ASUU is demanding for 1.3 trillion naira. Giving them such money won't be an issue to me. The issue would be seeing them put the money in productive use that would have generational impact on the Nigerian economy.

As business man, banks are willing to give you loan if you can assure them their money is secure and would be put to productive use such that they'll get it back with interest.

The problem with ASUU is that they're are asking for a 1.3 trillion naira grant that would go down the drain with nothing to show for it.

So, for me as a president, the first point of discussion with ASUU is for them to come up with a 1.3 trillion naira business plan which they would execute and manage until I recover the investment.

What is the use of having professors of Petrochemical Engineering who cannot fix the national refineries?

What is the essence of having professors of Electrical Engineering who cannot fix the national power generation and distribution challenge.

Sit up and come up with a working solutions to national challenges or forfeit your titles.

If they succeed in producing a good business plan, then I'll ask the Central Bank to give them a loan of 1.3 trillion naira.

Then I'll work on a plan B to replace the money in the central bank. And that would be to create a database of all the students in private universities in Nigeria
as well as Nigerian citizens studying abroad. They all have to pay a 10% tax to support the Nigerian public universities. That means if you are comfortable paying 1 million naira as tution fee in a private University, you should be comfortable paying a tax of 100,000 naira to support our public universities.

This would be my approach as a Nigerian president.

I'll be glad to read yours.

Sorry am not the presiden

Not a solvable problem.
Since the APC government is a DISGRACEFUL failure, it can’t fix ASUU’s problems. The educational system is a TOTAL FAILURE.

ASUU will need to sit out till after 2023.

Stalemate.

I ll give them the money. Reduce every political office holders allowances by force and give ASUU.

Just enact these laws (just like for NYSC service):
1. If your kids are not in our public universities, you can't hold a public office.
2. If you did not graduate from our public universities, you can not hold a public office.

By force? Are we on military regime? The only way to reduce salaries is via the Red and green House!
Getting that done is easier than killing a lion with toothpick.

The legislators and sinators are the problem!

Won't this affect people's freedom? Na supreme Court it will end

The Senate is where the majority of the problem comes from then some parts of the government.

At last someone proffers a solution to a problem, not the usual rhetoric's of always complaining.

I admire your solution, but as for me, there is no 1.3 trillion to give anyone not less ASUU. If you try that NMA, NBA and all the associations in the country will go on their own strike.
As for me, I will dust the various law books in the country and stop dealing with ASUU, because as far as I know, it was lecturers that we employed, not ASUU. So, negotiating with ASUU is one of the first mistakes FG has been making since the days of military's rule.
You know why banks do not go on strike, it is because bankers union is a voluntary organization of bankers but they are not allowed to be a pressure group.
My own position has always been, that ASUU should first give a report of how well they have fared with the so called small investment made so far in them, so that we can all check the ROI. It is only after that they can make a business case for more money. No body sends money down the drain deliberately.

I will not hesitate to kill the body.

I will make sure every state government handles it own body of tertiary institutions why FG handles it own.

Look at kwasu, Osun state uni, and some state uni that it governors are handling it, they are not on strike. Bleep union

You would reduce senators and HORs salaries too?
When senate nor gree approve budget you go understand say Nigeria does not work the way it works in your head.

You would spend your 8 years trying to do these things. Buhari tried to end budget padding senate nor gree approve budget. That's even when APC senators were in majority o.
Imagine trying to enact those laws when the senate is against it.

Some of you guys don't even know some of thiese solution you guys are offering are only possible when you're a military dictator with absolute power and not a democratic elected president with senate and HOR

You are right. Anything to cut the wings of senators n reps is allowed. It's obvious they are the real problems

Any solution that does not involve school fees increment is a waste of time. It is dead on arrival.
That is the hard reality on ground. The bitter truth.

That is not possible if you're working under democracy. Fight the senate and they'll show you that the senate is much more powerful than the Presidency.
Unless you want to work with the judiciary. But then you'd have to give the judges a mouth watering offer to make them work for you and against the senate.

Then let Nigeria be like that. Senate n reps earning is ridiculous. Very lazy niggas

Leave the senate alone and do what you can do in 8 years and comot.
Fighting the senate will be the beginning of your woes as a president.
Imagine there's a project you wanna do and you need a loan and the senates doesn't approve the loan because you're fighting them? Even Buhari that most of the senates were APC, was frustrated when he tried to stop Budget padding.

The President is the most powerful man in Nigeria but it is until you get there that you'd know how weak the president can be because of his powers.

Yesterday, I was having a discussion with my friends, he was telling me how the 1999 constituting is the problem of Nigeria. How every States should be controlling her resources. How Borno State shouldn't be collecting oil money. That if he was President, he will stop it.
I told him if he was a Senator from Borno State and he knows what Borno state would be like if oil allocation stops and someone from the South passes a bill that it should stop would he allow the bill or frustrate it? Although he said he would, but deep down me and him know that he was deceiving himself.. Same thing with Senators from Sokoto, Taraba, Katsina, Benue, Niger etc. None of them will allow that bill because it would hurt their people.

Now what if you're a President with absolute power. You don't need the senate approval to do what you want. Let's also assume you're from Bayelsa. Would you stop sharing of oil money to the North when you know the Northerners will suffer? Remember you're from the South but you're a President of both the North and South. It is then you'd know that the solution is always easy when you're not in power.

Let's even assume, you're a great thinker.. You say, you'd put policies in place that would make the North self sufficient. That they'd be able to stop depending on oil money allocation.. Would the policies be able to show fruits till after 8 years before you leave power.?
And also those policies would take a lot of money and investment and time... Won't your southern brothers say you're now loyal to the North because you're spending too much on them? Just like when Jonathan was building Alamjiri schools and southerners were insulting him for building schools in the north which he didn't do in the south..

The moral lesson of this long epistle is that, if Buhari cannot fight the senate, nobody else can. That's the sad truth.

Is Buhari the only one that can fight in Nigeria?
As far as am concerned, he's overrated and that's why he failed.
As for the senate and reps. I ll clip their wings. I ll raise proxy people who ll reveal all their shady deals and turn Nigeria against them and exonerate myself from political largesse. Buhari would v made more sense when he said he ll reduce his earnings and he did it to the extent that he's publicly showing how he donates his earnings monthly or quarterly in the media. All those stupid aids and payment of ghost workers in aso rock. There was a time they said N1b was used to buy drugs in aso rock clinic. Who are the users? And Buhari ll still travel to overseas for checkups more than 10 times. Is his life as soft as a tissue paper?
Bros, I m ready to serve Nigeria and spoil things for the cabals

Lol. See as e easy to talk.

How many years do you think must have passed before you completely clip the senate wings?
What they need to do is make it impossible for you to pay salaries and pay bandits to increase insecurities in Nigeria and Nigerians would beg them to impeach you.

The same way you're imagining as a President you can clip the senate wings, imagine yourself as the senate trying to clip Buhari wings..
See which is easier and which will cause more damage and more outcry.

As I'll say again. Leave the senate alone and do what you think will benefit majority of Nigerians.
As bogus as what the senate take home at the end of every month is, it is a still a very small percentage of Nigeria's total budget. Just turn a blind eye on them.

*Increase the IGR you promised Nigerians to increase.
*Build the railway you promised Nigerians you'll build
*Execute what you went to Egypt to learn on their power sector and increase Nigeria power generation from 5000 to 20000 MW in 4 years (assuming it's possible).
*Pay the N1.3 billion ASUU demand you promised to pay.
*Increase the less than 1 million barrel per day oil production to the OPEC 1.8 million barrel quota you claim is the reason FG can't pay ASUU.
(But be careful here.. Don't goan do over sabi and say you're the commander in chief of the armed forces and say you want to fight the militants else they will show you shege like how they showed Buhari shege when he wanted to end Niger Delta $100,000,000 yealy amnesty budget. No matter what, don't start a war in the Niger Delta cos the militants would cripple the economy faster than the senate).
* End the security aid Nigeria give to Niger and other small African countries since you feel stopping the money would change anything.
*etc.

The federal government if it is really federal has no business owning universities, as big as the united states' is, it has only one federal university.

All over the world universities are owned and sponsored by states and organizations, I don't know why Nigerian government lack wisdom, there has being perennial ASUU strike for more than thirty years now , only the handover of federal universities to states will solve this shameful perennial strikes.

Change the enabling law for all Federal Universities in the country. The universities should be given full autonomy and become self funding. FG to give them one off grants every year, and it's up to the universities to make up the shortfall from fees and revenues from research and collaboration with industry.

Then take loans.
On ending ASUU strike, increase the school fees, and provide ways that student from not so well to do homes can take loans.
To reduce the number of students that will take loans, you can make the loans only available for student pursuing professional courses like medicine and engineering. Courses that are really useful to the Nigerian society. And make it in such a way that only the bright students are eligible. Not everybody must go to school. Thank God we're already in an era when you don't need school to blow.

Look for the top 6 things we import in this country that can be produced here and have them built.

Thought you sabi economics. Buhari na him borrow pass in the history of Nigeria.
Secondly if school fees are increased, the common man that's still struggling to meet up with the present ll kuku withdraw his kids.
Only place wey make sense is the introduction and sustenance of courses relevant to the country and economy.
Yet my first summation is the first step in the right direction.
De-market politics. Reduce their earnings. From president to NASS to govs etc.
Anyone going there is going to work and not earn.
