engrfcuksmtin: Before now I would have attacked you as a sympathizer of ASUU and somebody in the system, but with the current development your assertions is not far from the truth. Ranks within the ASUU are suppose to review this strike and put an end to it. Everybody is aware that GEJ held meeting with ASUU and had an agreement with him. Being the first time a sitting president will make such move, they would have respect the office and to call of the strike. Then if at the long run the president did not keep to his promises they can cry out, give 30days ultimate with massive public awareness then go on strike with the backing of the sympathy of most Nigerians. THE FACT IS THAT ASUU CAN NOT FIGHT THE ISSUE OF ADEQUATE FUNDING OF THE EDUCATION SECTOR ALONE AND WIN. It will take the the combined efforts of all stake holders in the education sector: NUT, ASUP, ASUU, NANS, PTA, SANU, NASU Nadal every other unions related to education at all levels. ASUU should just make do with whatever they have been able to get from the strike I.e earned allowances.

Gbam! Please where is that guy giving out crates of gulder?? I think this my guy deserves one!

ASUU DON FUCKUP! THIS IS A BIG DISGRACE ON THEM, THEY SHOULD HAVE CALLED OFF THE STRIKE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT MEETING. NOW WHO LOOSE? BIG SHAME ON THEM

oluafolabi: Jonathan Orders University Authorities To Re-open Schools(full speech).

President Goodluck Jonathan has directed the authorities of all the federal universities in the country to resume academic activities, Thisday reports.

Jonathan said that any lecturer or member of the academic staff that fails to comply with this directive will lose his job.

He directed the school authorities to declare vacant any position of any defaulting member of academic staff.

Pro-Chancellors of Nigerian federal universities, on Wednesday also called on all tertiary institutions in the country to resume.academic activities.

Below is the full text of the address by the Supervising Minister of Education, Barr. Nyesom Wike this morning.

PRESS BRIEFING BY THE SUPERVISING MINISTER OF EDUCATION, CHIEF (BARR) EZENWO NYESOM WIKE ON THE ON GOING INDUSTRIAL STRIKE ACTION BY ASUU ON THURSDAY, 28TH NOVEMBER, 2013

PROTOCOL
You may recall that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) went on strike on 1st July, 2013 on the grievances of non-implementation of the Federal Government (FGN) / ASUU agreement, signed in 2009.

In reaction, the Federal Government initiated series of meetings between her team led by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, including the Honourable Ministers of Education, Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Labour & Productivity, and other top Government officials with the Executive of ASUU. It should be noted that a joint Senate and House Committees on Education also intervened without success. A committee was also inaugurated for the implementation of the Needs Assessment Report.

As a further demonstration of Government’s commitment to resolve the crisis, His Excellency, Architect Namadi Sambo, GCON, Vice – President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on behalf of Government, intervened and invited ASUU to a meeting where the two contentious issues of Earned Academic Allowances and Funding, for the revitalization of the universities, were discussed and resolutions reached. There was still no positive response from ASUU.

Consequently, on 4th November, 2013, in a thirteen hour meeting, His Excellency Mr. President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR met with ASUU Executive, the Labour Union leaders from the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), where all the issues were resolved and firm commitments made to address the lingering issues.

It is note worthy that Mr. President’s gesture was more than sufficient to guarantee the commitment of Government to address all issues as resolved at the meeting with Mr. President.

At the end of the meeting with Mr. President, the ASUU Executive promised to meet with its NEC to present the resolutions reached and report back by Friday November 8, 2013. It is unfortunate that while traveling to attend the NEC meeting in Kano, we lost a key member and former President of the union, Prof. Festus Iyayi. Government sympathizes with the families of the late Iyayi and ASUU.

It is amazing, however, that three weeks after the meeting with Mr. President, ASUU responded by giving new conditions for suspending the five month old strike.

Government has reviewed the entire situation and come to the conclusion, that the continuation of the strike action is an attempt by ASUU to sabotage all efforts to address the issues.

As a responsible Government we cannot allow the continuous closure of our public universities for this length of time (five months), as this poses danger to the education system, the future of our youths and national development.

Consequently, the Federal Government has directed as follows:
i.All Vice – Chancellors of Federal Universities that are currently on strike should immediately reopen for academic and allied activities as directed by their Pro-Chancellors;
ii.Vice – Chancellors should ensure that staff who resume for work are provided with the enabling environment for academic and allied activities;
iii.Any academic staff who fails to resume on or before the 4th of December, 2013 automatically ceases to be a staff of the institution; and
iv.Vice-Chancellors are also directed to advertise vacancies (internal and external) in their institutions.

The National Universities Commission is hereby directed to monitor the compliance of these directives by the various institutions.

The Federal Government has met all its commitments and obligations with respect to the FG/ASUU 2009 Agreement.

We appeal to all stakeholders to appreciate the position of Government which is in the best interest of our dear country.

i like this plan B

Sermwell: Gbam! Please where is that guy giving out crates of gulder?? I think this my guy deserves one!

infact ASUU don Bleep up big time rubish

Middle finger to Nasir Fagge a.k.a gay, middle finger to
ASUU, middle finger to the Northern
forum, middle finger to Nigeria & her
children, middle finger to the president.
May all those who play politics for
religious or Ethnic advantage get killed
with their mouth open & may all those playing politics with our education die instantly with a strange object piercing their heart

Hopez456: Cant wait to see newspapers headlines tomorrow. Wana hear ASUU position.

ASUU position will be known from next week; when their branches meet. WIKE and OKOKO are unduly heating up the polity. Things are not looking too good; it is like the fighting of 2 mad men.

If this plan B eventually works out on federal universities, state universities will have no choice than to bid the strike au revoir

I really want this Plan B to work Out well... Let's wait for ASUU response this Strike is Just Taking turn of Events...

1. What if ASUU refuses.........??
2. When will the Recruitment Commence.......??
3. Will Govt. really releases those said Funds.......??

FG’s directive, an empty threat – ASUU

The Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU) on Thursday described the threat by
the federal government to sack lecturers if
they don’t return to classroom as empty threat
that could not hold water.
The union said it is vindicated that the Federal
government was not ready to implement
resolutions reached with the union.
ASUU said the threat will fail, adding that
Nigerian public universities need 60,000
lecturers due to government’s failure to
employ more capable hands into the system.
The union said federal government is wasting
the time of Nigerians youths by failing to
perfect the resolutions and get the strike
suspended.
The union added it had reasons to be wary
following the failure of government to honour
their promises to Academic Staff Union of
Polytechnics, resident doctors and other health
workers who have suspended their strikes.
The ASUU National Treasurer, Dr. Ademola
Aremu, while responding to the government’s
directive, said the threat does not hold water
as it has confirmed the fears that the federal
government cannot be trusted.
The don said, “With the latest action, the
federal government has shown that they are
not committed to all they have been saying.
We are saying that since we agreed at the
meeting that the sum of 200 billion naira is
for 2012 and 2013 revitalisation, the federal
government should deposit same in the Central
Bank of Nigerian. We are already in November
and December is around the corner. If they
don’t do that now, when do they want to do it?
We are saying the non-victimization clause
should be included as agreed while the
renegotiation of the 2009 agreement should be
included as agreed with the presidents”.
“It is a pity if the federal government is not
willing to perfect the resolutions reached with
union. This is why we find it difficult to trust
our leaders by their words. How can someone
be threatening to sack lecturers when
universities are already short-staffed by almost
60,000. We are not in military era. The
military tried it and failed. This one will fail
again. They can re-open the school. ASUU did
not shut down the universities. It was the
management of the schools that ordered the
students to go back home.”

The shyte is getting messier....

screenagerjoe: if this plan works, dts d END of ASUU forever nd ever. They no go get power again.

true...i hope it works though
