The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has appealed to parents and students to be patient over its decision to reposition and save the country’s university system from total collapse.

ASUU National President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, made the appeal in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Thursday.

DAILY POST recalls that the university lecturers had, embarked on strike, demanding for the implementation of the 2009 agreement it entered into with the Federal Government.

Ogunyemi said that the strike was not to short-change neither the students nor the parents and other key stakeholders but to save the country’s university system from collapse.

He said, “We want to call on our students and parents to show understanding with our struggle as we are in this together.

“The whole essence of this struggle is to ensure that our students get worthy and deserving certificates that they will be proud of anywhere they may find themselves in the world.

“The struggle is to ensure too that we save Nigerian universities from going the way our public primary and secondary schools have gone.

“Today, most parents are sending their children and wards to private primary and secondary schools around the country because of the perceived or alleged falling standards.

“We do not want our universities to go same way because a lot of our parents may not be able to afford the private university fees.

The National President also stated that there was an urgent need for both the Federal and State Governments to reconsider their approach towards the development of universities in the country, to avoid an outright collapse in the near future.

“The sad thing now is that the World Bank is giving funds to some private universities to thrive over public universities.

“Unless Nigerians rise to the occasion and join ASUU in putting pressure on both the Federal and State Governments to pay adequate attention to our universities, secondary and primary schools, we may be facing a total collapse of our educational sector.

However, he said that university students might be staying longer at home as no concrete resolution had been reached with the Federal Government so far.

‘’The representatives of the union met with the Federal Government on Monday, Nov. 26 but that the meeting ended in a deadlock.

“We met on Monday in order to reach an agreement on the key issues we are agitating for but nothing tangible came out of the meeting.

“Rather than come out with firm commitment on what to do about these demands, they were appealing to us to go back to the classrooms while they tackle the issues; and to us they have missed the point.

“We were told that the negotiation will continue on Friday, Nov. 30 but up till now, as we speak, I have not received any notice of meeting to that effect,’’ he said.

All d energy wasted on years acquiring my B.Sc and M.Sc would av been rather channelled towards developing this lucrative business i'm presently into.

One of d greatest regrets of my life is wasting so many years acquiring useless formal education in nigeria under d aegis of shambolic destiny-destroying bodies like Aasu and co. Tufiakwa!

assu de Mad wat are de repositioning when sm of them have their folks in private schools and are utterly corrupt wicked and inhumane it's time sm schools pull out of assu their strikes is nauseating nonsense

person don finish school, to collect result na wahala

ASUU

a Senior lecturer showed me his pay slip today


i was weak

these guys just dey manage life and live on loans

Thank God for better by far

It is well.

This is ASUU's real character, whoever that does not know this is six months stike is still an ASUU Jambite. ASUU knows that the strike have to be once and for all like 2013. So students have their destiny in their hands either to Move forward or backward.I think improving your digital skill is a bet you can take to the bank any day any time.This is the only way to remain relevant in any workspace after graduating.

I dont know what we have done wrong to deserve this despot of a president
