ASUU ati Tinubu ma bara won mu nkan le

What percentage of ASUU participate in election compared to the total number of lecturers? And who told you that even if you use pastors, bishop or imams, they won't still compromise the process. As saintly as Jesus and the disciples are, one of them still betrayed Jesus. A perfect system does not exist

jetguy:
ASUU should feel the pain too...

Shebi them know how to rigged elections

Xammie001:
Relax and understand before exposing your weaknesses to the World, They are refering to Documents of 2009 and 2011 sir not Recent and with the reformation on ground ehn it will be ASUU vs NANS soon

MrIcredible:
Lol

This is very funny...
What a country

We have a long way to go

..abi..why will the education minister care about the education sector in Nigeria.. when his children are schooling in foreign countries abroad..it's a pity

Education minister giving excuses ...it's a pity

bamipet01:
FG & ASSU should please come to terms this time around. All these forth & back is not just necessary

No be this same set of lecturers dey ring elections for this same politicians.
Some of them will even write figures they can't pronounce at the collection centers.
Unaa never chim something

Gorem2013:
These are academicians teaching Nigeria youth

They don't even know different between proposals and binding contracts


Bunch of greedy people, no innovation or any tangible discoveries from the ivory tower

Another ignoramus spotted...Fg Did sign the agreement ad promised it will be implemented. It was the basis on which the strike was called off.

Alausa is just playing to the gallery here

This is false...The lecturers job is to add all.the votes that are reported to him.in the results sheets... the real rigging happens at the polling booths where nysc and unqualified people are responsible for vote counting...ASUU staff are not involved in that and that is why there's still so much rigging.

ASUU as a body is not involved in elections but doesn't bar members from participating..the reason is because ASUU demanded that inec should let lecturers also be at the polling booths and be involved in votes counting and recording but INEC refused... if that wasn't the case...rigging would have ended in nigerian voting system

An elusive one for sure...lol he's dreaming on osogbo weed

Softmirror:
ASUU is trying to blackmail the Federal Government simply because this administration is doing as much as possible to keep a clean sheet of no ASUU strike and have been keeping up with their demands.

So they want to capitalize on this good gesture by this administration inorder to blackmail it.

Good gesture...where is it?

blamingthedevil:
What a disgrace on the part of ASUU. So they cannot differentiate between AGREEMENT & PROPOSAL. For almost 16 years ASUU has been shouting:
2009 AGREEMENT
2009 AGREEMENT
2009 AGREEMENT

abi nah . .sheybe all d professors inside the country did not go to school...so they cannot tell what is an agreement . it is one Mr. Alausa who probably doesn't even have a masters degree that is now the one to tell them what a proposal is..vs an agreement...things that were signed as part of a negotiation. Una don enter am for ds

correctyourself:
Ooohhhh it means those University professors actually lied

So how are we sure what they're telling the students is actually true?

so u believe politicians...over professors... u sure sey ds ur brain nor dey leak

Let me clarify the accuracy of the statement that the Federal Government (FG) "never signed any deal with ASUU in 2009 and 2011." That claim does not align with well-documented historical records.

Evidence That Deals Were Signed in Both 2009 and 2011

2009 Agreement — Fully Signed

In October 2009, after a prolonged strike lasting around four months, the Federal Government and ASUU signed a renegotiated version of the 2006 agreement, effectively calling off the strike. The signing was witnessed by Education Minister Sam Egwu, ASUU President Prof. Ukachukwu Awuzie, and pro-chancellors including Dr. Wale Babalakin .

The 2009 agreement also produced broader systemic reforms: issues such as revitalizing universities, enabling autonomy, revitalization funding, earned academic allowances, and more were addressed. The agreement took effect on July 1, 2009, with provisions like an increased retirement age for professors beginning immediately .


2011 Agreement or Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)

In September 2011, ASUU embarked on a two-week warning strike, which compelled the government to return to the negotiating table.

Subsequently, an MoU was signed in January 2011 (or shortly thereafter), aimed at resolving outstanding implementation issues from the 2009 agreement. The MoU stipulated that discussions on implementing the agreement were to be concluded by November 2011. Unfortunately, the government did not fully honor those commitments .

Try dey get sense na

Industrial strike loading.....95%

Raxxye:
So you that knows the "different," what did the Government sign that made ASUU to call off the 2009 strike that lasted several months?

Don't mind them. People always judge whenever they listen to one side of the story. Wait for ASUU to furnish the public with enough evidence first.

True talk!
Why is ASUU and some NLC Footsoldiers are always going on Strike - which should have been last Option?
For Example - Why Did ASUU Rejected the 10- yrs Loan to the Tertiary Workers which is a good gesture anyway?
Does ASUU have its own Agenda in Running Universities and If So let them have Courage - By Itemising their Ideas Publicly in All the Newspapers and NIGERIANS will respond!
ASUU - Should Never See themselves as All Too Know in University Administration!
They have been doing this Strike Thin For Too long!
Can they do this Abroad?
They Should Rest or Is It When A 4- Year Course For A Student Becomes 7 - yrs On The Campus Or Is It Not The Reason - Why Many Now Prefer Private Universities - even though, they would have Chosen Some Public - State and Federal Ones

PRESS RELEASE

CLARIFICATION ON MINISTER'S STATEMENT REGARDING FGN-ASUU AGREEMENTS


The Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, wishes to clarify his statement made during an interaction with the press on August 28, 2025, regarding agreements between the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
For the avoidance of doubt, the FGN-ASUU Agreement was last signed in 2009. That agreement remains the most recent signed and binding agreement between the Federal Government and ASUU.
Subsequently, in 2017, the then Honourable Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, inaugurated a renegotiation committee to review the 2009 agreement. The outcome of that process was the draft Nimi Briggs Agreement produced in May 2021. However, it is important to stress that this 2021 draft agreement was not signed by the Federal Government.

When the Honourable Minister stated yesterday that there had been “no new signed agreement” with ASUU, he was referring specifically to the 2021 draft Nimi Briggs document, which has not been formally executed.

The Ministry therefore reaffirms that, The 2009 FGN-ASUU Agreement remains the last formally signed agreement, The 2021 Nimi Briggs draft agreement was not signed but serves as the latest framework for discussions. The Federal Government remains committed to ending the 16-year stalemate with ASUU in a sustainable and constitutionally backed manner, ensuring our universities remain open for teaching and research.

The Ministry of Education urges the public and all stakeholders to disregard any misinterpretations and to note that the Federal Government’s commitment to resolving issues with ASUU remains firm under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
