nyles:


Whatever the case is, ASUU will come back to classrooms, the FG or ASUU cannot truncate anyone's future. Both parties have no choice, they cannot keep us at home forever. it is still left to us to develop ourselves on our own if we want to succeed in life, ASUU or no FG! I HAVE FOLLOWED this problem for years and i know something is not right somewhere within both parties! This is the kind of post that takes away God and faith and hope from the hearts of men, instead, you should say positive things to encourage people in the face of this stand off! Please restrict your weeping, it is not for us! A man is fighting to cross a river of crocodiles and all you tell him is that wild animals will devour him even if he succeeds??!! We all are aware of the tense situation on ground but some of us have made a decision to stop complaining around and start maintaining determination. it is only us that can change things starting with ourselves. whether you like it or not, those who work, contribute and stay positive will rise above all this confusion and bring Nigeria pride and those who like to analyse without raising a muscle will fade into obscurity Please try to encourage people, you need to see what people post , no one will need to tell you that some are close to suicide, not everyone is strong that is why so many need words of strength; dont increase the depression index for our youths, we have a future by God's grace! . All the same, great post, you are very articulate!

sakaguchi: The hitherto suspended courses at the
University of Abuja - Medicine, Veterinary
Medicine and Agriculture - have been granted
accreditation by the National Universities
Commission (NUC).
The university also received an approval to run
engineering courses.
The suspension and non-approval of the
courses had been one of the major causes of
the crises rocking the institution in recent
times.
The announcement was made by the Chairman
of the Task Team on the accreditation of the
College of Medicine and Visiting Professor to
NUC, Professor Eugene Okpere, after an
inspection of the needed facilities at the
university yesterday, where he added that
while Medical and Agriculture courses had full
accreditation, veterinary medicine had been
given interim accreditation. "All the courses
can, however, take off."
"We are happy to say that University of Abuja
is more than ready to run these courses and
the facilities we see here are even superior to
those in other teaching hospitals," he said.
The institution now has the capacity to run the
affected programmes.
Providing further explanation on the status of
the engineering programme, Okpere said it had
just been granted approval and could now
commence steps to seeking accreditation.
The Vice-Chancellor of the university,
Professor James Adelabu, while speaking with
journalists, said the management carried the
NUC along, while putting the necessary
facilities in place.
He added that this became necessary as the
issue of the non-accreditation of the
programmes entered national discourse.
On the fate of the engineering students
transferred to other schools to complete their
programmes, Adelabu said: "Those that have
not been accepted in those universities will
come back to University of Abuja and we can
see what courses they can fit into.
"The journey to get to where we are today has
not been easy, but we thank God that all is now
over," he said.

sakaguchi: @Nyles and @Wittywizard I pray both of you school/schooled in Uniabuja, because that would torpedo a lot of impression I have formed while following this thread ever since the OP opened it. The write-ups and grammar I have seen here are just terrible, the only time you get to see articulate grammar that makes sense on this thread is when a certain dude Mrpresido and Richiez (I guess) COPY AND PASTE newspaper publication (apart from the copy and paste, even these duo are nothing commendable), every other thing here are eyesores and it is betoken of the fact that Uniabuja is gliding down the ramp to hit rock-bottom when other schools are soaring. Our school can no longer lure bright minds to it, I must say that the applicants here do not give me any reason to cheer and this malignant problem plaguing uniabuja is not the fault of the Government, why is it that the best of best of applicants would rather fill in Unilag, OAU, UI, UNN, Unilorin and leave uniabuja with the least of applicants in all federal universities, that means that our lecturers are also to be blamed in the collapse of education structure here and nationwide, afterall, no Nigerian University is among the elite institutions in Africa, Government and ASUU together with its affiliates (NASU, SSANU) are to be blamed.
January 2012 when ASUU
was on one of their many
strikes, there was this joke
circulating on twitter that
between (ASUU), matchstick
and thunder, who strikes
more? Funny as it sounded, it
only brought humour to an
issue that should be looked
into by our lecturers with a
sombre introspection. ASUU
formed since 1978 are yet to
learn how to combat the
Govt. over its insouciance on
Nigeria's education, in its 35
years of existence, it is yet
to come out with measures
that speaks to the Govt. in
the language they
understand while leaving the
innocent Nigerian students in
schools and in classes
learning the art of life.
Funny how all their industrial
actions are centered on #
MONEY with every other
issues being relegated to the
back-burner. ASUU cannot
claim to have the interest of
the Nigerian students at
heart while they are directly
culpable in adding additional
years to their stint in school.
Even if ASUU were to speak
on the quality of education
and infrastructures available
in our ivory towers, they
consciously avoid mentioning
those far more important
issues in the same breath as
their #MONEY.
Come to think of it, it is not
as if they are not partners in
crime in the deplorable state
of our educational centres
today. Our truculent
erudites are ever willing to
down-tool, a practice that
has seemingly become an
annual event.
Who for God-sake will go on
strike over the poor
knowledge delivery from our
lecturers, it is not new that
harassment of female
students have become a
perennial practice in our
institutions, just last month, a
scapegoat was caught by the
horn in ABU, but these are
practices that occur
everyday in every Nigerian
University.
Who will strike on these crimes committed by ASUU members?
Or that handouts are still
being traded in our schools
and lecturers miss lectures
with impunity.
Who will strike on this?
They talk of salaries and
allowances and yet some are
(unfortunately) barely
qualified to lecture on the
courses they teach.
Back then when I was in
100L, I was lectured in
physics and chemistry as do
many of my colleagues, I can
bet that we could easily swap
position with our lecturers so
that they sit and listen while
we do the talking.
Annoyingly, our knowledge of
physics came entirely from
reading textbooks in that our small library in gwagwalada are not from
our strike-happy lecturers
who with due respect could
do with some lectures
themselves.
So the question still
surface for the umpteenth
time,
who will strike over all
these impropriety by ASUU members?
That being said, it is an
embarrassment that we have
a president who is suppose to
have passed through a
university, if this assertion
is true, it is inexcusable that
he treats education with
such levity. Words on the
street is that he was once a
lecturer,meaning that he too
would have, like his peers,
down-tool severally over this
perennial quagmire, then why
would he display this boorish
actions over legitimate
demands from our teachers?
Ofcourse an easy-to-bring
answer to this last question
is that our leaders have sent
out their wards outside the
shores of this country while
leaving our barely surviving
institutions to plunge into
decrepitude.
So the ultimate question still
remain unanswered,
Who suffers in these
frequent and incessant
strikes ASUU embark on?... #
The Nigerian students
ofcourse...
ThankGod its only ASUU
that is embarking on strike,
not the #INTERNET, that
means our main and primary
source of learning is still
working.
When next ASUU decides to
downtool, they should spare
us the long rhetoric and
state the obvious, their
strike centres on their
already tumescent pockets
not on our best interest. Let
us graduate in peace and in
time and leave our fight for
us to take.
If GEJ who was once a lecturer acts this way, it
brings into askance if your
reason(s) for striking is
internecine among ASUU
members, don't be surprise if the current ASUU chairman (Faggae) becomes a governor and personally see to the death of his state university. @Wittywizard, these people are not sincere jaare,
one thing still stands out as
TRUTH, the Govt officials
are overpaid...
ASUU are (supposedly/
controvertibly) underpaid, so
too is the Military, Police,
Teachers, Nurses etc, if all
these are to down-tool
annually as ASUU is incline
to, I wonder what will be of
our country.
This same ASUU were in
UniAbuja while
administrative incompetence
which led to horrendous
hardship of Medical, Vet and Engineering students
festered right under their
noses while they carried out
their ASUU meetings
unperturbed.
Sha! They should Keep it up!!!
Federal Govt and its
partners in crime (ASUU,
Police and co) are steadily
fanning the flame and Embers of
revolution in this country.

frankluvv: University of Abuja is about to opt out of the lingering ASUU strike. All students start preparing to return to the Capital of Nigeria to continue ur studies. All the new students of Banking and Finance i wish u well. Drop your comments if u r one

kingobasi:
Varsities have started pulling out of ASUU strike
which started in July 1, 2013.. FG/SCE gave a go
ahead today for uninterested Varsities to opt-out
of strike since ASUU is adamant in the
negotiations. FG begged ASUU National to slash
their 2009 demands to 3 out of the list, ASUU says
no that all must be fulfilled. Looking at it, it may
take a long time for the 2009 demands to be
actually fulfilled, meaning we may have to stay at
home for a long time. Adamawa university has
pulled-out. Adamawa ASUU even confronted ASUU
national body for going on strike without due
process. Akanu ibiam varsity just announced
theirs on NTA.
We're awaiting more varsities. Let's keep our
fingers crossed & pray
