Despite the fact that the government took so long before putting into consideration the demands of ASUU in the 2009 Agreement,

it might interest you all to know that the current ASUU boss is a northerner and a Muslim

who may have been acting on a script to further make Nigeria ungovernable by GEJ.

Governor Gabriel Suswam of
Benue State has said the lingering strike
by the Academic Staff Union of
Universities, ASUU, is becoming a
political action other than an agitation
for the welfare of university lecturers.
Suswam, who spoke yesterday, when he
played host to the leadership of the
National Union of Benue Students,
NUBES, insisted that the leadership of
ASUU was not being realistic with its
demands.

According to him, “ASUU has no business
continuing with this strike because the
Federal Government has met virtually all
of their demands. There is nothing in the
list of their demands that government
has not touched. Which is actually true.

The Federal government has released
N100 billion to upgrade infrastructures in
the universities and that money has
been distributed among all the
universities in the country and most of
them have commenced their
procurement process.

While the sum of
N30 billion has also been released to
take care of the Earned Allowances of
lecturers in federal universities (which is supposed to be responsibility of governing councils of Universities from internally generated revenue),

pending
the verification of the number of those
that are entitled to it.” (Which doesn't mean FG won't source for means to settle them once they are in classroom)

Remember as Students, you pay Administrative chargers and other bills during registrations! This moneys are meant to Cater for Issue of Earned Allowance (the 87bn ASUU are refusing to call off the strike for despite government intervention of 30bn).

I agree with Gov. Suswam statement. Curled from www.vanguardngr.com/2013/09/ASUU-strike-becoming-political-suswam/

I agree with the Governor on this one

Like ASUU had said the needs assessment committee set up by the FG was actually to act as a smoke-screen to take the eyes of nigerians off the main issues. And Suswam's statement has proved that.
The issue is not about the 100b nor the 30b, it's about a gov't that lacks integrity, and trustworthiness. The moneys that are said to be endorsed don't make up to 50% of the agreement had in 2009.
So you see, first it was no action at all on the pathof the FG, then it was it's not possible for the agreement to be enforced, then it was there's no money in the FG acounts, then 100b to b shared amongst 57 schools (I wonder what each school will get), and now it is the strike is politicised. Perhaps, the next thing we'll hear is that Faggae is the sole sponsor of opposition elements in the country.
I have always said that when one looks at university of Abuja (pitifully my alma mater), you see the reall attitude of the FG towards education in this country. And this is what ASUU is trying to change. 100 billion would not last the schools a yea. Who know when next the FG would pay a 100billion after this time.
We need a sustainable process.

Like I said, what they want is a sustainable process..
Besides, 'touching' is just what it is - touching. We don't want the FG to just touch. ASUU wants the FG to be trustworthy, to fully implement the 2009 agreement, and make it sustainable while doing so.
