The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) will never stop asking for increments, but increase in salaries is not what is urgent in Nigerian universities, but re-engineering the entire academic system from the classroom to the laboratory.

Ineffectual lecturers in ASUU are also clamouring for increments, but they do not have the brains to overhaul and improve the outdated curriculums of their respective faculties. The increments they have been receiving over the years have not freed them from the retrogressive academic stasis that has made majority of their students clones of intellectual underdevelopment or what I call the GIGO Generation who are presently posing and posturing as the Nigerian Facebook Generation.
These lecturers should examine themselves, because many of the members of ASUU are not even qualified to teach and have been found guilty by complicity in various cases of admission racket in Nigerian universities.

The raison d'être of ASUU’s strike is not enough to waste the precious quality time of Nigerian students who need to be on campus studying and not at home!
By going on strike ASUU is making innocent students the scapegoats of their disagreement with the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN).

What is the business of the FGN with the members of ASUU employed by the state owned universities? I mean members of ASUU teaching at the state universities should not have gone on strike with ASUU. This is simple ratiocination.
Many of these lecturers are even moonlighting and have never paid a kobo of tax every time they moonlighted. So who is fooling whom?

Chidi Amuta wrote a very comprehensive analysis of the genesis of the academic crisis that has left the Nigerian academia in intellectual stasis in his “ASSU’s Untidy Robes” published in his column Engagements in This Day newspaper of Nigeria.
ASUU should grow up and stop behaving like confused junior high school pupils.

my friend pls u better say sth else because these guys are doing the ryt thing.

ASUU IS TREACHEROUS. THEY ARE ONLY AFTER THEIR PAY PACKAGES. WHICH THEY DO NOT MERIT.
WHAT DO THEY DO SELF ? SLEEPING WITH STUDENTS, EXTORTING MONEY FROM THEIR CHILDREN. THEY DON`T LONGER GO INTO RESEARCH WHICH THAY COLLECT MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT. THESE PEOPLE ARE TREACHEROUSE.

@ poster.,


May God help u, ur mouth and ur thoughts about ASUU. i for don yab you , but,

They are fighting for their rights, the future of the Nigerian graduates and for the sustainance of the Unis.

If the Fed. Govt cannot look after the Unis, why then were they opened? they would have told us that after Sec. school, go and learn one vocational trade. instead they open schools that they cannot manage/fund

There is money in this country, let them use it.

Long live ASUU!

@ poster. My guy, I dey feel your flow with all this kain grammar wey you dey blow so. This ASUU people are ineffective, though not all, and do they really believe that the FG cares considering that most of their children are abroad, or in some private universities. Both party seem immune, especially FG, in the end it is the students that suffer, those who are not doing "yahoo-yahoo" are busy prostituting about, while some sleep, gist, more sleep and even more gossip. Look at a person like me, if you know how many years I spent at home due to the Nigerian situation before getting admission and now I should be working, but just starting, now strike. Damn! It's so unfair and depressing. My future is in God's hand.

The Federal Government of Nigeria has already made ASUU wiser and ASUU agreed to call off the strike after a meeting of the NEC.

ASUU is more concerned about their own welfare.

@Ibile Ife.

So are u saying the strike has been called off?

ASUU said NEC will give a date for them to return to their classes.
Next week most likely.

So the strike has not been officially called of?

no the strike as not been officially called off, its stil an issue of meetings and discussions, but hopefully, looks like we are getting to the end of it.
