Saying the strike is losing its relevance is like saying the drive to get our universities working is losing its relevance.

Your government spends over 1 trillion every quarter servicing moribund refineries, turns around to tell you it cannot afford a miserly 1.2 trillion to revitalize education in the country, and you buy it hook and sinker like a naive little boy who's just starting out life No be juju be that?

Make we dey try reason for this country na. Future generations should sha do the country a favour by training their kids to be thinkers.
There are way too many idiots on here for one country.
Kilode!

You are rude and one of the many idiots in the country. My quoted message says long overdue which implies the statement has been made but nothing seem to be forthcoming from this govt, they're more. Concerned with the election. It's clear the funds it's there but no consideration for education. ASUU can get what it can from the govt return to school and then have a round table talk with whoever wins the next govt, if this govt commits to its demand now and the next govt can't meet up isn't that another strike.

You don't comprehend what was said but quick to jump on a regularly. Who is on the loosing side no be the common man pikin ? What so ever happens ASUU gets paid for the duration the strike lasted but who compensates the student yet youd not admit how du*m you are.

GTFOMM joor

No vex, both of you mean well. Just different perspectives.

ASUU RASCALITY.
�It's terribly sad that successive Nigerian governments, over the years, have allowed ASUU to hold in captivity, the destiny of young Nigerians.

�The reason being that, when they have raped the nation, they are paid a lump sum in arrears of salaries and wages, for no job done.

�There is no nation where bad and negative behaviours are rewarded positively. This is why the Federal Government MUST stand on it's "No work, No Pay" rule.

�As painful as the current strike is, this stand of the Federal Government, will put a PERMANENT end to the incesstant greedy and selfish strikes that favours only the ASUU Executives.

�The ASUU executives, have union dues to live on for as long as the strikes last. The Lecturers who pay the dues, are left with no salaries for months on end. The Lecturers can help by demanding to know how their dues have been spent and that it's not funding the extravagant lifestyles of those they entrusted the funds to.

�So why are the Lecturers not concerned? They are also, the ones who teach in private universities so they earn in those places too. Teaching in four different universities ensure that they are not committed nor dedicated to any of their unfortunate students.

�"The Congress of University Academics (CONUA) has asked the federal government to conclude its registration. CONUA has been seeking formal recognition for about four years since it's members broke away from the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). -@PremiumTimes

In my myopic opinion, this union should be registered and recognised. The Federal Government needs to look into this. It's a viable alternative to the morbidly politicised ASUU.

�The Government of Muhammadu Buhari has expended a total of ₦6,003,947,848,237 in capital and recurrent expenditure in the education sector, in the past 7 years. In addition, there're interventions from TETFUND and UBEC amounting to ₦2.5 Trillion and ₦553,134,967,498 in capital investments, respectively

�JAMB now remits billions of Naira to the Federal Government. What happens to the Tuition fees paid by Nigerian students in Universities? Just asking.

�This ASUU rascality will be the last prolonged strike by ASUU in Nigeria. We are getting there. As we say in England, "It gets worse before it gets better."

�Please stand by your government to win this final battle for Nigerian students and Nigeria.

�God bless Nigeria.
Lauretta Onochie.

This is all a deliberate plot by the evil apc.

ASUU strike will be called off before election campaign starts.

the plan is to lure the undergrads to vote for apc.

note this: when campaign starts, the economy of this country will seemingly begin to get better.

it is all a political plot by apc to cajole Nigerians into a false belief that apc can fix the country.

don't fall for that trick.

My thought pattern all along, I may be stupidly wrong tho.

ASUU members mean serious business.

Lamentably, the students are the ones who will bear the brunt.

The students won't bear any brunt, trust. The labour market is waiting for them fully. Let them learn a skill (tech precisely). We are about to see a revolution of education in Nigeria. Time to lead the way in Africa and do away with physical four walls of schools.

Hybrid is the way now.

I’m very paranoid when talking to retar.ds, why would one person own all this stupidit.y?? angry

You mentioned the students loan as obtainable abroad, doesn’t it work for them? Do the kids go on incessant strikes?? How’s it a burden if you get value for your loan?

Why wouldn’t the government try that out? Certainly not, how would they impoverish nonentities like you so they can keep you at their feet.

What benefits exactly are you saying lecturers currently enjoy??

I’ve been discussing with an average,repressed black man. Bye
You need to be in America or interact with an American to know about student loan.
Many of them end up paying that loan for the rest of there lives coz interest keep piling up and don't be deceived, if they earn as much as there degree after university, many won't still be in debt after years....

*Just sharing... for your "enlightenment"*������

Many are ignorant of _*what ACADEMIC WORK is all about...*_

_*Academic work is not FACTORY WORK.*_ ASUU strike is not a strike by Post-office workers, or strike by Textile workers. Yes, during ASUU Strike, Lectures do not take place and Students are not graduated.
But _*SERIOUS MANDATORY RESEARCH*_ never stops.
CONTINUED EDUCATION of individual Academics for sharpening proficiency never stops.
GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT of Academic units with the GRID of International Academia never stops.
The very day Mandatory Research, Continued honing of skills and Engagement with Global Academia stop in a University that is the day the University ceases to be a University.
The University is a totally different entity in the scheme of things. Its work, its modus operandi and its goals are unique in Society. You can't treat a University as a Railway station, a Tricycle manufacturing company or a Cocoa processing factory. The average Academic does not work 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday. He or she works 24 hours many days in a week. A Lecturer may be locked up in the Lab or be hunched over his/her computer at home up till 3am or 5:30am for 3 to 4 days or occassionally 6 days in a week; because his/her academic responsibilities compel him or her.
Woe betides that lecturer who loathes such regular sacrifices critical for the sustenance of his/her quality of research, intellectual proficiency and connectivity to the Grid of international Academia. RESEARCH, PROFICIENCY SHARPENING, & INTEGRATION INTO THE GLOBAL ACADEMIA GRID constitute the HEART BEAT of any University. When the Heart beat ceases for any reason, the University dies. In any University "Strike", the Heart beat goes on. Yes, there are no Lectures and no Graduations during strikes but the Heart beat goes on.

I now wish to address what is called "ASUU STRIKE"; a phenomenon that is grosssly distorted by Government, mostly misunderstood by stakeholders, (Parents, Students, Society), and viciously weaponised by Bureaucrats and despicable mischief makers.
What is often called "ASUU STRIKE" is actually WHISTLE BLOWING; not irresponsible French Leave or Dereliction of duty.
Before any ASUU strike, relevant Government agencies are informed and informed repeatedly, of failure of Government to meet its statutory obligations and the way such dereliction of duty on the part of the Government is negatively impacting Academia and the quality of graduates spewed out of Universities. ASUU is drawing attention to failure to meet legal obligations and the danger to society of poor quality graduates. There are two issues here : (1) LEGAL, (2) MORAL.
ASUU is saying, Sir, there is a BREACH OF CONTRACT, please rectify it ASAP. This negligence is negatively impacting our ability to produce quality graduates and ipso facto damaging the society at large. We shall not be party to this assault on the Nation. This is shortchanging critical stakeholders and this is mortgaging of the soul of the nation. We shall therefore halt production of dangerous, inept and compromised graduates until such a time as relevant Government agencies meet their statutory obligations and create the enabling environment for the production of quality graduates.
ASUU BLEW THE WHISTLE ON ITS EMPLOYER.
It was an Intellectual duty. It was a patriotic initiative. It was a moral imperative.
That Government has finally agreed to virtually all the "DEMANDS OF ASUU" is confirmation (1) that Government was guilty as charged of dereliction of duty, (2) that Government was in breach of legally binding agreements and (3) that Government is liable to damages for breach of contract and endangerment of Society.
For perspectives let's look at one Scenario.
A group of workers discovered an unacceptable level of Mercury in packaged Sardinns. The workers informed the Management and asked the Management to meet its obligation to fund the Quality control protocols of the factory. For months Management refused to respond and insisted Sardines must continue to be profuced for local and international Markets The workers gave notice that if Management does not respond appropriately by a certain date, they will not in good conscience continue to package Mercury-tainted Sardinns. Management refused to budge. Workers shut down production. Management called for negotiation, agreed they were at fault, released funds for robust Quality control protocols to ensure Mercury free Sardin but said they would not pay salaries for the eight months that the factory was shut down. The workers went to court to sue Management for (1) breach of contract to provide funds for Quality control Protocols that Management agreed to in previous agreements with workers (2) damages for blackmailing workers to compel them to participate in the criminal production of
poisoned Sardines, (3) damages for endangering health and lives of consumers of Sardines at home and abroad.
Wistle blowers are not villains. They are Heroes. They have the higher moral ground. Wistleblowing must never be criminalised. It ought to be applauded, celebrated and generously compensated.

One final note. The withheld ASUU salary has been budgeted for and remains in the Treasury.
If not given to the true owners it will never be returned to the Treasury.
It will disappear into the accursed bellies of a few diabolic Bureaucrats who were originally responsible for the cruel, criminal and callous misdemeanour and shameful display of buffoonery by the Government for several months. It would tantamount to abdication of both Common sense and betrayal of the Nation to allow Government to get away with this shenanigan.

foolish lecturers so without government they cannot fund university education.no commitment, they really need to check their head if they are waiting on government to change the status quo. 4yrs courses is 6yrs and still running yet no assured career path. ASUU is the biggest corruption to happen to nigeria

4gunners:
The issue with people like you is that emotions always prevail. ASUU has been going on strike how many times now? Since 1990s. DO you think ASUU will not still go on strike next year or two years time? Only a foolish man does the same thing over and over again and expect different result. ASUU should find other means to get their demands met. A lot of people have suggested that they sponser a bill. 6 months of my life was put on hoild while in school, and the same thing is happening to my younger brother. ASUU keeps wasting people's time because of unionism. Shameful lot.
but the chairman of ASUU union said that the reason while the strike has stayed for this long is because they (ASUU) don't want to continue making the same mistake they have made since the 1990's and then in the future embark on another strike
Even though I don't believe on that trash he spewed.
Our useless and demonic leaders should for once try and be reasonable and yield to ASUU's demand for the sake of our youth.

ASUU should yet again resume, and get what it can from a government that has proven time and time again to be untrustworthy, since the dawn of its administration!
What did I just read?
Hostels are overcrowded, labs are grossly lacking in tools, research work is zilch, libraries are shii, power dead, everything that makes a university what it should be in the 21st Century is totally absent, yet this buffoon expects business to continue as usual?
I talk am na. Dumbos can't think. They can't even fail at it. It's his type getting ready to vote APC and failure back into power. Oniranu.


Again, future parents should do Nigeria a favour by making sure their kids do not to end up as useless as this idiot on here. It's the least we can all do to salvage this country.


Leave that bros abeg.
