They go on strike whenever they please, most times citing lack of funds as a reason but why is nobody asking them about our school fees and other levies we have to pay to receive education? It's not that I'm against them fighting for what they want but we just have to ask some questions. Where are our fees? What happened to it? Are we paying for nothing?

Are they emptied into the federal government account? Or

Are the amount we pay not enough ? Or

Are some big politicians stocking them in their pockets? Or

Are they being pilled up in the bank for future use? Or

Is it that the federal government pays half of our fees for us, hereby making Assu ask them for their needs? Or

Are they being used to fund elections?

Students pay so many levies from school fees, to acceptance fee, and many others too numerous to mention. Why are we paying fees if the money cannot be used to give us quality education? It isn't fair to we the students at all.

Please can someone who has knowledge of universities account give me an answer?

If the money is not enough, why can't they just tell us point black? Why hiding it from us?

A student will pay school fees and other numerous levies every year, and yet will be confined to the house because of strike. Why? Can't our fees be used to fund whatever our lecturers and university staff need?

rubbish question.
ur school fees no reach anywhere, the school can't even fund itself, imagine a school of 11k students and average school fees of 100k per person.
That is about N1b per session.
imagine the school having 300 lecturers and they take home an average salary of 300k monthly, ur 1b naira don finish o.
They also pay for free WiFi which u use to download porn and pubG.
Money to pay porters, the diesel they burn daily nko, renovation too o.

we practise mono economy and most sectors doesn't bring money to government, na oil we all deh hope on, without oil, nothing else will function.
When FG was shouting economy diversification, u think we are joking, u may want to insult this present administration but no govt can do anything about our situation after the fall in oil price, it was inevitable.
Our protest is not just about SARS but to get the country working

How is it a rubbish question? How can you pay for something as important as education, and yet you are not given quality education. On top of that, you are forced to sit at home. Is this fair?

We cannot continue like this. Why would our lecturers run to the government for their funds and other things that can be gotten with our school fees? If the government pays our fees, then why are we asked to pay again? They should simply tell us to stop paying fees so that we would proudly say that we are given free education in Nigeria.

Why are they collecting money from both sides - students and government? It's called double thiefry

They are supposed to have a meeting on Wednesday. I hope it will come out fruitful. But we can't be certain that there will no longer be strike again in Nigeria. They will surely look for some reason to go on a self proclaimed holiday.

I asked because I saw 5 students attending College of Education came back to town since they left here March because of covid 19 school lock down. so I thought they have already resumed, and a facebook friend doing her masters told me too that school has resumed. though am not a student.

They have their union. And I'm very sure that they collaborated with Assu. But I don't think all colleges of education joined the strike . That all I can tell you.

LMAO!
Your fees are non-tuition. So has nothing to do with lecturers. Federal govt pays your tuition.

Muna4real:

I presume you mean ASUU by ASSU.

1. ASUU is a labour union of lecturers in Nigerian universities. Their main aim is to fight for their welfare which includes their remuneration and working environment.

2. If their pay is poor, the agitate. If their working environment is bad, they agitate.

3. You pay your fees to the FG not to the Union. That is why if you are paying your fees, you use remita.

4. ASUU generates her money from levies and dues paid by her members, lecturers.

Satisfied?

NairalandSARS:

Seriously? So what are our non tuition fees used for? That should be running into billions for first year students of every university if I should calculate it. So are you saying we are having half free education in Nigeria?

When you start paying 1m as school fees, then it will be enough because that's what private schools accept to fund theirselves

OP, your questions are funny sha...

Normally universities are places that have the potential to generate revenue and be self sufficient but it would mean an average nigerian MAY Not have access to tertiary education mainly due to high school fees(check out private universites and most state universites). That prompted FG to subsidized it so that nigerians could have access to these universites.

When you pay your fees through remitta for FG universites, it goes to the university account domiciled with CBN because of TSA( FG may easily track their expenditure).

what you call school fees is actually service rendered by the university. FG actually pays your tuition(by virtue of allocation given to each university) for FG universites while states subsidize as much as they could for state universites.

The money you paid ( as school fees) is used to run the university like paying staff employed by the university, electricity generation (normal PHCN or buying diesel, even to arrange for exams) and other cost that i can't list here and the ones that may come up anytime(unforseen circumstances).

Academic staff(Lecturers) and Non- Academic staff(Lab instructors, Secretary of depts, works, srudent affairs, registry and so on) are all paid by the FG so anything that has to do with their welfare package like this IPPIS, earned allowance, revitalization (conducive environment) are all directed to FG not the university.
Why?? Because FG employed them not the university.

But everyother worker you see in the university, is paid by the university and is answerable to the university.

So next time, take out your school fees slip and read through. There should be a run down of all their services. WITH THAT IN MIND, YOU WOULD SEE THE UNIQUENESS OF EACH UNIVERSITY (the state they are domiciled, the type of university, their alumni strength etal), WILL DETERMINE HOW THEY FIX THEIR FEES.
That is why school fees are different in FG universites.example: school fees of UNILAG is different from UNN.

so na so e be..in my school back then in the days, the cost of generating electricity for the university community is close to 50million in a month, maybe more than that right now
Now calculate that for just a semester (4 months) which is around 200million, how much is your school fees??

I have much to say , but this should give you an idea how e de be...

Muna4real:


Seriously? So what are our non tuition fees used for? That should be running into billions for first year students of every university if I should calculate it. So are you saying we are having half free education in Nigeria?

Billions kee??
How much is acceptable fee and how many students are even admitted??
Check out the carrying capacity of each University. Where last i checked, ABU has the highest around 7,000. Most times they admit less than that because our universites habe been stretched.

Yes, they generate billions but not enough to make them fully autonomous without increasing fees to at least 500k upwards.

Our education is subsidized. We don't pay School fees. We pay charges.

If u are student of a federal university, u have no right to ask this question, because u are almost going to school for free..

Tertiary institutions defer and each has its own union. Univerties have ASUU, Polythenics have ASUP while Colleges of Education have COASSU. Most of the times, these unions do not support each other. If ASUU is on strike for instance, it doesn't affect students of other institutions.
