The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU)   called off its strike on wednesday,23rd September,2020 after reaching an agreement with the Federal Government.
The ASUU President, announced after a meeting with the union’s executive committee that they would suspend the industrial action for one month till end of October. According to Professor Abiodun, this was to allow Government enough time to fulfill its promises as contained in the recent agreement with them. To this end, the union directed university lecturers to resume duty effective from monday 28 September, 2020.
The union had embarked on an indefinite strike on 11 March, 2020, following Government’s failure to implement the agreement reached with the union in November 2016 and to implement UTAs
Sources in the Labour Ministry indicated that ASUU’s decision to suspend the strike was reached after four hours closed door meeting with the Federal Government delegation led by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige.
At the meeting, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by the union’s President, Professor Abiodun and Dr. Ngige on behalf of the federal government. Others who signed the document were: President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade AyubaWabba; Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, Architect Sonny Echono; Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, Mr. Bolaji Adebiyi; as well as other members of the government team.
Highlights of the agreement reached included funding of government universities, payment of earned academic allowances, government responsibility as regards academic staff schools (primary wing), pension matters for professors, payment of salary shortfalls on which implementation has already commenced and resolution on exemption of Treasury Single Account (TSA) payment system in certain areas.
In his reaction, Dr. Ngige said the grey areas were conclusively dealt with to the satisfaction of both parties which he attributed to the spirit of give and take exhibited by both parties with great acknowledgement of the economic situation of the country.
Expressing hope that ASUU would call off the strike, the Labour and Employment Minister said: “ASUU will go back to consult its organ with a view to calling off the strike. We hope to hear good news from them in the next 24 hours so that our children can go back to class. They got nearly everything they wanted”.
Reacting, ASUU President, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi said:  “Government will hear us in the next 24 hours. It could even be less than that because our members are waiting for us”.
Professor Ogunyemi, who promised that the union would not rest on its oars until the country’s university education system is transformed, said it was high time Nigeria returned  to the era of being an educational tourist destination for other African countries. He appreciated the Labour Minister and his Education counterpart, as well as other stakeholders that were involved in the series of consultations that resulted in the milestone reached through the signed agreement.
Meanwhile the Monday Bulletin team had reported in the last edition of a possible end to the strike with the union agreeing to consider the Federal Government’s offer at a meeting held on Thursday 24thSeptember, which lasted for about 13 hours in Abuja

Assuming you are married to a man who works as self employed selling some wholesale items that fetch him 70k every month and you have three kids with him.

Meanwhile you the wife work in a private institution earning 60k as well as selling things online that fetch very little like 10k to 15k everymonth.

So you have adviced him to get something else doing to augment your joint income because the money both of you make is barely enough for both of you and three children. You suggest you both need to add more sources of income to your present jobs to move ahead in life and advance, send your children to better schools, maybe build a house, to just upgrade yourselves generally.

So after suggesting different jobs for him he refused to do anything else except his wholesale business because he believes one day he will suddenly make it big from selling his market.

You give up and start your own third business which is part time catering and start making some considerable amount of money from it so you buy new clothes, shoes, nice snacks for your kids from time to time.

Your husband sees all this and tells you to also buy gifts for him from your 'plenty' money. Tells you to not buy new things for only your kids but you should buy also add his own.

How will you react please?

This isn't a made up story please. It's very true, I just want to know if the way I responded was reasonable or if I was wrong.

mightyhazel:
This one doesn't have passion for his work.. like a doctor saying he won't respond to emergency.. or driver saying he won't convey passengers.. what did u sign up to do as a security personnel

majamajic:
Hmmmm, be using your senses. That huge school building behind is for what ?

Anago55:
So people still learn under mango trees in this century?

Obiano is a failure and that is why Anambra has been on the decline since the inception of his administration

Anambra is a shithole state

frog12:

the WOMAN is just desperate for the JOB!
SHE could have gone for the AFDB position.

The thing is Nigerians are too fucking hypocritical. They talk with both sides of their mouth.

On one hand, they'll castigate the likes of hushpuppi, while on the other side they'll indirectly criticize people doing honest work cos they don't make much.
It's almost like they're trying to insult people's intelligence.


It's in this same nairaland that a young guy who finishes poly and got a job as a firm supervisor or something, I really can't recall, but the nigga was comfortable and wasn't begging, yet over 80% of people who commented were castigating him, telling him to hustle and how he wasn't doing enough.

Make e go tif? Abeg we deserve our leaders joor. Most of the people criticizing the government are only pissed off cos they're not getting a piece of the cake. Give them and they would Praises that even David would be shocked.

One thing I've come to understand is to pay attention to what people don't say and not what they say

I dey vex abeg! We're too hypocritical (OP, even you and I are not spared). If we don't fix our mentality, Nigeria will be the same in the next 50 Years

babyfaceafrica:
how will having Dr Ngozi in that position help Naija?.. You better stop deceiving yourself, if she wins, she wins for herself and her western supporters... Naija will not gain nada, I repeat nada!!!

RuddyFusion:
You make no sense...no iota of sense

etrange:
She became an American citizen last year. This may affect how China welcomes her candidacy. I wish her the best.

etrange:
Must you guys really do this?

bioemmy:
I'm not reasoning like an Ab0ki like you said.
Irrespective of those who want her there, Nigerians should also support her.

Yea, her being there may not openly benefit Nigeria, cos she can't be obviously bias, but it boost the image of the country.

She being the first African to hold that post is a plus.

One day, people like us too will vie for international positions and will need support form home.

And your comment above says a lot about your thinking I must say.

ChiefJusticeFuc:
Yeah, keep reasoning like an Ab0ki who thinks having a northern Muslim as president bennefits him.

She is only in the race because Bill Gates and the Rocherfeller foundation (two organizations she is on board) want her to be there.

Her emergence will not bennefit you but most likely be the reverse as her only loyalty is to the globalist agenda.

She is contesting on behalf of the Globalist agenda.

Chii59:
Go back and read the gospels. John the baptist, Jesus Christ said worse.

Tecord1:
Matt 23: 33 downward. Luke 11:44

Chii59:
Jesus called Herod a fox, cursed the pharisees and sadducees several times saying "woe unto you" called them whitewashed sepulchres etc.
Do you even read your Bible at all? Or you're just being a hypocrite?

Tecord1:
if you are a reader of the bible, you will know that Jesus replied the scribes and pharisees.He also called them names, He went as far as to curse them. So just going to church does not make one a christian. You have to read the bible as well to know what God says and not what pastor says.

Pastor Paul Enenche owner of Dynamics International Ministries Respond To Daddy Freeze

Pastor Paul Enenche calls daddy freeze Mad Dog

Watch what he said about Daddy Freeze and why he called him Mad Dog

Aufbauh:
Pastor Dr. Paul Enenche really took his time and tactfulness to tactically knockout Daddy Freeze.

As an adult I'm even more confused right now cuz the pastor makes a whole lot of sense in all honesty.

However, i discover that people who are quick to criticize or disrespect others can hardly stomach such if the table turns.

AkaweEmmanuel:
I am just confused because the company is recruiting.

gurunlocker:
I guess they have reduced the testing in the last week, that's why we have low case report.

InventTech:
Realistically, some are better than others.
That's why you have rankings, grading and rating scales which also is same for humans.

Except you also mean to say that all Nigerian graduates the same
