. The president set up the Munzali committee, we met them finish, nothing, they didn’t come back. They set up the Nimi Briggs committee, it’s now more than three months, two months we finished negotiating with them, they didn’t come back.

‘’The president directed the Ministry of Education to finish within two weeks, two weeks has passed, they didn’t come back.’’


Now, listen to the Chairperson, Committee of VCs in Nigeria;

"This issue of saying we don’t have money to put into the university system shouldn’t be. It is like the Needs Assessment fund; it was not given to ASUU, it was given to the universities.

“When they say we don’t have funds, what they are saying is that ‘these universities are our own but we don’t have money to give. We don’t have money to pay for overhead to run the universities.’ I listened to Keyamo also. He is not even at the centre of the whole thing.”


Now, gently ..... Go through this, just yesterday;

garfield1:


A little salary increment

loko50:


Increased salary by how many percent. Compare that to Prof. Briggs report. Be objective

loko50:


Whatever you typed here has no meaning

fergie001:

So, who was President in 2020?
So they now negotiate demands yearly or biennially?

The FG should come out and say we will accept this one and not accept this one. This pattern of theirs isn't helping @ all.

Read to understand and read well. I cannot be explaining every sarcasm that I post.

Niklaus398:
hate and envy for a failure? If I was the President I would have done a better job. Heck, even a bby can do a much better job.

JJuanMiguel:

ASUU thought it was the right time to strike and ask for 180% rise in pay cos of election

janvier27:
I'll pick only one item, earned allowance. Lecturers are owed the peanuts earned allowance for years. The only times they got paid some amount was when they went on strike. Now they went on strike and it took over three months before government agreed to talks. Now we are saying they should not be paid for the strike forced on them. Truly we deserve the government we have.
