I dont even understand what this govt are up to....breaking ASUU ranks or trying to split them into northern ASUU and southern ASUU by processing payment for only medical workers in schools in the North....

i just cant wait till 2023!

Kindly read the news again.

Not cool from those set of medical lecturers, they want to undermine the fight with this move.

No there's nothing like not cool, they are working so they deserve to b paid.
The other set are not working so they don't deserve to b paid.
Let us all b feeling the pain, the students are sacrificing their time too

khingTony:
Division being created.


Despite what the ASUU president said, that the federal government cannot blackmail them with hunger, it's going to happen if this strike lingers for long. Some of The affected lectures would want to go back to the classroom to continue their jobs so that they can be paid.

Divisions and branches of ASUU are going to rebel against their leadership soon because e don choke some lecturers oh

so, it has been a no pay no work parol all the while. Wow! I think I like this struggle. E go soon choke the choker...

Finally! I wonder how those people have been surviving, would have been harder on the ones with no savings. FairSave is one saving platform that is trusted and safe, try saving for unforeseen circumstance.

The Executives of ASUU have failed to see the handwriting on the wall.

UptownVibes:
You're saying this,because you're not among the striking lecturers Topical mind of an African man. Reason why the government always play a fast one on us.. No unity among citizens.. If the government did what they ought to have done,will there be strike in the first place? Government is the problem here,not the striking lecturers. So,they should pay them,even for making them stay out of work..

And who will compensate the students for precious time lost??

They were not working ma'am. It's now they've decided to go back to teaching

Atleast they see reasons to go back to work, unlike some other set that are hell bent on getting the payment platform.
How is their mode of payment fighting for the students for God's sake. It's very clear the fg deliberately left them to see the light.
Even if buhari signs this, the next presidency might not want it, and they will go back to square one.

You seems not to understand how ASUU is structured to function, it's one the union that allows it's members to take decisions on what to do about the strike.

The medical lecturers are usually exceptional as they operate with human life's. Over here in Lagos, I doubt if the medical lecturers will bother as they are busy making money with private clinics.

ASUU had notify it's members to prepare for the strike before it started and created avenue where lecturers can take up loans pending where the govt. will bend to their demands.

ASUU is like a strong cult group and the govt is finding it difficult to bribe some of it's members to ignore the strike

It's a unique opportunity to employ qualified Nigerians
Medical lecturers have usually worked during strikes to help man the teaching hospitals

Sack everyone else and recruit afresh

If they only knew..

Pristine664:

Nobody.

The students are the pawns used in this game of chess between the FG and ASUU.

No matter what the outcome of the negotiations and strikes are, the students are always the ones who lose.

Pristine664:

The government is at fault in everything here. I wonder why the students NANS is relaxed. If they had shut the country with protest, the APC led government, wouldn't have be fooling with them. Since the students are relax, hence the delay of government meeting the demands of the striking lecturers..

Did you read the letter or are you deliberately being malicious?

If u ain't in d academic system u won't undstd dt d lecturers are been used! Besides they ain't creating any faction from ASUU, clinical lecturers have been working/teaching their yr 5 nd 600L students, do they deserve to be paid, they work as MD and clinical lecturers!
More over if u think hunger can make d lecturers rescind u re joking! Can I shock u, most of dem teach in private n state uni/poly. The Fed uni is gasping for air!

No, because strikes affect clinical students in medical school badly.

An average university student is affected by ASUU strike. An average medical student is affected by ASUU, NMA, NARD, JOHESU strikes....to say nothing of SSANU and NASU strikes ...which means that they end up spending longer in school

Hence the strike breaking. It is either that, or six year course will reach ten years...or more.

Stop saying rubbish and defending nonsense. Medical students are only affected by ASUU strike.

I have seen Medical students from UNILORIN not spending up to 6years to finish their MBBS, while the school haven't join ASUU. Even when JOHESU, NARD, NMA had gone on strike during their school year, it does not affect them.

Subsidywise20:


No, just the lecturers that are teaching. Every other Northern lecturer on strike is not being paid.

I expect that if medical lecturers in southern schools were teaching..they would get paid too...

Who are they teaching when school is on strike?

Subsidywise20:


Not really.

Medical students spend 3 years on campus, and 3 years in hospital..before they graduate. ASUU strikes affect those on campus, as you know. But for medical students...it isn't just ASUU and NASU/SSANU strikes...JOHESU, NARD, and even NMA strikes affect them as well.

So ASUU not going on strike in medical school reduces the burden a bit.

How is JOHESU, NARD affecting medical students?

This is not reasonable

Dannyfan:
How is JOHESU, NARD affecting medical students?

This is not reasonable

Ha....here we go.

1.Medical students...those doing MBBS...spend 3 years on campus, and 3 years in a teaching hospital.

2.A lot of those 3 years in a hospital are spent on the wards, learning clincal and other things

3.And ye need....patients, resident doctors, nurses, pharmacists and so on for the clinical side to work.

4.Now if JOHESU goes on strike....no nurses, no pharmacists....that means no patients in the ward, which means that medical students cannot do clinical training...they go home and wait. It even gets worse if NARD goes on strike...that leaves just the consultants and house officers ...ie skeletal services from doctors...patients go home...and so do students.

And let's not forget NMA...goes on strike....no doctors , no patients....students go home...

Plus, medical consultants in university teaching hopsitals are also lecturers...so ASUU goes on strike...they too leave work...medic studets go home.

So, a medical student in one year has faced NARD, JOHESU, NMA strikes , and is facing his 500 level being delayed, and then ASUU goes on strike...and it is looking like he is going to spend some two extra years in medical school....and he gets tetchy...and the consultants see that....they do not join the strike.


It's hell on earth to be a medical student in Nigeria....that's why sometimes our lecturers have pity on us and don't join ASUU strike.

Dannyfan:
Who are they teaching when school is on strike?

Clinical medical students.

The idea is so that they don't end up having preclinical students wait for over a year to start clinicals because of strike.

Yes, because UNILORIN is not in ASUU...so they can do as they please...plus they are still affected by JOHESU and company..so some delays.

If they were in ASUU...there would have been issues.

(I even back ASUU's demands...so I am not opposing them....I am just offering an explanation).

UNILORIN is even a bad example to use.

All northern schools. Further confirms dissociation in the different regions of the country.

UNILORIN has joined ASUU.

UNILORIN has joined ASUU.

It's a recent thing. It wasn't so in the recent past.

MDCAN and ASUU are not in good terms, so this news is not surprising

Besides MDCAN in the North, i doubt if they have their own PP, so they don't have multiple sources of income unlike those in the South especially the South East. Those in the South East are balling, so i doubt if they will join their mates in the North

This is just like the NARD strike were those in the North wanted it to be called so, while those in the South wanted it to continue

Your second paragraph is funny at best.
Have you been to Kano, Maiduguri, plateau or kaduna before?
No state in the South East can be compared to any of those states when it comes to pp.

I wish i can actually understand what is going on here and what i smell that is coming. But i will chill and observe. Isn't that a division among this ASUU already? How can you pay some and leave some? This people better know what they are doing, because there is enough damage already to the students and the Education system.

Stop saying what you don't know. JOHESU, NARD and NMA strikes do affect medical students in their clinical years. Depending on the duration of the strike, you can even be asked to repeat the whole posting
