FG’s directive, an empty threat – ASUU

Posted by: Oseheye Okwuofu, Ibadan in News Update 5 mins ago

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.”

I Love ASUUs response; FG should have made it 24 hours ultimatum or better still proscribe ASUU. Petrol has just been added to smouldering firewood but GEJ can calm the situation.

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.

FG Gives ASUU 1 Week Ultimatum To Call Off Strike

Today the Federal Government gave the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), one week ultimatum to call off the lingering lecturers' strike.

The acting Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, stated this while briefing journalists in Abuja.

It was gathered that the government has also ordered Vice Chancellors of Universities to declare the jobs of the striking lecturers vacant as from Wednesday, December 4.

Wike called the ongoing varsity teachers' strike as "act of sabotage."

"The continuation of the strike despite several meetings, especially with President Goodluck Jonathan is an attempt by the union to sabotage all efforts by government to address the issue," he said.

The minister disclosed that government has met all its commitments and obligations with respect to the agreement.

According to his words, government took the decision to reopen the universities following ASUU's new conditions which are "not tenable. "

His words:

"On November 4, 2013 President Goodluck Jonathan met with ASUU executive, 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 crisis. "It is noteworthy that Mr. President's gesture was more than sufficient to guarantee the commitment of government to address all issues raised at the meeting with Mr. President.

"At the end of the meeting, the ASUU team promised to convene a meeting of its National Executive Committee to present the resolutions reached and report back by Friday November 8, 2013. It is unfortunate that while travelling 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 family of the late Iyayi and ASUU. It is however amazing that three weeks after the meeting with Mr. President, ASUU responded by giving new conditions for suspending the five month old strike. I have never seen anywhere in any country where you sit down with Mr. President.

"That is the highest level of discussion. If you cannot believe Mr. President then who else will you believe?"

"Any academic staff who fails to resume on or before the 4th of December, 2013 automatically ceases to be a staff of the institution

"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 Commitment 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."

This is military system by a civilian. So you want to force them back to the class. If not you sack them? You always sacking Sir,but remember the whole Nigeria will sack you onedey. You claimed to be an ex-lecturer. I wonder what type you were. You are finally showing your true colors and feeding us with violent fresh air. This is Tyranny.

As for ASUU aluta continua. Lets see if he is bluffing. He can't take care of needs of local lecturers,lets see if he can take care of foreign ones.
