he National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has vehemently opposed the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

NANS at a press briefing in Kano affirmed that some of the demands by the union were very “unrealistic and un -implementable”

The National President of the Union, Yinka Gbadebo, had during the press briefing appealed to the striking lecturers to suspend the ongoing strike, while dialogue towards peaceful resolution of the disagreement continues.


Yinka said, “in the history of ASUU strike, no government has ever responded positively the way President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration has done, and I believe strongly this gesture should be reciprocated for the sake of harmony.”

Mr. Gbadebo in company of representatives of student leaders from more than 40 universities from across the country blamed the leadership of ASUU for boycotting a meeting earlier scheduled with the student body(NANS), saying that the meeting would have played a major role towards resolving the ongoing face-off.

“In as much as we sympathise with ASUU over the predicament that resulted into the industrial action, millions of Nigerian students are simply tired of staying at home, hence we appeal that the strike be called off, and negotiations resume immediately,” he affirmed

ASUU Members Device
Strategies to Survive
FG’s ‘No Work No Pay’
Policy
We informed you when FG invoked the
‘No Work No Pay’ Policy against the
striking lecturers (ASUU) and the
reply from ASUU that the ‘No Work No
Pay’ policy would not deter them from
continuing with the strike. They have
now found a means to cushion the
effects of the ‘No Work No Pay’ policy
used by the Federal Government.
The atmosphere told the story, their
body languages hid their fears. At the
ASUU UI congress on Thursday, the
discuss was not how to end the
lingering 103-day old strike or its
effect on the students, but how
members would survive while the strike
lasts.
The congress, which was snubbed by
top ASUU stalwarts in the University
such as Professor Francis Egbokhare,
Dr. Chris Ogbogbo, Dr. ‘Sola Olorunyomi
and Dr, ‘Doyin Odebowale, started at
about 10am and lasted till about 2pm
with members of the union resolved to
sustain the strike for as long as it
would go.
In attendance were Dr. Segun Aremu,
ASUU National Treasurer—who is
allegedly aiming at the Union’s National
President’s Position, UI ASUU Chairman,
Dr. ‘Segun Ajiboye, and other local
executive members of the Union and a
handful of other staff. Also in
attendance was the University of
Ibadan Vice Chancellor, Professor
Isaac Adewole who addressed the
congress briefly before heading to
Abuja.
At the gathering, which a don referred
to as a platform for the expression of
the lecturers’ greed, members
discussed how to survive while their
salaries were being withheld in line
with the no-work-no-pay-rule, and
resolved that the local Union’s
cooperatives shall begin to give loans
to members who have been
contributing to the cooperative, while
further deliberations would be held
with the management of the
cooperative in the case of new
members.
In his address to the congress,
Professor Isaac Adewole raised ASUU’s
hope that the FG was ready to shift
grounds going by the series of
meetings the Sambo-led committee,
which he is a part of, have had. The VC
who noted that another meeting was
already schedule for Thursday Evening
and Friday morning informed the Union
about the complaint of the FG with
regard to the lackadaisical attitudes
of ASUU members to applying for the
billions of Naira available to the
University in the TETFUND account
both for research and development,
and suggested that it would be right
for ASUU to be prepared to shift
grounds too in their supposed
struggle.
A don who spoke with Campus Times
after the congress regretted that
the struggle has been reduced to
what the Union will benefit from the
strike with no regard for the plights
of the students who are the innocent
victims of the crisis. “My colleagues
will always say that the struggle would
eventually be to the benefit of our
students, but if you have followed our
congress so far since the strike
began, not once has the congress
discussed the plight of our students.
It is always about the earned
allowance. Many of my colleagues have
built castles in their mind with the
earned allowance before getting it so
it is either they get the earned
allowance or the system crumbles,”
he said.
Another don who was quite
philosophical in his approach said the
union has reduced itself to nothing
more than a gathering of garage
thugs. According to him, “you don’t
argue with a fool lest you yourself
become a fool. If the FG has decided to
make itself a fool, ASUU should not
have descended into the same arena
with them”.
In his own reaction, Dr. ‘Demola Lewis
said students should not be in a hurry
to see the strike called off if the FG
would not grant the lecturers’
demands. “If we rush you back to
school now, you’ll still stay at home
for 5 or more years before you get a
job after graduating because they
say you are not employable so let’s
get it right first.” He said.
Meanwhile students of the University
of Ibadan, especially the final year
students, are already lamenting over
the protracted industrial action by
ASUU. A final year Chemistry student
who spoke with Campus Times
complained about the fact that the
materials she had acquired for her
final year research work were already
becoming useless. Another student
informed our correspondent that he
had been spending fortune on feeding
the albino rats he had bought for his
final year project as he could not
continue his research because of the
lingering ASUU strike. Both students
pleaded with the union to call off its
strike in the interest of the
students as many of their colleagues
were already frustrated by the 1103-
day old strike.
A new twist in the development, Campus
Times gathered, is the plan by
landlords in UI areas to increase their
rents as soon as the year is over.
Some students who resides in the
Agbowo area, close to the University,
informed Campus Times that their
landlords had already informed them
that they should be ready for a slight
increase in their rent following the
economic situation in the country.
Kola, a final year student of UI, inform
CT that “my landlord recently
cemented the passage in the house
and just a week after he was done, he
simply told me that he would be
increasing the rent from the current
N65,000 to N85,000 in the coming year.
I did not plan to stay in the house
beyond this year as I had thought
that by November, I would have
graduated, see what ASUU has caused
me now?”. Kola’s story was
buttressed by Seun, another final
year student who said she was already
looking for someone to squat with till
the end of the session as her parent
already told her that they could not
afford another year’s rent. “My
landlord recently called me and asked
when I was going to graduate, I
thought he was pitying my plight and I
told him we are still hoping that ASUU
would call of their strike so that I can
finish my last semester and leave
Ibadan. But the man simply told me that
he plans to renovating the house so
he would have to increase the rent by
next year. I did not even bother to
call home because I already know what
the reply will be, right now, I am just
going to look for somewhere to squat
till the end of the session.” She
said.
In the meantime, the National
Association of Nigerian Students
(NANS) has threatened to expose
ASUU’s greed should the Union fails to
call off its industrial action soon. The
NANS President, Comrade Yinka
Gbadebo who spoke with journalists in
Abuja recently, said that the union’s
demands were egocentric and that
this attitude has so far been largely
responsible for the corruption and
rot in the university system.
A member of the student body
criticized ASUU for being insensitive
to the plights of the Nigerian
students. The student was
particularly disappointed in the UI
ASUU chairman, Dr. Ajiboye over a
recent statement credited to him
that “students would graduate as
and when due”. According to him,
“is this the best leader UI lecturers
could produce? Someone who leaves
issues and attacks personalities,
someone who always stand logic on its
heads and speaks flawed English
language. I am disappointed in the
Union. What does he mean by students
would resume as and when due when the
Union has been on strike for over
3months? Like he told Bishops
Orisajafor, I think this man is himself
suffering from diarrhea of the
mouth” he said.
A don who agreed with NANS informed
CT that “just like the President
said, in a sane world, why should state
universities join a strike in which
Federal institutions are fighting the
FG? Of what academic value would it be
to the Union if the FG transfers its
landed property in the Universities to
the Universities? And why should the
union be fighting and threatening to
crumble the system because of
increased investment in
infrastructure in the Universities
when the managements of many of
these institutions have not been able
to account for what they have got so
far? The earned allowance issue is like
a gateman asking his boss for
allowances for opening and closing the
gate, what was he paid to do? So for
marking scripts and supervising
projects lecturers want to be paid
bogus allowances or they will crumble
the system, if this is the idea running
in our ivory towers don’t you see that
the country is finished? Nobody
considers the students anymore.”
The Nigerian Tribune had also lent its
voice in criticizing ASUU over its
protracted strike. In its editorial on
Oct. 2, the newspaper said: “It is no
longer possible to dismiss the
suspicion that ASUU is playing politics
with the strike because of its
adamant position in the face of the
conciliatory approach taken by the
Federal Government.”
As more and more criticizing continue
to dog the 103-day old industrial
action by ASUU, only time will tell what
will become of ASUU when it eventually
accedes to Nigerians’ plea that the
Union should seek an alternative
means of pushing its demands before
the Federal Government.

ASUU STRIKE: We ‘re yet to receive N100bn from FG – VCs
on october 17, 2013 at 12:24 am in news
BY IKENNA ASOMBA
Seven weeks after the Federal Government announced that it has commenced implementation of the agreement signed with the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, by disbursing N100 billion to  59 public universities, the affected tertiary institutions have raised alarm that they are yet to receive the fund.
The Governor Gabriel Suswan-led Presidential Implementation Committee on Needs of Nigerian Universities was said to have sourced the fund within 16 days of its inauguration from the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, and other government agencies.

The committee thereafter adopted a sharing formula for each of the university based on student population and the depth of infrastructural decay.
The money was meant for the refurbishment/renovation and  provision of new facilities such as hostels, lecture theatres and lecture rooms, laboratories and libraries in the universities.
Reacting to report that the money has been released to the universities, Vice Chancellor of one of the universities in the South East said “the Federal Government has only sent us a memo through the Ministry of Education that we are getting N650 million from the funds. Until we get alert into the university’s account, we will know how sincere the government is but presently we are yet to receive the money.”
Similarly, the Vice Chancellor of another university in the South West disclosed that the N1.2 billion earmarked for his university has not been paid either as cheque or cash into the university’s account.
It was gathered from the committee that 13 Federal universities have been left out of the initial disbursement. They are Federal University, Gashua; Federal University, Dutse, Jigawa State; Federal University, Dutsin-ma, Katsina; Federal University, Kashere, Gombe State; Federal University, Lafia, Nasarawa State; Federal University, Lokoja, Kogi State; Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State; and Federal University, Otuoke, Bayelsa State. Others are FederalUniversity, Wukari, TarabaState; FederalUniversity, Birnin-Kebbi, KebbiState; FederalUniversity, Gusau, ZamfaraState; FederalUniversity, Oye-Ekiti, EkitiState; and PoliceAcademy, Wudil.
Vanguard learnt that these universities were left out because they have just been established by the present administration between 2011 and 2013 which committed trillions of naira in their establishment and that there was no need for additional funding.
Five state universities that were also unlucky are: BukarAbbaIbrahimUniversity, Damaturu, YobeState; North-WestUniversity, KanoState; SokotoStateUniversity; Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijebu-Ode; OgunState; TechnicalUniversity, Ibadan, OyoState.
Top five Federal universities that got the lion’s share of the money were: University of Ibadan, UI, with  students population of 33,481 which got N3.250 billion; University of Benin, UNIBEN, with students population of 56,501 got N3.200 billion; Ahmadu Bello University, ABU, with students population of 49,436 got N3.200 billion; University of Port-Harcourt, UNIPORT, with students population of 53,288 got N3.050 billion; while University of Lagos, UNILAG, with students population of 49,179 also got N3.050 billion,
Also, the state universities that benefitted are: Ebonyi State University, EBSU, with students population of 23,437 got N3.050 billion; Niger Delta University, NDU, Wilberforce Island with 12,793 students population received N2.800 billion; Umaru Musa Yar’Adua University, Katsina with students population of 4,753 received N2.450 billion; Gombe State University, GSU, with students population of 4,383 got N2.450 billion, whereas the Lagos State University, LASU, Ojo with the highest students population of 90,885 among all the considered universities got N1.300 billion.

ASUU STRIKE: ERC welcomes NUT, NUPENG and NUEE’s decision to call solidarity strike
on october 17, 2013 at 1:28 am in education
BY LAJU ARENYEKA
The Education Rights Campaign (ERC) has said that it welcomes the decision of three trade unions – the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT), the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) and the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) – to embark on solidarity strike actions to compel the Federal Government to honour agreements signed with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The National Coordinator of the ERC, Mr. Hassan Soweto said this in a statement to newsmen recently. Soweto urged the three unions to take this beyond the realm of threats and immediately name a day on which the solidarity strike would take place. He said that the unions should begin “active mobilisation of their rank and file members as well as students who are frustrated at home and concerned Nigerians to come out en-masse for mass protests and demonstrations on this day.”
Adding, the ERC Boss said: “We commend the three unions for taking this decision which we believe is in the best interest of the education sector and the Nation at large. We agree that the ASUU strike has gone on for far too long and the plethora of strikes in the education sector are just too many. Slowly the entire public education sector is grinding to a halt. For instance, the public polytechnics are equally closed and it will not be too long before the Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) follow suit. The Colleges of Education lecturers had recently held a 7-day warning strike. Indeed, the Academic Staff of Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) had to resume the strike, they had suspended in July after three months, due to the insensitivity and insincerity of government to their demands and terms of the suspension of the last strike.”
 

Soweto argued that such a solidarity strike would be in the best interest of the education sector and the country at large. He said: “The three unions come from key sectors of the Nation’s economy. As such their decision to embark on solidarity strike if given full and practical effect could help pile pressure on the recalcitrant anti-poor Federal Government to meet demands of striking education unions so that public Universities and Polytechnics can be reopened for academic activities to resume. This would also serve as an example for other unions and the entire labour movement to follow. We want to stress that the solidarity actions which the NUT, NUPENG and NUEE have envisioned should also cover and back the strikes of ASUP, COEASU and all other unions in the education sector that have any on-going dispute with the government over pay, conditions and education funding. This is the best way to ensure that all the outstanding disputes in the education sector are resolved and all public Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Educations are opened for full and undisrupted academic activities.” Soweto added that the ERC understands the position of Nigerians who believe that the entire sector will crumble if such a union as the NUT goes on strike. In response to this, he said: The point that must be made is that with or without strikes, the entire education sector including secondary and primary education has already been destroyed and shutdown in terms of standard and quality that it is simply a pipe dream to imagine any serious learning is going on at any point in time in any of our public schools.”
We are yet to distribute the N100 billion —VCs
After Seven full weeks of the widely reported announcement of the distribution of   N100 billion to 59 public universities, as part of Federal Government’s commitment to fund the implementation of identified needs of the nation’s public universities, there are indications that red-tapism or perhaps, insincerity of purpose has hindered the funds from getting to universities.
Grapevines from universities authorities, comprising of Vice Chancellors reveal that the monies have been gotten through the usual official policy statements and memo, but not in cash or cheque.
For the avoidance of doubt, this said money was ‘gallantly’ shopped by the Governor Gabriel Suswam-led Presidential Implementation Committee on Needs Assessment of Nigerian Universities within 16 days of its inauguration (July 26- August 1, 2013).
If this whooping N100 billion was shopped from acclaimed sources like the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and other government agencies, within 16 days of round-the-clock work; if the sharing formular which will be presented below was arrived at within 16 days of heated debates and counter debates, should there be any, then the expedient question is why the delay in implementation, that is disbursement to the nation’s decrepit universities after the ‘nice’ sharing formular, which has been made available to Vanguard Learning.
In the words of one of the revered sources contacted, Prof. Ukachukwu Awuzie, Ag. VC, Imo State University (IMSU), Owerri, who was the immediate-past National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU): “FG has only sent us a memo through the Ministry of Education that IMSU is getting N650 million from the funds. Until we get the alert into the university’s account, we will know how sincere, government is…”
Similarly, Prof. John Obafunwa, Vice Chancellor, Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo disclosed that the N1.200 billion earmarked for the university has not been paid as cheque or cash into the university’s account.
After about one month, what is preventing universities official accounts from getting the e-credit alerts.
According to the allocation, which grapevines say was based on “students’ population and the depth of infrastructural decadence glaring individual universities in the face,” of the 40 National Universities Commission (NUC) officially recognized Federal Universities, 27 will get varying amounts from the fund, leaving out 13. For State universities, of the 39 officially recognized, 34 will get varying amounts, leaving out 5.

Introduction: Following two meetings (on Thursday 19th Sept 2013 and Friday 11th Oct 2013) of representatives
of the AVCNU (Association of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian
Universities, led by CVC Chairman, Prof. Hamisu of VNTI ATBU)
and ASUU Representatives (led by its President, Dr. Fagge) with the Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Arc. N. Sambo, Minister of education Barr. N. Wike and others, all Vice-Chancellors have been urged to inform and enlighten academic and other staff on the following developments so that we can ensure a return to normalcy in our Universities within the shortest possible time.

CONDITIONS ADDRESSED:
1. Earned Allowances: The N30 billion already released will now be increased to N40 billion, and should be regarded only as first installment, and not a once-and-for-all payment.
Government will top it up with further releases once
Universities are through with the disbursement of this new figure of N40 billion, so Vice-Chancellors are urged to expedite this disbursement within the shortest possible time using guiding templates that have been sent by the CVC.

2. NEEDS Assessment Capital Money: Government was cognizant and mindful of the ability of Universities to effectively/efficiently utilize the N100 billion fund immediately, hence that figure. However, in addition to this N100 billion dedicated and already to be made available for 2013, N200 billion (increased from N150 billion previously agreed) will now be earmarked in the 2014 Budget as well as each of the following three-four years until the Universities are brought to world-class standard.

3. Project Prioritization: Universities will now be allowed
to determine their priorities and not be “rail-roaded” into
implementing a pre-determined set of projects with respect to the NEEDS assessment. Decisions are not to be centralized.

4. TETFund Intervention: Government assured that the operations of the TETFund will not be impaired, and that the regular TETFund intervention disbursement to Universities will continue, unaffected. So the NEEDS assessment capital outlays are in addition to regular TETFund intervention.

5. IMC: A new Implementation Monitoring Committee (IMC) for the NEEDs ASSESSMENT intervention for Universities has been set up to take over from the Suswan Committee. The new one is under the Federal Ministry of education and chaired by the Honorable Minister of education. In addition, to build confidence and ensure faithful implementation and prevent any relapse as before, the Vice President will meet quarterly with the IMC to monitor progress.

6. Blueprint: ASUU was mandated to submit a blue print for revitalizing the Universities to the Vice President.

7. Official Agreement Document: A signed document would be issued very soon to itemize the full issues on which this present consensus outlined here, brokered by AVCNU, has been reached.

8. An Appeal to Call Off Strike: The Vice-President
Sambo appealed to ASUU to call off the strike and apologized for the “take-it-or-leave-it” comments credited to the Hon Minister of Finance. All other parties present at the meetings also prevailed on the ASUU leadership to consult objectively with its members to get them to agree with what is now on the table and to call off the strike as soon as possible after the Sallah break of Tuesday/Wednesday October 15/16 2013.

9. ASUU President Responds: At both meetings, the President of ASUU thanked the VP for taking over negotiations and promised to consult with his ASUU Constituency.

We keep our fingers firmly crossed, as we await both the
official consensus agreement document and full ASUU reaction. Statesmanship from all sides is called for at this point in time

Good news!!!!
Towards ending the ongoing ASUU strike,
the Federal Government has committed to
spending N200 billion in the 2014 budget on
the universities as well as on each of the
next three-four years until the universities
are brought to world-class standard as
demanded by ASUU leadership.
This is in addition to the N100 billion
dedicated and already made available…
Government has also increased to N40billion
as a first installment, funds for payment of
earned allowances to the striking lecturers,
an improvement from the N30 billion
previously released.
This information is contained in an internal
statement at the Federal University of
Otuoke by Professor Bolaji Aluko, its Vice-
Chancellor.
On the earned allowances, Prof. Aluko said
“Government will top it up with further
releases once universities are through with
the disbursement of this new figure of N40
million, so Vice-Chancellors are urged to
expedite this disbursement within the
shortest possible time using guiding
templates that have been sent by the CVC.”
Professor Aluko said the development
followed meetings on September 19 and Oct
11 of representatives of the Association of
Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities,
led by Prof. Hamisu of ATBU and ASUU reps
led by its President, Dr. N. Fagge with the
Vice-President of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria, Arc. Namadi. Sambo, Minister of
State for Education, Nyesom Wike and
others.
In the interest of peace, Vice-President
Sambo appealed to ASUU to call off the
strike and apologized over the “take-it-or-
leave-it” comments made by the Minister of
Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
Other points of agreement at the meetings
include the following:
Project Prioritization: Universities will now
be allowed to determine their priorities and
not be “rail-roaded” into implementing a pre-
determined set of projects with respect to
the NEEDS assessment. Decisions are not to
be centralized.
TETFund Intervention: Government assured
that the operations of the TETFund will not
be impaired, and that the regular TETFund
intervention disbursement to Universities
will continue, unaffected. So the NEEDS
assessment capital outlays are in addition to
regular TETFund intervention.
Project Monitoring: A new Implementation
Monitoring Committee (IMC) for the NEEDS
Assessment intervention for universities has
been set up to take over from the Suswan
Committee. The new one is under the Federal
Ministry of Education and chaired by the
Honorable Minister of Education.
In addition, to build confidence and ensure
faithful implementation and prevent any
relapse as before, the Vice President will
meet quarterly with the IMC to monitor
progress.
Blueprint: ASUU was mandated to submit a
blue print for revitalizing the Universities to
the Vice President. ASUU leadership will now
meet to decide if the government should be
trusted again, this time.
