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

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.”

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.
