Boss Ttdiamonds: I have to say those individuals (Students in tis' case)...cravin' hard for ASUU to suspend the ongoin' strike...definately wasted their time doin' nothin' durin' the period of the ASUU strike....
My Reason: Tis' is cuz all individuals who have/had engaged themselves in enterprisin' acts (makin' money doin' one business or the other) dont want the strike called off at tis' point/period, they'd rather have it called off next year...
Plus I really dont see why the strike should be called off tis' period.. The year is gone already, they'd only induce stress in students especially those who are goin' to have a semester exam on their hands.....

Just a thought Anywayz....
Guy pack well jor u think say na everybody still dey school? If am still an undergraduate i dont mind d strike going for a long period even 2yrs but guy i miss batch B, C of 2013 you know what that means i guess and A'14 dey bleak, so you can advise dem for my sake and others make dem call am off.

Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye, the chairman of the
Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, in
the University of Ibadan, has confirmed that
stories which made the rounds on Saturday,
that the National Executive Council, NEC, would
hold an emergency meeting in Kano, were false.
Ajiboye was speaking
in an interview on
Diamond FM,
University of Ibadan
and stated that no
meeting was
scheduled for today,
as they were still in
the middle of a
seven-day morning,
which was declared in
honour of the late
Professor Festus
Iyayi, a former
national chairman of
the Union.
It would be recalled
that Iyayi lost his life
in a fatal crash, on his
way to Bayero
University, Kano,
where members of
ASUU were to meet
and reach a final
decision, on whether
to continue with the
strike or accept the
federal government’s
offer.






you guys should confirm things before raising peoples expectations

Its so sad that the education sector is gradually heading for collapse,,,a lot of damage has being done already,,,final year students in federal uni can't serve dis year again,schools like eksu are yet to write their first semester examz,hope of d strike called off this year is so bleak,,,most nigerian students are already losing interest school which implies that there may be a lot of dropouts,,,students have been at home for five months already,,,is this ASUU's plan of revitalising d educational sector??..

STRIKE LATEST: ASUU NEC meeting now to hold on Friday – Daily Independent
SOURCEDAILY INDEPENDENT
•Says late unionist burial top priority •Family sets
December 5-9 for rites •FG begs to participate

ASUU President – Nasir Fage
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) may hold its postponed National Executive Council (NEC) meeting on Friday to decide whether or not to suspend the indefinite strike it began since July 2.
A top official of ASUU, who preferred anonymity, disclosed this to Daily Independent in a telephone interview on Sunday.
He was, however, not certain if the NEC will still be held at the Bayero University, Kano where it was initially proposed to hold.
The leadership of the union postponed the scheduled Kano NEC meeting following the demise of one its key members, Festus Iyayi, who died last Tuesday in a ghastly motor accident on his way to Kano for the postponed NEC meeting.
The source noted that the union members are still grieved and are pre-occupied with the burial arrangement of the late Professor of Business Administration, who died along the Abuja-Lokoja highway in an accident caused by the convoy of Kogi State Governor, Idris Wada.
The source debunked speculations in the social media that ASUU has jettisoned its NEC indefinitely, saying the union postponed the NEC meeting as a mark of honour and respect for the late Iyayi.
According to him, all ASUU officials that were supposed to participate in the NEC meeting last week Wednesday had actually gathered at the Bayero University, Kano, but for the unfortunate accident which claimed the life of Iyayi and disrupted the agenda already set for the meeting.
Meanwhile, Supervisory Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, also at the weekend led a delegation of government on a condolence visit to the residence of the late academician in Benin City.
Wike assured that the Federal Government would diligently implement all the agreements it reached with ASUU in the course of the negotiations with President Goodluck Jonathan.
Those in the delegation of the minister include Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Julius Okojie, and some top officials of Federal Ministry of Education.
They also visited the injured ASUU National Welfare Officer, Ngozi Iloh, who is said to be responding to treatment at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin.
In a statement in Abuja on Sunday, the Minister’s Special Assistant (Media), Simeon Nwakaudu, said Wike solicited the permission of the family to allow the Federal Government participate in the burial ceremony of the former ASUU president.
“President Goodluck Jonathan and the entire administration are deeply pained by the sudden death of the former ASUU National President who played a key part in the negotiations between ASUU and the Federal Government.
“We recall the significant contributions of Professor Iyayi during the 13-hour negotiations between President Jonathan and ASUU, which led to a headway in the discussions.
“I want to assure the family that the ideals that the late scholar fought and died for will never be forgotten. The Federal Government will diligently implement the decisions reached in the course of negotiations with ASUU.
“The Federal Ministry of Education wishes to be a part of the burial of this erudite scholar and we seek the permission of the family to participate in the burial. I pray God to grant the family the strength to bear this unfortunate loss,” Wike was quoted to have said.
Oriabure Iyayi, son of the late ASUU president, was said to have thanked President Jonathan, the Minister of Education and all Nigerians for commiserating with the family at their moment of grief.
A relative of the deceased, Prof. Robert Ebiwele, informed the minister that the burial will hold between December 5 and 9.
He assured that the family would inform the Federal Ministry of Education on the burial arrangements. Source osundefender.. Daily post also confirms this...

Re: ASUU May Suspend Strike Today by LogoDWhiz(m): 3:22pm On Nov 22, 2013
schools are set to dump the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, in the ongoing strike action embarked upon by the union for almost five months now.
This is as the National Executive Council, NEC, of the union meets today to decide on the sustained industrial action which many Nigerians have come to condemn.
The leadership of ASUU had postponed the scheduled NEC meeting at the Bayero University, Kano, following the demise of Festus Iyayi, a former president of the union, who died Tuesday last week in a motor accident along the Abuja-Lokoja highway.
The postponement of the NEC meeting to January 15, 2014, had caused widespread outcry as not a few Nigerians – students, parents and other stakeholders – condemned the decision of the union, saying it was evident of insensitivity to the plight of Nigerian students who are worst hit.
Following the development, several universities were said to have begun to hold talks on how to dump the national body and call off the ongoing strike in their respective institutions.
Regardless of the ongoing strike, some universities scheduled dates for their post-Universities Matriculation Examination, UME, exercises.
For instance, Lagos State University, LASU; the University of Lagos, UNILAG; and the University of Jos, UNIJOS, all scheduled to conduct the post UME examinations, although the national body frowned at their decision and stalled the examinations in most schools.
The Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, AAUA, in Ondo State has already pulled out of the strike.
In a statement issued and signed by its registrar, R.B Olotu, the school had ordered its students to resume for the second semester on November 25, thereby boycotting the nationwide strike.
“All students of AAUA are hereby informed that academic activities of the second semester of 2012/2013 session truncated as a result of the ASUU national strike are to resume on Monday, November 25, 2013 with the continuation of registration on the university portal, while lectures are to start on Monday, December 2, 2013,” the statement read.
At the Niger State-owned Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai (IBBUL), some academic staff have already commenced teaching.
This has caused some rancour among ASUU as some lecturers and students have returned to the classrooms since Monday following the re-opening of the institution by the management. But the branch ASUU Chairman, Dr. Aliyu Badeggi, insisted that the strike was still in force in the institution.
Investigations by showed that lectures have resumed only in three departments – English and Linguistics, Mathematics and Physics, while Mass Communication, Business Administration and other Sciences were yet to resume lectures.
The Vice Chancellor, Professor Ibrahim Kolo, had last Friday directed students to resume lectures on Monday, after an emergency Senate meeting approved the re-opening of the institution.
Investigations reveal that several other institutions, especially those who voted for the suspension of the strike, are set to dump the union if it decides to continue with the ongoing strike after today’s meeting.
It was therefore no surprise when news filtered in that UNILAG and LASU were set to conduct degree and matriculation examinations outside their campuses.
Also, sources say the Enugu State University of Technology, ESUT, is set to call off the strike if at the end of today’s meeting ASUU still decides to go on with the strike.
The Adamawa State University was also reported to have pulled out of the strike.
Worried by this development, president of ASUU, Dr. Nasir Fagge has warned vice chancellors to desist from conducting off-campus examinations or other academic activities, as such moves could jeopardise the stand of the union.
“We appeal to our VCs to cease from further eroding the credibility of the academic profession which the iconic status of their offices represents. They should remember that they are destroying themselves and their professional calling by desecrating the sacred ethos of university degree and selection examination,” Fagge said.

Re: ASUU May Suspend Strike Today by LogoDWhiz(m): 3:22pm On Nov 22, 2013
It would be recalled that the 61 chapters of the association met on Monday last week to vote in their various institutions for or against the suspension of the strike.
Not a few Nigerians had expected that the personal intervention of the president would pacify the striking lecturers and persuade them to suspend the strike action; but instead, the industrial action had continued.
ASUU had however directed that all its 61 chapters hold their congresses on Monday, November 11.
While some chapters were ready to suspend the strike in the light of the president’s intervention, others insisted that they would continue the strike due to what they described as their distrust for the government.
Whereas the University of Lagos resolved to suspend the strike, chapters like the University of Ibadan, UI; University of Benin, UNIBEN; University of Calabar, UNICAL; University of Jos, UNIJOS, and the Lagos State University, LASU, vowed to continue as they insisted that the government cannot be trusted to fulfil its promise to inject over N1.1 trillion to universities in the next five years.
