TETFund Decries ASUU Strike Acting executive secretary of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), Mallam Aliyu Na’iya, has described the on-going strike by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) as unnecessary and highly regrettable. He said the strike which has become protracted, shouldn’t have been an option for the academic staff, rather they ought to be consolidating on the intervention of government in the sector over the years. Na’iya spoke through the deputy director, Public Relations Unit, Samuel Piwuna, who received an award from the West African Students Union Parliament (WASUP), on his behalf. He said through the Academic Staff Training and Development (ASTD) initiative of the agency, over 7,003 lecturers of the nation’s tertiary education system have benefited in various academic training programmes. According to TETFund, a breakdown of the categories of beneficiaries revealed that 890 lecturers were sponsored for PhD training outside the country while 2,132 lecturers also benefited for PhD training from various universities within the country. “Another 819 benefited from sponsorship for Masters Training in foreign universities, 3,057 benefited for Masters Training from universities within the country, while 105 lecturers were also sponsored for various Foreign Bench Works. “The above training efforts of the Intervention Agency is in line with the transformation agenda of the Federal Government aimed at ensuring the availability of the needed manpower for the development of the country through education,” he added. He said most of the beneficiaries of the programme were selected to ensure that lecturers in the tertiary institutions get further training to equip them for proper teaching in our nation’s institutions. Meanwhile, deputy speaker of WASUP, Comrade Nelson Ossaieze who presented the award on behalf of the regional student body alongside Comrade Akinyele Olasumbo, country representative of All Africa Students’ Union (AASU) commended the sterling performance of the acting executive secretary since assuming office in acting capacity. Comrade Ossaieze noted the efforts of TETFund towards making positive impact on education in Nigeria through providing needed infrastructure and intervention for all round growth of education in the country, saying that the efforts go a long way in positively affecting the West African region. |

ASUU To Call Off Strike In 5 Universites We have just received information on a the latest improvement from ASUU, and this time it is good news for the lucky students in a select few universities. News filtering from ASUU HQ this morning indicates that the body has reached an agreement to call of the strike in 5 universities if certain conditions are met, while other universities are been reviewed as at press time. The chairman of ASUU gave the list below “well, after hearing of the plight of students, we have decided to help some students go back to school, if their schools can comply with a strict set of rules, as mentioned below” 1. UNILAG: Unilag must agree to change their name to MAULAG. Without protest, riot or diss track. If they don’t like the name , then they should forget about school till further notice. 2. LASU: all cultists in lasu must give their lives to Jesus, come out clean and the killer of damoche (RIP) must be fished out ..or else LASU is facing a long strike. 3. UI: All students in UI must have tribal marks and no one is allowed to bring any car model from 2004 downwards. 4. DELSU: All delta state girls must visit each of our male committee members. Fǿя̩̥̊ virginity………..sorry IQ test. 5. and finally OSU must bring 5 virgins from 100 level and if they cant they should look for 1 virgin from 400 level ..and the strike would off ♍☹r♌i♌ǧ frds |

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the Federal Government’s insincere and amateurish handling of the strike that has paralyzed academic work in public universities in the country for the third month running. In a statement issued in Abuja,Wednesday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the tepid and half-hearted way the government has handled the strike has shown that it does not place much premium on education, which is the path to national development. It said there is no better indication of the government’s disdain for education than the fact that the Jonathan Administration has continued in its profligate ways even as students caught in the web of the strike remained at home when they should be engaged in serious academic work. APC said since the strike started, the Jonathan Administration has thrown at least two mega, money- guzzling dinners in Abuja, perhaps the best example of the aphorism ‘Nero fiddling while Rome burns’. In one of such frivolities, the President and his party folks feasted joyously at a post- PDP convention dinner even as hapless students were bemoaning their fate over the strike. The party said it was also in the midst of the strike that the First Lady organized the so-called peace rally that brought hundreds of unsuspecting women to Abuja in what later turned out to be a march of shame. The Abuja gathering must have guzzled millions of naira. Protesting National Association of Nigerian Students (Nans), Zone B South- South/South-East led by Cordinator, Comrade Chinonso Obasi, barricaded the Benin-Asaba expressway by head bridge, Onitsha over the prolonged Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, strike, recently. ”Yet, some ministers had the temerity to insult the sensibilities of Nigerians by saying the government will shut down if it meets ASUU’s demand. What an affront! They did not say Nigeria will shut down when the country paid out 3 trillion naira in non- existent fuel subsidies; they did not say Nigeria will shut down over the 1 trillion spent in the last eight years on less than 500 people; they did not say Nigeria will shut down due to FG’s monumental profligacy, which includes spending billions of naira to pamper ex-militants, some of whom are now so overfed that they are threatening the country’s very existence! ”It is particularly shocking that the government has carried on as if everything is normal, without bothering about the fate of the students who have been marooned at home since the strike started. Perhaps this is because the children and wards of those at the helm of affairs are luxuriating in schools abroad, or because they are too comfortable to worry about their less-fortunate compatriots,” it said. APC also said the fact that the strike has persisted despite President Goodluck Jonathan’s directive, widely reported by the media, to the FG’s negotiating team to do everything possible to end the strike, says a lot about the Administration’s credibility. ”In fact, the negotiations between ASUU and the Federal Government were called off two days after the President issued his directive. So much for credibility!” the party said. APC reiterated its earlier call on the FG,to immediately implement the agreement it willingly reached with ASUU in 2009 and stop wasting its energy on why the agreement cannot be implemented, saying: ”Agreements are meant to be respected, not repudiated.” 1 Like |

BREAKING NEWS: Jonathan sacks education minister, eight others President Goodluck Jonathan has reshuffled his cabinet, dropping nine ministers. The ministers affected are Ruqayat Rufai (Education); Zainab Kuchi (Power, [state]); Buka Tijani (Agriculture [state]), Shamsudeen Usman (National Planning; Ita Okon (Science and Technology); Olugbenga Ashiru (Foreign Affairs); Ama Pepple (Lands) and Hadiza Mailafia (Environment). Nigerians had long expected President Jonathan to rejig his lackluster cabinet which has largely failed to deliver services to the Nigerian people. But while the expectation mounted, Mr. Jonathan repeatedly dispelled speculation that he had plans to fire non-performing ministers. Last August, he unveiled a rating procedure known as Performance Contract Agreement for ministers but said he would not use the result of the assessment in considering who to fire. Mr. Jonathan said the assessment would only appraise his administration’s performance and delivery of targets to Nigerians. “I read all kinds of thing in the media, that the president wants to assess the ministers so that he would know who would go and who would stay. That is not the purpose of this. “We would have done it probably in the first week when we came on board, but the key thing is that we have given ourselves points that we think we will get at, we believe that if we get at those points or even if we achieve 70 per cent of that, at least it will be better off for our own country,” the president said. According to the president, the exercise was to ensure enhanced performance, transparency and accountability in governance, adding that it was not a witch-hunting exercise. “I want to assure every one of you who has taken part in the exercise that this is not a witch-hunt targeted at anybody,” the president said in his remarks after the signing ceremony. Nine of those who signed that contract have now been sacked, although it is not clear what criteria the President adopted in deciding those he fired. |

ASUU Strike: CSOs And The Burden To Save Education With university students across the country counting their loses as the protracted Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike enters its 10th week, the Coalition of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) has called on the Federal Government to save the country’s educational system. ASUU, it would be recalled, went on strike on July 2, 2013 over the refusal of the federal government to honour the 2009 agreement on the funding of universities as well as a January 2012 memorandum of understanding (MOU). The CSOs are lamenting that the grounding of the universities and paralysis of all academic and social activities is inimical to the long term development aspiration of the country. The group is expressing worry that in today’s world which is knowledge-driven, government is still fiddling while the Ivory towers are ‘burning’ two months into the ASUU strike. It should be noted that the 2009 FGN/ASUU agreement was the culmination of three years of negotiation following a similar strike by university lecturers in 2006. “Since 1991, the struggle by Nigerian lecturers to ensure adequate funding in order to arrest the rot in the Nigerian tertiary education has been on with hardly any year going by without the lecturers going on strike to either demand that government implements the agreement reached, or calling for a review of the agreements. “Much more disturbing is the predilection of the government for reneging on agreements freely entered into with university teachers as was the case when the university sector was rocked by protracted industrial unrest between 1994 and 1996 as a result of the government’s refusal to honour the terms of the FGN/ASUU agreement of September 1992”, it noted. The current strike, the coalition noted, is also a product of the federal government’s refusal to honour the terms of the 2009 agreement entered into with ASUU. According to the group, these acts of bad faith by successive governments in refusing to honour the terms of agreements freely entered into more than anything else, has accounted for the intractable crisis in the nation’s university system. “Beyond the immediate implications of government’s unilateral repudiation of the terms of agreements freely entered into, is the larger implication for the economy and society at large in terms of the sanctity of agreements, contracts and treatises signed by the Nigerian government. “A government that habitually reneges on agreements freely entered into with its citizens cannot be counted upon to uphold the sanctity of contracts, treatises or agreements. Little wonder then that all the jamborees of the government in the name of attracting foreign investors end up yielding little or no result since no serious investor will invest in a country where the sanctity of agreements or contract means nothing,” the further pointed out. Fundamentally, ASUU’s demand has been on the need to arrest the falling standard and ensure the quality of tertiary education which has been generally acknowledged as having fallen beyond imagination. The report of the Committee on Needs Assessment of Nigerian Universities (CNANU) set up by the federal government vividly captures this rot. “The struggles of ASUU to attract adequate funding as well as qualitative tertiary education has been on despite the existence of a statutory body created specifically for the purpose of ensuring the quality of tertiary education in Nigeria and advising government on issues of remuneration in the university system. “The National Universities Commission (NUC) has a duty as part of its functions as stated in its enabling act to ‘… prepare periodic master plans for the balanced and coordinated development of all universities in Nigeria’, ‘lay down minimum academic standards in the federal republic of Nigeria and accredit degrees and other academic awards’, ‘to ensure that quality is maintained within the academic programmes of the Nigerian university system’, ‘to advise the federal government on the financial needs, both recurrent and capital of university education in Nigeria…’, ‘to undertake periodic review of the terms and conditions of service of personnel engaged in the universities and to make recommendations thereon to the Federal Government as appropriate”. The group reiterated that “it is quite clear from the foregoing therefore, that the incessant agitations of ASUU are direct fallouts of the embarrassing abdication of responsibility by the NUC”. The CSOs are alleging that NUC has not been up and doing with regards to its primary duty to the Nigerian university system,. “The question in view of the monumental and disastrous failure is: Is there any basis for the continued existence of the NUC?, it queried. The NGOs maintain that the incessant strikes by ASUU over the issues that are squarely within the remit of the NUC and for which NUC ought to have properly advised the government on, clearly shows that the commission has over the years failed woefully in the discharge of its primary function of ensuring high standard and advising government on the needs of the universities. According to them, “the colossal failure of NUC to perform its primary functions and save the nation the current embarrassing state of affairs in the university system that has necessitated ASUU embarking on strike is a product of NUC’s abandonment of its primary duty of regulation, ensuring standards and calling the attention of the government to the worsening decay in tertiary education in the country. “As recently revealed, the NUC, which ordinarily should be focussed in regulating standards in the university system was said to be enmeshed in contract awards, management of scholarship funds and directly managing the affairs of universities in clear violation and breach of extant laws. This, to say the least, clearly explains why the NUC has failed woefully in saving the nation from its current woes through timely advice on the critical state and needs of the Nigerian university system as well as making proposals on how to avert the current state of rot in the system”,it alleges. Given the grave danger that incessant strikes constitute to the immediate and long term economic and social well-being of the nation, the group called on the federal government to, with immediate effect, “demonstrate the requisite political will to respect the terms of the agreement which it freely entered into with ASUU. This is, to us, the hallmark and minimum requirement for a responsible and credible government. “Re-open the collapsed negotiations with ASUU as quickly as possible, set in motion with immediate effect , all the mechanisms necessary for meeting the funding requirements of the FGN/ASUU agreement of 2009 including those that have fallen due to some unanswered questions; Stop forthwith all efforts at derailing the interventionist agencies in stabilising the Nigerian tertiary education system”. Other demands by the group include to “ensure that the extant laws regulating the operations of the TETFund are respected by all and sundry including but not limited to the NUC, to immediately ensure that the NUC and other regulatory agencies within the tertiary education sector forthwith remain and operate within the ambit of their primary functions of regulating and setting standards for the university and tertiary education system and desist from getting enmeshed in functions that are best left to the universities/tertiary institutions/other relevant agencies and outside their core mandates and ensure the full implementation of the report of the Committee on Needs Assessment of Nigerian Universities (CNANU).” |

ASUU strike: ANC gives FG seven-day ultimatum SEPTEMBER 13, 2013 BY FRIDAY OLOKOR, ABUJA 5 Comments A civil rights organisation, the Anti-Corruption Network, has given the Federal Government “one week” to resolve its dispute with the striking members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities. It said it would mobilise Nigerians for a protest to the Federal Ministry of Education. The group, which expressed disappointment at government’s lukewarm attitude to the plight of students, suggested that President Goodluck Jonathan should take loan to offset the N92bn being demanded by ASUU. It said in a statement by its Executive Secretary , Dino Melaye, that government’s attitude showed that it had no interest in the future of Nigerian students. The statement reads in part, “The ongoing face-off between the Federal Government and ASUU is a reflection of bad government and keeping quiet would be like the proverbial adult who, while at home, allowed the she-goat to suffer the pains of malnutrition on its tether. “The Federal Government as far back as 2009 went into an agreement with ASUU and signed that agreement. Why will you agree to what you don’t intend to do? A gentleman will go into an agreement and then carry out the agreement to the latter. The agreement was made in 2009; why was there no budgetary provision for that agreement in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013? “Why would the Federal Government enter into an agreement they don’t intend to implement? So we are giving them one week of grace and if by Friday next week, the government did not resolve the crisis with ASUU, we will mobilise Nigerians, students and parents to be on the streets to protest against this reckless and irresponsible government. “By Friday next week, if the Federal Government refuses to resolve the ASUU crisis, we will protest to the Federal Ministry of Education where we will register our anger against an insensitive government. “They just went to China to secure a loan of $1.1bn. Why is it difficult for the Federal Government to raise N92bn to solve the problem in our education sector? Education is the bedrock of every development; it is the bedrock of any nation. It is shameful that the Federal Government is showing this lackadaisical attitude towards the next generation. “If the Federal Government is serious, there is something in the parliament that is called virement. There are lots of contracts that have been budgeted for in this dispensation that they have not even started this month. “All the Federal Government needed to do is for the President to write the National Assembly and seek for a virement or even take a loan. They can spend money on frivolities, they can spend money on very many unreasonable things. But the Federal Government cannot source for N92bn. Above all, the Federal Government has shown that is is not a responsible government.” Also the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, on Thursday advocated for sustainable peace in Nigeria and its universities. According to him, sustainable peace is very crucial to the realisation of Nigeria’s scientific, technological and socio-economic needs. “Without peace, there won’t be any chance for development, and this will be disastrous for Nigeria and the world,’’ the Sultan said. He also said that peace in the universities and other institutions would impact positively on the training of quality manpower for the nation. “If this is not ensured, the opposite will be the case and the county would continue to lag behind,’’the monarch added. |
