Amyjustin: A frnd jst tld me dey've called off d strike, so i rushed here 2 check .....so disappointed. Mtcheeeewww

'mtcheeewww' for who? Government or ASUU or we on nairaland?

I am not in support of fg's new directive,i would say it is rather harsh but i would tel you why as much as both sides have thier blame,ASUU caries the most. 1) Pres GEJ carried himself and sat with ASUU for 13 hours+(night vigil precisely) to hear of all thier problms and profer solution,wasnt that the bst time to tel hm all they wanted? But no,this men felt fg had beat them to it so they decided to go back to restrategise,that took them 3 weeks,dn afta meetings,votings,deaths,7 days mourning for 1 man at d expence of a whole country and secreat andventures this people appear to say Goverment shud pay dem five months salaries(watever letter says dy dint ask for dier salary is a bloody lie) nt just pay them thier salaries buh he shouldnt evn pay them instalmentaly buh everything at once like they arnt aware of the labour law that states that a strike that eceds 3 months deserve no salary . It is high time fg takes a stand because ASUU are becoming mini Gods who do what dey want when they want it,imagne a person working for pay teling the public that even if the school resumes dier wont be teachn til afta iyayi's buriel like hes doing charity work! I want us to realise that what Got fg angry was the salary part, as for the disbursment of d 200m in central bank an signing agreement,it was the fg that even brot d idea and am sure d president would have signd amicable if it ws just that. As for the part of renegociation of 2009 agreement nxt yr,am totaly lost,what are they negociating now? Wise ASUU wants to renegociate next year so they would stike again,afteral who wont wanna stay at home for five months an get paid for having several meetings. Abt fg not giving them the promisd 100b,why dint dey talk since and wasnt it this money fg relasd long time ago that we even heard that ssanu and nasu shared amongst themselves?

otokx:

The truth be told ASUU is not going to loose anything; the only students that lost are the rich ones who shunned school accommodation and went to stay in off campus apartments.

Otokx, stop getting urself decieved, in UNIPORT there where you school, do they have enough accomodation for every student? Infact, are 200 level student and above allowed to grace the hostels?

otokx:

ASUU is asking government to build more hostels and classrooms but you guys do not support ASUU and now you are complaining about hostel accommodation. Please do not complain, keep renting.

Otokx, am beginning to smell someone close to you as an ASUU member but, don't worry you must know wattsup. Ask him/her what they've being using our school fees(including Predegrees, regular, Post graduates and others) for, ask him/her what they do with the PTF, ETF, TETFUND and also ask them if they do recieve any external donation. Or do they use it to pay lecturers

You should ask your student union leaders what they do with the dues collected from students plus the money extorted from business operators in the name of matriculation, convocation, etc.

I think this ASUU self should be disbanded they are causing problem to students, they aren't trustworthy there claimed there were fighting for student meanwhile there are fighting for their selves, if SUG go protest for student d next thing lecturers go say make dem stop SUG I see no reason y FG shouldn't do d same

Lecturers boys quarters goes for about 100k a year, those sport hostels like presidential goes for 50k for a space, others like aminu kano nd kwame nkrumah is approx 20k, so i tynk its equally xpensive. Offcampus accomodation ranges from 50k to 170k. Depends on ur pick. So its equally d same tyn. Am talking of UNIPOrT here. So u can do ur deductions urself.

The Federal Government has
directed the Inspector General of
Police, Alhaji Mohammed
Abubakar, to deploy policemen to
all federal universities in the
country in its bid to ensure
resumption of academic
activities in universities on or
before December 4.
Saturday PUNCH learnt this
development was disclosed at
an emergency meeting the
Federal Government held with
all vice-chancellors of federal
universities at the National
Universities Commission building
in Abuja on Friday. The Acting
Minister of Education, Chief
Nyesom Wike, and the Executive
Secretary of the NUC, Prof Julius
Okojie, were also at the meeting.
Though Friday’s meeting was
held behind closed door, a
source at the meeting who
craved anonymity because he
was not authorised to speak with
the press, told Saturday PUNCH
that the Federal Government
directed the IG to draft
policemen to federal universities
to prevent members of the
Academic Staff Union of
Universities from disturbing
some of their members that
might want to resume work in
line with government’s directive.
The meeting, Saturday PUNCH
further learnt, also discussed
other modalities for calling off
the bluff of ASUU whose
members have been on strike
for over five months.
The Friday meeting began at
9am and lasted for two hours.
Part of the meeting’s
deliberations, Saturday PUNCH
gathered, also centred on how to
recruit new lecturers to fill the
space of ASUU members who
might refuse to obey
government’s directive. Also,
the vice-chancellors were
directed to call students back to
campus on Sunday in
preparation for academic
activities which should start on
Monday.
Wike, had on Thursday ordered
lecturers to resume duties on or
before December 4 or face being
sacked summarily by the Federal
Government.
Saturday PUNCH learnt that
already Okojie had been
mandated to start the process
of recruiting new lecturers by
placing vacancy adverts in
international journals and media.
Also, the vice-chancellors were
directed to open registers in
their institutions where ASUU
members that resume work
would sign so that those who
failed to resume could be sacked.
Saturday PUNCH further learnt
that the Federal Government was
planning to adopt the Ghanaian
method where lecturers were
asked to re-apply for their jobs
after two years of strike.
“Not all lecturers are members
of ASUU. Most professors don’t
belong to the union, people
think every lecturer in public
university is a member of ASUU,
which is not true. Government
means business this time around
and it is going to call off the
bluff of ASUU,’’ the source
explained.
Nigerian universities are
currently in need of at least
30,000 lecturers because of acute
shortage of lecturers in the
university system..
There are also indications that
the Federal Government and
university lecturers may be
heading for a clash as the
December 4 deadline given by
the Federal Government for the
lecturers to return to work is
also the date set aside by ASUU
to bury a former President of the
union, Prof. Festus Iyayi.
Iyayi died in a ghastly auto
accident along the Abuja-Lokoja
Road when the vehicle in which
he was travelling had a collision
with the convoy of Governor
Idris Wada of Kogi State on
November 12, 2013.
The former ASUU chairman was
on his way to Kano to attend a
crucial meeting of the union
which was called to deliberate on
the Federal Government’s offer
to the lecturers.
The Federal Government had
claimed it decided to go tough on
ASUU because the union made
fresh demands in its letter to
the government as a condition
for calling off the lingering strike
action.
ASUU had demanded payment of
the four-month salary arrears of
its members from July when the
strike commenced and the
release of N200bn that
President Goodluck Jonathan
promised to inject into the
university system within the next
two weeks.
The union also said the
agreement reached between it
and the Federal Government
should be signed by the Minister
of Justice and the Attorney
General of the Federation.
Though the President of ASUU,
Dr. Nasir Faggae, refused to pick
his calls and also did not
respond to a text message sent
to him on the latest
development, the Enugu State
Police Command confirmed that
its men had been directed to
man universities to quell any
protest that might result from
the Federal Government’s order
on lecturers to resume work on
or before Wednesday.
The command told Saturday
PUNCH that police officers had
also been directed to be
stationed at the universities to
forestall any disturbance from
various groups or lecturers on
Monday.
“There is no cause for alarm and
we are combat ready in the
event of any violence or
disturbance,” the Police Public
Relations Officer in the state, Mr.
Ebere Amaraizu, said.
Also, the Police Public Relations
Officer, Akwa Ibom State
Command, Mr. Etim Dickson,
confirmed that the police had
been mandated to provide
security for lecturers that want
to resume work against
molestation by their other
colleagues, who may not want
them to do so.
“We are not going to their
houses to force them to come
and teach in the universities.
Even though the Federal
Government has taken a stance,
we are not in the military rule to
molest lecturers,” he said.
But reacting to the latest
development, the Chairman,
ASUU, UNIBEN chapter, Emina-
Monye, said ASUU members were
not bothered about
government’s latest strategy.
He said, “They can go ahead with
that. We are not perturbed. Let
them call the police; let them
advertise vacant positions and
see how many international
scholars will want to accept what
Nigerian university lecturers are
taking- let them go ahead.”
Also, ASUU branch at the
University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom
State, said government’s
directive was an attempt to
waste students’ time.
The UNIUYO ASUU Chairman, Dr.
Nwachukwu Anyim, said in Uyo
on Friday that Nigeria was no
longer in a military era and so
lecturers could not be coerced
by anybody to work against their
wish. He said, We will see how
they will come to our homes and
force us to resume work.
“Only the Federal Government
can tell the world what it has in
mind. We have a shortfall of
60,000 lecturers in the university
system. If they are advertising
this one, it means they must
have an idea of where they are
going to put them, and they
must be people who are going to
work without equipment.”
However, the University of
Nigeria chapter of ASUU on
Friday said its members would
not resume work until their
demands are met.
The UNN-ASUU also described
the Minister of Education, Wike,
as a “tout”.
The union, however, told
Saturday PUNCH that it won’t
react officially to Wike’s order
until President Goodluck
Jonathan speaks.
“We have not heard from the
President, so we cannot speak
officially on the matter. It would
be senseless to begin to react to
a statement from Wike since he
is a tout,” said Dr. Ifeanyi Abada,
Chairman of UNN-ASUU.
Abada said that Wike’s order
cannot hold and vowed that
ASUU would unleash terror if the
minister attempts to carry out
the order.

There is no deductions to be made, specifics were mentioned and as usual you beat around the bush like the FG is doing dodging the points raised creating a false impression of a great university.

Re-Opening of Universities: Vice Chancellors
meet Education Minister in Abuja
Posted by: admin in Education, featured post

Supervising Minister of Education, Barr.
Ezenwo Nyesom Wike and Vice Chancellors of
Federal Universities on Friday held a closed
door meeting at the Conference Hall of the
Federal Ministry of Education, Abuja.
Also at the meeting were top officials of the
Federal Ministry of Education and the
management of the National Universities
Commission, NUC.
It was learnt that the meeting discussed the re-
opening of the universities and the steps to be
taken for the conduct of examinations in most
of the schools.
The meeting lasted two hours. The Vice
Chancellors after the meeting clustered round
the National Universities Commission, NUC,
Executive Secretary, Prof. Julius Okojie for
further consultation.
All the Vice Chancellors proceeded to the
National Universities Commission for a follow
up of their deliberations.
A vice chancellor who pleaded anonymity told
Scan News that the advertisement for internal
and external vacancies was decided to ensure
that fresh lecturers are introduced into the
system. He added that even ASUU admitted
that the nation has a shortfall of 60,000
lecturers, which means the advertisements are
in order.
He said: “We suggested to the government that
new qualified and enthusiastic hands are
employed to re-invigorate the university
system. We want to create an atmosphere of
massive development in the sector. Beginning
Wednesday, December 4, 2013 we shall have
the registers all over the campuses and those
who show up will be expected to sign and
move to the classes”.
It was learnt that the Federal Government has
detailed plan cloth policemen and State
Security Operatives to work with the NUC to
monitor Vice Chancellors for compliance. They
stated that vice chancellors found to be
attempting to frustrate the resumption order
will be sacked by their Governing Councils.
A source at the Presidency said that many
Nigerians fail to appreciate the political will of
President Jonathan to rescue Nigeria from the
clutches of impunity. According to the source,
former President Obasanjo and his military
predecessors tried to privatise PHCN, but
failed woefully. He stated that Nigerians are
living witnesses to how President Jonathan
successfully privatised PHCN and has
commissioned power plants across the
country.
The Presidency source said: “This programme
is for the good of Nigerian people. Nobody
can be allowed to destroy our public
universities. All these ASUU executives have
their children schooling in other countries and
they are not affected by the strike. This
programme will succeed”.

4 more days!!!!!!!!!!.

.finger crossed!

Very funny that ASUU executives have their children schooling in other countries. There is a difference between lies and truth.

This is just by the way, most of us might not resume to school this december but for those that will,what eyes will u use to look at d lecturers that will b coming for lectures in case dis threat saga favours d fg...cowards,obedient,fearfull,desperate for money.ofcourse u will have something flowing in ur sub consious mind when u set ur eyes on them

FG vs ASUU season1
From inception, ASUU demanded almost 500b, 400b for infrastructure, 100b for allowance; FG cannot pay, want renegotiation. After 4 month of disagreement, the meeting is concluded among ASUU and FG(president). ASUU come back with conditions - 200b plus four to five month arrears even not in piecemeal. Now, 200b+arrears+30b (allowance already given them) = almost 500b, which they are already asking for these year, what a smart game by educationist. FG sees these, they reverse and say- well play. FG now use their 'joker' by order them to go back to work. If ASUU comply, they play loose game! SEASON2 have already stated, Let see what happen next...
