Kasssandra:


Nope, either

1,Government increases fees

2.Government finds more money...by taxes, removing subsidies on petrol...

3.Or we accept the status quo ante, and accept our bad universites...as they are.


Seems you want option 3. Well, you are rich, because you can afford to send your kids to the better private schools or abroad...while government schools get by on poor funding...

JJuanMiguel:

ASUU need to be punished by their selfish, needless action first.
9 months in 2020
8 months in 2022
What exactly is their aim trying to use a problem to solve a problem?

The combination of number 1 and 2 is the best.

Londonderry:

When you fail to keep an agreement and the opponent down tools because of that, you don't refuse to pay because if there were no breach on your part the strike wouldn't have happened.

Oblivion34:
In my defense, ASUU has always been unreasonable in negotiations with the federal government.

ASUU were insisting on suffering themselves and the poor students by not calling off the strike.

They also claimed to be ok with the "No work, No Pay" policy. [color=#990000][/color]

Aside from that, we'll always see them insult the government at any given chance; either on social media or live TV.

They also said they were never going to beg the government because they were clearly the boss of them and not the other way around.

Why should they be paid when they were willing to stress the strike up until the next year unless they get what they want?

Why should they paid when they told students to sacrifice two years of their time for them?

Why can't they also sacrifice their salaries for the cause?

It's important to note that ASUU was willing to stress the strike for as long as they want because they were 100% sure of their paycheck before or after the strike has been called off. [color=#990000]

If they get paid, who will compensate the students?

I am sure the students have already been compensated with exam timetables. And lecturers are preparing to come and stamp their foot on the ground in lecture theaters to brag about how they'll get paid whether they come to class or not.

I want to implore the federal government to adhere strictly to the "No work, No pay" policy.

This is the only way we can use to break ASUU's wing and allow our students to graduate at the appropriate time.


How long will the government keep begging ASUU? Year after year, ASUU must declare a strike!

In my opinion, the salary issue should also be tabled at the court of law. I will love to see them win that case in court

The "No work, No Pay" policy must stand in other to curb yearly strikes.

Curious345:
Yes ..

Absolutely yes they do..

If I was a lecturer ,I will not return to teach until I am paid

Kasssandra:


The issue is, when you have spent extra years in school, not because of academic issues, but because ASUU went on strike a year before you wrote Jamb for 11 months....and then continued in your 200 level...you don't want to hear about 'they are doing it for better funding'

Not when your parents are spending money...a lot of it, to keep you in school. And when even when you are still at home...and your parents are spending money to keep you fed.....

At some point, the reasons make no sense, and one becomes an ASUU critic.

Me I know the reasons, and I know the solution. And the solution...raised fees...is not acceptable

At the end, people want to get university finished quickly.

oluwaseyi0:
Of cause, the government caused the strike

The only thing Nigeria government understand is strike, dialoguing with Buhari while you are still going to work is a waste of time

lawrenzooo:


If parents want their kids to graduate on time they know what to do (send your child to a private school or better still send them over seas). Its either ASUU allow government raise the fees or back down on their demands. If we want quality education we should be ready to pay for it or accept whatever ASUU and FG throw at us.

Barims:


U guys are just saying rubbish, how much are the student getting paid??

abobote:
Yes they deserve their salary.
The strike caused by the Federal government inability to keep to the agreement. Its not the fault of the lecturers

TemmyT002:
We shouldn't be asking this question.
The senators and representatives enjoy a lot of frivolous money and they have never been owed for a day.
Meanwhile, their usefulness is nothing. They are not really needed.
Priority should be on the lecturers who are ten times more useful.

TemmyT002:



This is shallow thinking, sir. Very shallow.
Nigeria is a country working at 30% capacity. Nothing is working. A serious country will prioritize education because politicians.
Our politicians are almost useless. They only take actions when they are personally affected.
They get huge salaries and big amounts of money . They even get nonsense called hardship money. They get huge amount of money for snacks and pocket money.
Meanwhile, Nigeria needs that money.
Ask yourself, if the government gives lecturers all they are asking for, why would they strike?

Oblivion34:
The ASUU President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke had in a recent interview noted that the lecturers had called off their action and returned to work but were challenged by the nonpayment of their eight months salaries which had posed a huge challenge for the lecturers to meet their daily needs and be able to discharge their responsibilities to the returning university students.

Mr. Odiir said the returning lecturers might not give their best because of the obvious challenge of lack of funds, “and that means that the universities would be reopened but teaching and learning might not take place because the lecturers are not motivated.


“So we are appealing to the Federal Government to fulfill its part of the bargain to effect the payment of the salaries of the returning lecturers to enable them fully resume work.

“There is no doubt that the lecturers would obey the court ruling and resume classes but they would certainly not be able to engage in lecturing if they don’t start getting their eight months salaries.


“That is why the Federal Government should pay them without further delay in the spirit of the agreement brokered by the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

“We also appeal to the Speaker to do a follow up to the good work he initiated to have the lecturers call off the action by impressing on all the relevant authorities to have the salaries paid so that our public universities can roar back to life.

slivertongue:


Well they have a case but keeping students at home knowing full well that govt won't give in to their demands is heartless. It's false that they are fighting for the students, they care more about salaries.

fredoooooo:
Yes, they already get it from the opposition party that pushed them into it.

Uyi168:
...
since students are getting absolutely nothing, I whole heartedly support the no work no pay.

Londonderry:

You should not enter an agreement you don't intend to keep, doing so is fraudulent. If they have been dissatisfied with the agreement, they should have called for renegotiation not renege. They are responsible for the suffering inflicted on the students that is why NANS is not blaming ASUU but the Fed Govt who started the fight.

rizingsun:
I believe that lecturers should be paid their past salaries because they will still teach the students all that they were supposed to be taught.
If you deny them their salaries, should the student be graduated to the next level/class without teaching and examination?
If this holds, third year students will then graduate and pass out. collect their their certificates and proceed to NYSC scheme.
So if the lecturers will teach the omitted schemes and examine the students as they should, then they deserve to be paid.
This is a postponed job that must be done before going forward.
