Bear With Us; FG Appeals To Students, Parents Over ASUU Strike  on August 1, 2013  The Federal Government has appealed to students over the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities saying that it is committed to the speedy resolution of the crisis for the sake of Nigerian students. Speaking to State House correspondents after Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting, Minister of Information, Labaran Maku said the government was committed to “serious negotiations” with the university lecturers. He therefore appealed to the students and parents to bear with government and show more understanding as efforts are being made to find a lasting solution to the problem at hand. “The federal government has been far more worried than you think concerning the strike in tertiary institutions, because of the disruption of the school calendar and so government is concerned and very worried and since the onset of the strike government has been negotiating with ASUU through the Ministry of Labour and Productivity and the Ministry of Education. “As at today we know that this negotiations are going on and it is our expectation that this strike will not get more protracted and that an understanding will be reached soon enough to enable our students return back to school. Government is very worried and concerned every time the school calendar is disrupted, it has its cost to the nation, particularly the idle time our children spend at home can lead to a lot of social difficulties. “We don’t want school calendars to be disrupted and a lot of series of discussions have been going on and we believe we should record some progress soon enough for these schools to open and the Minister of Labour and education will be giving quarter briefing on the progress of these negotiation and I know that it has never cease. “So we are appealing to our people particularly parents and children of this nation to bear with us, to show more understanding and we pray that this type of strike will not re-occur, because the public school system suffers a lot of damage with the perennial strikes. The universities have been relatively stable since the advent of this Administration. The outraged strikes that we inherited we have tried to resolve them, and if you notice in the last two years there has not been a lot of strikes until this unfortunate one and I believe we will overcome it and in the end both parties will appreciate the need to keep the school calendar stable for the progress of our country. So government is working hard to ensure we reach an agreement to resolve this problem so that or schools can re-open” he said. |

ASUU strike: FG assures of speedy resolution Our Reporter  From JULIANA TAIWO-OBALONYE, Abuja The Federal Government has admitted its concern about the distortion in the school calendar, assuring on the speedy resolution to end the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). The government said it has engaged the lecturers in ‘serious negotiations’. It is also worried about the fall-out of the lingering strike and its effect on the students, hence, the urgency to end the industrial action as quickly as possible. Minister of Information Labaran Maku stated the government’s resolve at the end of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting chaired by President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja yesterday, urging parents and the affected students to bear with government and show more understanding as efforts are being made to resolve the issues very soon. Maku said the Federal Government had indeed been worried since the onset of the strike, particularly as there are always social costs incurred by disruption of academic calendar. “The Federal Government has been far more worried than you think, concerning the strike in tertiary institutions, because of the disruption of the school calendar and so, government is concerned and very worried and since the onset of the strike, government has been negotiating with ASUU through the Ministries of Labour and Productivity and Education. “As at today, we know that negotiations are going on and it is our expectation that this strike will not get more protracted and that an understanding will be reached soon enough to enable our students return to school. Government is very worried and concerned every time the school calendar is disrupted, it has its cost to the nation, particularly the idle time our children spend at home can lead to a lot of social difficulties. “We don’t want school calendars to be disrupted and a lot of series of discussions have been going on and we believe we should record some progress soon enough for these schools to re-open and the Ministers of Labour and Education will be giving briefings on the progress of these negotiations and I know that it has never ceased. “So, we are appealing to our people, particularly parents and children of this nation, to bear with us, to show more understanding and we pray that this type of strike will not re-occur, because the public school system suffers a lot of damage with the perennial strikes. The universities have been relatively stable since the advent of this administration. The strikes that we inherited, we have tried to resolve them, and if you notice in the last two years, there has not been a lot of strikes until this unfortunate one and I believe we will overcome it and in the end, both parties will appreciate the need to keep the school calendar stable for the progress of our country. So, government is working hard to ensure we reach an agreement to resolve this problem, so that our schools can re-open”. Meanwhile, FEC has approved a contract of N2.99 billion for the rehabilitation/construction of the Calabar-Ugep section of the Katsina-Ala/Ogoja/Ugep/Calabar Road. The earlier section of the road which is already 80 per cent complete, was awarded for N4.6 billion, thus bringing the total contract sum for the entire road to N7.5 billion Minister of State for Works, Bashir Yuguda, explained that the contractor, Piccolo Brunelli, which handled the first phase, was asked to continue with the extension since it was already on site and had done a very good job. Yuguda recalled that “the first phase of the project aimed at addressing the heavily distressed sections of the road while other sections not captured in the original contract scope of works would be addressed when funds became available. “This is to ensure that government and the public get the full benefits of the investment made on the roads in terms of improvement of the level of service,” he siad. The council also considered a memo to provide a template for economic analysis of projects before they are included in the budget for appropriation. According to Maku, this template will also include environmental assessment and will ensure that henceforth, projects must follow the masterplan of the Federal Government’s Transformation Agenda. Although there is existing assessment, FEC intends the new template to constitute a scientific and thorough analysis of projects, and decided to continue further deliberations on the memo at subsequent meetings of the council. A FEC committee was also set up to further study the synergy among several factors that come into play in the Public-Private-Partnership involved in power/electricity projects in the country. |

@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. .......Emmanuel. 1 Like |

Do not judge all Abuja students too quickly although i have met a couple and i am not proud of them at all...I MEAN at all. I still believe that there are worthy students in this university even with the situation of things. Lets Just be a little optimistic in the midst of this nasty hurly-burly and keep developing ourselves in the process. As for ASUU, I do know that most of them are not sincere in their pursuits but there is nothing they can do to impede our future, THAT'S for certain. |

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 |

Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar III By Mohammed Aminu and Damilola Oyedele The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar III, Monday frowned on the way Muslims were being tagged as fundamentalists in the country, saying suicide bombers were not representing Islam but were mere criminals, who should be dealt with according to the laws of the land. He also appealed to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), to call off the strike and embrace dialogue with the federal government in order to bring an end to the impasse. Speaking during a dinner with journalists in his palace in Sokoto Sunday night, the monarch stated that Islam abhorred terrorism and the taking of life of innocent people without due process, adding that there was no plan whatsoever to emasculate any religion in the North. The Sultan, who expressed sadness over the strike embarked upon by ASUU, lamented that students spend seven years in some universities and graduate without acquiring education. He stressed the need for ASUU and the federal government to go back to the negotiating table, with a view to finding a lasting solution to the problem. "We are now back to square one and we seem not to have a solution at hand to solve the problem. As fathers, we will continue to plead. So, I am pleading with ASUU to call off the strike and for the federal government to be given a chance to fulfil its obligation. "I believe ASUU and the federal government should give dialogue a chance. We must find a common ground. Negotiation is a give and take and people should negotiate based on mutual respect. "I don't believe in strike action because students suffer in the end. We want to see education move to greater heights in this country. So, this should be an issue of give and take and what ASUU will give should be what the federal government will be able to afford. So, I call on ASUU to suspend the strike action, resume talks and go back to the negotiating table so that we can make progress,” he advised. But despite the several appeals ASUU has said the federal government had not shown any commitment to warrant the suspension of the strike, which was currently in its sixth week. According to the ASUU Chairman (UniAbuja campus), Dr. Clement Chuks, although some discussions were ongoing, there were no negotiations as the union expected nothing less than the implementation of the already existing 2009, Agreement. Chuks in a telephone conversation with THISDAY Monday, said there was no visible commitment on the part of the federal government even from the discussions held so far. He maintained that ASUU stood by the existing agreement and demands its implementation. Chuks dismissed the recent pronouncements by some government officials that the strike would soon be called off. He urged the government officials to play their part and see to the implementation of the agreement. "Maybe, they are just being prophetic, they cannot call the strike off for us. There are procedures for embarking on strike and calling it off," he said. Meanwhile, the Sultan has maintained that there was no compulsion in religion, and as such, no true Muslim would use force to compel others to convert to Islam. "So, if anybody wants to wage a war to compel others to convert to Islam whereas Almighty Allah said in the Holy Quran that there is no compulsion in religion, then that person is not a true Muslim and not acting for Islam. "Therefore, I want to call on all those who think that what is happening in the North in particular is a plan to exterminate other religions, to have a rethink because there is no plan to emasculate any religion. "It is indeed sad that Muslims are being tagged as terrorists in the media in this country. I have never heard of Christian terrorists but all we hear in the media is Muslim terrorists, when it happens to be a Muslim. This issue is everywhere in the world where people are tagged Islamic fundamentalists. "As long as we continue to label other people negatively because of the religion they belong to or certain activities being done by a particular religion, then we will continue to have a problem. Why not treat such terrorists as common criminals and deal with them according to the laws of the land?" the monarch asked. Speaking further, he said leaders should give justice to the people in the discharge of their duties. On the 2015 elections, the monarch urged Nigerians to pray to God to give them leaders who would take the country out of her present situation, adding: "As traditional leaders, we will always keep on praying to God to give us leaders that will lead us right and take us to the promised land." The Sultan also commended the Peace and Reconciliation Foundation of Nigeria led by Mr Solomon Dalung, for its efforts in promoting peace and unity in the North, especially in Kaduna and Plateau States. "These youths are doing what the elders should do. The elders in the North are busy fanning the embers of hatred, instability, disharmony, ethnicity and religion for selfish reasons. It is sad that these elders are in the comfort of their homes, while the sons and daughters of the poor are being killed. "So, I am happy that these youths have taken it upon themselves to correct things that are not going well in the polity. These youths are working to ensure that there is peace, stability and unity among different ethnic groups and religions in the North and I commend them for that," the Sultan stated. 1 Like |

ASUU Warns Candidates On Post-UTME The striking Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has warned that successful candidates at the various 2013 post-UTME examinations to government owned Universities may not be recognised if offered admission from the exercise. ASUU.1The union also described as cheap “political statement” the pronouncement of Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue State that the strike would be over on Thursday, insisting that the strike would only be suspended if government implements all the components in the 2009 agreement and the 2012 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Disclosing these in Minna on Wednesday, the Chairman of the Federal University of Technology, Minna, ASUU chapter, Dr. Abdulfatai Jimoh, said that none of its members would be involved in the conduct the post-UTME for over 3000 candidates slated for Friday and Saturday in the institution. Jimoh, who was briefing journalists on the level of compliance by his members to the industrial action, warned that “any student admitted through the on- going Post-UTME is on his or her own because we would not recognise or teach such student.” According to him, “if the management goes ahead to conduct the post-UTME, none of the lecturers who are members of ASUU would not participate in the exercise and the students if admitted would not be recognized by the lecturers. ”So help Us God. |

ASUU’s strike not about salary reward – Don on August 09, 2013 at 4:11 pm in News Abuja – A lecturer at the University of Abuja, Prof. Femi Odekunle, says the current ASUU strike is not about salary or benefits but about ensuring an effective university system. Odekunle on Friday in Abuja said that the claim by the Federal Government that some of the agreements reached between the union and government were not implementable was untrue. “I do not believe that any agreements reached are not implementable, otherwise they would not even have been reached in the first place. “And these issues that ASUU is fighting for have to do with infrastructure, funding and conducive environment for learning and all capture such nuts and bolts that drive the system.’’ “So the claim by anyone to say that certain aspects of the agreement are not implementable is fraudulent. “If the Federal Government can put funds into the National Assembly in terms of salary and allowances, why can’t it do the same for education that produces the manpower for the development of the nation.’’ Odekunle accused the Federal Government of employing tactics that were creating division between ASUU and management of universities by its sudden increase of vice-hancellors’ salaries and allowances. The don, who noted that some lecturers were also culpable in contributing to the sector’s decay, noted, however, that majority of the the lecturers were serious and committed. He said that government should address issues, including the misuse of resources, corruption of the political and government class, high cost of governance and other issues that had continued to have adverse effects on the country’s development. Odekunle advised the government to address the ASUU strike from its root cause and not to “play politics and games with our children’s future’’. (NAN |
