Education / Re: ASUU Holds NEC Meeting Over Strike by sinkhole: 7:42am On Aug 01, 2022
samuelpeters:

There was a time ASUU suspended her strike temporarily and negotiation continued.

They can suspend the strike for a month and see the reaction of FG.

FG has never been trusted. If they are, there wouldn't be strike to begin with.
Was there any positive result after that time you mentioned?
Bros, that was that time and this is now, result or no suspension of strike, that is what ASUU wants!
After the strike (which may be next year smiley ), they will resume and they will be paid.

Why can't they just suspend the strike for like a month while waiting for whatever Adamu Adamu is going to propose to them?
grin grin That will never happen, FG can never be trusted!
You yourself think am, how will it be possible for ASUU to say they are going on strike again, after one month of resumption? It is just not possible, it is either the problem is solved now or everybody die here embarassed embarassed

I am suspecting that it will still be rolled over a little more embarassed
My reason being that Adamu Adamu asked for two (or three) weeks, the two weeks will end by Wednesday (while three weeks end by next week Wednesday), hence ASUU can not suspend strike while there is no result and they are almost close to the end of the fight!

Education / ASUU Holds NEC Meeting Over Strike by sinkhole: 9:51pm On Jul 31, 2022
The National Executive Council, NEC, of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is holding its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting Sunday, in Abuja to decide the next line of action on its industrial action that has entered 167th day.

ASUU and other university based unions went on strike over alleged federal government’s failure to honour their agreements and demands bordering on welfare, funding of the universities, payments systems amongst others.

The strike, which commenced since February 14, 2022, seems endless as several meetings, interventions, consultations and FG-ASUU negotiations, have been futile.

heykims:

POSITION OF A SELFLESS AND PATRIOTIC UNIVERSITY DON ON ASUU:-
*Professor Ahmed Isah Haruna is a University Professor in Bauchi State.*

He said;
Even in ASUU, this is the worst leadership I have seen in 25 years in the University.

Both Government and ASUU are not sincere on University education in Nigeria. I have not seen any intellectualism in the attitude of both Government and ASUU.

I will touch few things that do not make sense; why is ASUU on strike now? *It is because of IPPIS and after losing out on that, they shifted the goalpost to "Revitalization of Universities" which is very unrealistic.*

Why would a sensible person declare a strike during the coronavirus global confusion? Where is the much acclaimed knowledge?

*This strike was never voted for at individual branches as usual, but truncated by the ASUU NEC. It never happened this way before. The IPPIS unveiled an unbelievable number of ghost workers on the University payroll.* The former GIFMIS payroll that ASUU preferred accommodated all those ghost workers. So the complaint about IPPIS is baseless and unfounded.

*Why would a professor be allowed to visit more than two universities in a month? How would he cover the contact hours and quality delivery to students if he has to visit three, four, five and etc Universities?* All for money. Who are then killing the university education from within?

Why would this malpractice be allowed simply because it is ASUU ? Respect should be earned through honesty.*What is revitalization? Who will source over N1 trillion naira and throw it to Universities for unspecified projects and look the other way? This will never happen. How many Universities judiciously utilized the money given by President Goodluck Jonathan for Needs Assessment Projects? Infact you will see better projects in State Universities than Federal Universities.*

Why is ASUU silent about this? Who actually benefits from major projects? University Management and Union officials as supervisors but not lecturers.

*TETFUND is doing good in their intervention projects in all Universities, so why this revitalization again? Why is ASUU drifting away from sourcing welfare of its members and targeting revitalization? Are they fighting for it's member or the University Management?*

As it is now, *majority of ASUU member have gone to Abuja and enrolled for the IPPIS because the deception is too much. No Government in the history of Nigeria is interested in education. So only sincerity of purpose, honesty and transparency on the side of ASUU would defeat them and not stupid pride and propaganda.*

If Nigerian Universities are winning research grants and doing the research, they would have solved their problems and earn more respect. Does it take new laboratory or office to put up an application for a good research?

*If ASUU had been encouraging good research, things would not have been this bad. You cannot help politicians to rig elections and expect them to respect you.*
That Professor is a failure and he is hinging his failure on ASUU.
I attached the brief Scopus profile of the Prof below and you will see that he only has three(3) articles on the world academic standard portal! Is it ASUU that stopped him from having more research output?
For your information, ASUU does not set any standard in the Universities, NUC and the University Governing Councils do so. ASUU encourages her members to do their work as required but if they refused to do so and the NUC together with the University refused to penalized them then their is nothing that ASUU can do.
For you info too, that Prof is not a member of ASUU!

Ikechukwu183:

I was also thinking of this, they are saying IPPIS is protected under intellectual property. If the owners of IPPIS are indeed foreign, how come FG is trusting them with people's data and huge financial operations/transactions without any integrity test for accuracy, hacks and loopholes.

They are more interested in forcing IPPIS down the throats of ASUU and civil servants even after several compliants that IPPIS is not disbursing accurate amounts.
They claimed that we are broke, but they are happy to be spending millions of dollars on what we can do here in Nigeria!
Nigerians may not be able to build rockets or jet aircrafts but if it is a matter of software design and production there is no limit on what Nigerians could do, this UTAS is a testimony.

emorse:

You can't really fault them for trying to dig as deep as possible. After all, the system is supposed to handle a lot of money amongst many other very important things. Such a system should be fool proof.
For your info, there is no report of other platforms, i.e., IPPIS of FG and U3PS of the non academics and from what I learnt, when ASUU asked for IPPIS to be tested the FG then claimed that there is a script on IPPIS that they do not have access to except the vendor (the vendor/owner of IPPIS is not in Nigeria shocked )

Education / Re: ASUU members, How Do You Cope Without Salary? by sinkhole: 9:12am On Jul 30, 2022
Queensee:


Why should they get paid when they are not working?

The only reason why they have not tried to bend and end the strike is because they know they will still pay at the very end.

At the end of the day, it's the students that will lose. Most people will exceed the age limit of 30, and may not qualify to go and serve because of ASUU strike.
The Federal Colleges of Education are currently on strike and they are still getting their salaries sad
ASUU, NAAT, SSANU and NASU, all went on strike in the Federal Universities, only the salaries of ASUU and NAAT were stopped! Why?

And our senators have gone on six weeks recess. This country is a big joke. None of those legislators actually came for the interest of the country.

Watching their "Buhari must go" chant, you will see the level of unseriouness in their faces.

I lost a very good friend, who was a major in the Army, to bandits last month.

The tales of the horrid ambush makes me weep for this country.

If suggestions are welcomed, I think the camera should be removed from the gun frame, as it seems you can not see anything when the gun is firing!
I also think they should be planning a satellite control of the vehicle, such that if the close remote control is lost(maybe the operator is killed or wounded or captured) then the base can take control through a satellite link!
