Aderostock: After they have finished turning the supposed flag-off ceremony for road construction to political campaign for 2015. they should remind the fisherman president that all youths are angry with him over ASUU strike:

The Association of Northern Youths for the
Advancement of Peace Harmony &
Development, ANYPAD, has called on President
Goodluck Jonathan to resolve the lingering crisis
between Academic Staff Union of Universities ,
ASUU, and the Ministry of Education or face
protest by youth from the region.
A statement by the association’s national
president, Melvin Ejeh, on Friday said Nigerian
university lecturers deserved better treatment
from the federal government.
“Our lecturers and the entire university
community deserve a better condition of service
if we must grow as a nation. We therefore call
on President Goodluck Jonathan to sack the two
ministers forthwith and employ all means within
his disposal and resolve this once and for all,”
the statement said.
The statement faulted the Minister of Education
on her inability to resolve ASUU issues amicably
and asked that she resign to make way for a
more competent person.
“We ask the Minister of Education, Rukayat Rufai
and Minister of Labour and Productivity, Emeka
Wogu to resign their appointments forthwith or
face mass street protest from the youths,” the
statement said, adding, “This is a complete show
of incompetence and lack of respect for the
future of Nigeria students.”
The group noted that most of the people
creating “artificial problems” in the educational
sub-sector, in their time, passed through the
education system with ease.
“We are aware that most of these selfish public
officers today enjoyed free education and even
got automatic employments. We wonder why
they remain adamant to ASUU and students
plights since 2009. Our parents are always
running form pillars to poles to pay schools fees
in spite of the economic hardship in the country
while some persons are sitting in the comfort of
their office inflicting more pains on parents,
guardian and students,” they said.
Meanwhile, the National Association of Nigerian
Students, NANS, has appealed to the Federal
Government and ASUU to resolve their
differences as soon as possible to allow the
return of academic activities to Nigerian
Universities.
The NANS Vice President, National Affairs,
Ahamed Jibril, on Thursday made the appeal in
a press release to journalists, revealing that the
strike has crumbled academic activities in the
Universities.
“We, the leadership of NANS, are calling on the
Federal Government particularly the Minister of
Education, NUC (Nigerian University Council),
ASUU and all parties involved in the ASUU issues
to kindly tackle the issues that have warranted
the ongoing ASUU strike as we the students are
at the receiving end,” he said.
According to the student body, continuous strike
by lecturers in Nigeria has severally disrupted
the academic calendar thereby delaying the
graduation of students from various institutions
and preventing the Nigerian student from
contributing effectively to the economy.
The university lecturers commenced an
indefinite strike action on Monday based on the
Federal Government’s failure to implement
some of the issues contained in a 2009
agreement with the association. The union also
accused the government of reneging on a
Memorandum of
Understanding [MoU] jointly agreed on in
December 2011.
On the constant fracas on campuses that lead to
the death of students, NANS called on its
senators (all SUG presidents) to dialogue and
apply other peaceful measures to curb the
increasing rate of crisis on campuses.
“Demonstrations are not always the best option
of addressing student issues; it is to the best of
interest of the students to employ peaceful
negotiations because it’s our campuses and
academic works that are always hampered each
time such incidents occur,” the NANS president
said.
The student union leader also appealed to the
management of Nigerian institutions to be more
diplomatic in dealing with student issues.
The association also commended the Federal
government for the merger of EFCC and ICPC,
and urged the merging bodies to work
effectively to reduce corruption in the country,
especially within the education sector.
