honestly, ASUU is being insensitive..

at first they were hell bent on ensuring that the FG accepts UTAS as their own payment system.. they were primarily on strike because the IPPIS was not in their favour. now the FG has accepted all their terms and condition..

they now switched the game to something else..
why fighting for salaries you didnt work for?
besides why not resume and see if how their salaries will be with UTAS..gluttons

Onucs:
I am with the FG on this one. NO WORK, NO PAY Jhoor!

U don't tell them to come back to work hungry. Is it that Fg no get common sense? They no even get transport money to come back sef. Fg should find a way to pay them. It may not be all buh I believe sth will make them come back.

Go and implement the renegotiation agreements oga minister. Stop fooling Nigerians about No work no pay. Is no work no pay part of the renegotiation agreements?
ASUU is telling you to go and implement the renegotiation agreements and you are trying to shift everything to no work no pay. I was expecting nairalanders to ask about the recent renegotiation agreements and its implementations.
Dem just dey no work no pay to deceive them.
ASUU no do renegotiation for no work no pay with FG negotiation committee o .

ThinkSmarter:
ASUU is selfishly inclined.
They are disguising to be fighting for the welfare of the students but in truth they are much after their own interests.
TetFund is doing wonders in our varsities.
Their building Projects are classy.

Says the novice that graduated from mango tree secondary university . See you wey Neva comot Naija dey write in saner countries , see in saner countries, lecturers are paid well, good infrastructure for effective learning, ICT to reduce stress and up to date library.

In Nigeria we have lecture halls with few seats, thereby stressing students to sit on the floor during lectures. How do you think these students will perform well? Let's leave these sentiments and face the government. My prayer is for God not to allow my children to experience university education in this country.

Buhari and co should invest in education, this is why private secondary/primary schools are booming, the federal/state owned schools have dilapidated buildings with no seats for kids. If care is not taken, this will be the story of govt owned Universities.

the so called booming secondary universities are the same as the government owned institutions..
the same year for courses, same curriculum. .. the few differences in that in secondary universities..lecturers dont sleep with student for marks, they dont drain student with handout fee, they dont dump their students for a whole semester only to show up during the exams day, there are no unnecessary cult group and criminal gangs, their instituions ae better equipped with convenient learning environments, their lecturers are more dedicated to their duties etc..

many of the lecturers in this secondary universities also lecture in or used to lecture in govt owned institutions
for a lecturer, it shocking how your comment sounds like that of an urchin

GeneralBuhari:


Why should the students forfeit such?

Was it them that told ASUU to go on strike?

Hahahha, you made me laff so hard, they have to forfeit it because the semester has passed without it's payment. No pay no work

NezzyMike:

Hahahha, you made me laff so hard, they have to forfeit it because the semester has passed without it's payment. No pay no work

Their semester cannot pass just like that.

The lecturers went on unofficial leave.

Whenever they come back, the semester resumes from where it stopped.

Lol, your level of reasoning Sha. Have you been to igbinedion that is a private university? Have you heard the lecturers went on strike because of low salary pay? Have you seen the students protest due to non conducive learning environment yet it is private owned.

The federal Universities that are run with students' fees/oil money lack the basic infrastructures for effective learning. All the unis you apply for outside Nig are government owned , but your looters will never allow institution of higher learning to be of that standard.

No need educating you, your age says so.

Classy? How many of such buildings have you entered?

Let me tell you a little story:

A certain department in the University of Ibadan was moved to their "permanent site" because of this TETFUND project. The project itself was awarded in 2009 but the money for constructing it was not released until 2017. They started the building then and it was finally completed in 2020.

Here's the problem: the money that was released is exactly what was approved since 2009. They didn't include the inflation rate. As a result, the building had a lot of errors. If you visit this building today, you'd see some of the tiles already coming off. They didn't even include furniture and fittings. The toilet were abysmally fixed, lighting problem, lecturers who brought their ACs with them from the former site have to fix it with their own money. The ones that have no money dumped it aside.

Apart from the lecture hall that had some chairs, chairs for the rest of the building was provided by the alumni body. The conference hall is as empty as the atmosphere, ditto for the cafeteria. In fact, of you're in the compound of this building, you'd think the contractor is coming back to finish the work tomorrow but it has been like that since 2020.

This also goes for many of such project. Tertiary education in Nigeria needs help and the stipends from the government can never sustain them. Forget about the TETFUND scam. There's a lot more to tertiary institution than uncompleted or abysmally completed structures.

You no work and you come want money

lol ..my age?

let me ignore that
state your definition of secondary universities.. let us begin from there..

why will you expect an institution where their fees are no lees than a million to go on strike. ...ehn think sir...and you want the other institutions that students pay as low as 30k to function the same way.. how sir?
mention institutions abroad where student pay $50 dollars for a year and institutions functions well..you think it by celebrating the past glory of UI and UNILAG..

no one is arguing about govt institutions always on strike..in short, ASUU will continue to strike as far as public institutions receives the same amount of funding from students and govt..

you dont need to mention igbinedion.. go to Edo State University and go and see how a standard govt owned university should run. Reference it also to their school fees..then come back and talk.

Nigerians love everything cheap, we should be willing to accept the consequences

ASUU stated clearly that they had issues with IPPIS and demands UTAS to be accepted..now it is done, they want to play another deceitful game..

If u say no work no pay the ASUU president says then ASUU whenever they resume will not revisit any work undone i.e no teaching, conducting exams, marking of scripts that should hve been done during the period of the strike. Afterall refinery , ajaokuta workers are paid for doing nothing

NezzyMike:




Don't you think it will be at the detriment of the students? Some uncompleted sessions they were supposed to be paid will be scrapped? New intakes will not be registered while some final years will not graduate due to no CGPA?

Well it's Buhari's problem and that of parents.

And then students who have already spent 6 years in school for a 4-year course will now spend 4 years? ASUU will revert the timing for them?

Just do a little research. Salary of lecturers in Igbenedion or any other private university of your choice amd compare it with the presemt salary of lecturers in government universities.

If you truly do it, you will wonder why your lecturers are on strike, and why lecturers in private universities havent gone on strike yet

Really? ASUU: No work no pay
Bandits: Kill and receive millions
ASUU: Advocating for a cause
Bandits: Just being evil

Nigerian Government has lost it.

Well no Universities in South East and South West collect 30k as school fees in this Naija. Who told you the government has agreed to the UTAS? Well you ain't informed, not your fault. Edo state University with enough classes and equipped laboratory? If there are students that stand in that your state University while lecture is on, oboy it is not up to standard.

The money that have been looted for so many years, don't you think it would've gone a long way in equipping our Universities? We want everything cheap abi, well the cheap one you attended is really showcasing itself.

No need arguing with a novice who doesn't know his right.

ASUU president says it can't happen. If fgn says no pay no work then every activity within the period of the strike will be forfeited. U can't ask me to do work that should hve been done during the period of the strike and still say no pay.

The salaries are not the same because it is privately owed, the founder knows how important education is. Buhari and his cohorts do not value education even with the oil well money they keep sharing.

Fg has no accepted utas. Moreover the money ASUU is requesting for is over a five year period not in one year. Surely fg can afford to invest 200billion fuel subsidy scam in university education.

Madmazel99:
ASUU should forfeit this 6 month salary and resume back for the sake of the students.

most I admonish you guys before you make comments here, borrow some sense even if you have none. Now put yourself in ASUU shoes, if you were an ASUU staff and your protested for irregularities in your working environment and the government turned a deaf ear, you used strike option now the government come out to say they are not gonna pay you your salaries, how are gonna feel?

Note it's legal for members of staffs under Nigerian Labour Congress or any labour union in the world to protest or use strike option called government attention in cases of non proper working environment or other irregularities, also note that throughout the six months of ASUU strike federal government has never issue a suspension letter to any of ASUU staffs branches or ASUU in general, so why won't pay them their salaries?

kolakolex:


It's not that easy .Most of them have no other source (s) of income.i can't imagine the Debt some of them are already owning for this six month strike.

But they didn't teach naaa, it will be foolishness and greediness for you to expecting money from where you didn't work for it

So, it is building projects that will make our universities world class?

When I see post like this, I just weep for this country as we contribute to the woes faced in this country.

Ask any Nigerian who studied abroad after having his or her undergraduate program in Nigeria, if he or she can boast of the fact that their foundation knowledge helped a lot in their Master's or Ph.D you would be shocked at what they will give as response. Some had to go through the phase of shedding bitter tears after getting to know that they need a lot of catching up to do and here you are bragging about rubbish.

The truth is that our universities are in shamble. Imagine universities offering engineering, computer science, medicine and other technical or scientific programmes without good 21st century laboratories and well equipped. Here you are stating buildings as if the buildings make a better graduate. It's really sad.

Imagine within the space of 3 years, they went on strike 2 times just imagine.

Yureyes:

So who sent them to go on strike? You don’t have any other source(s) of income, you rushed and embark on an industrial strike without considering the effect it will have on you? FG should not pay anything, it’s because they always paid for going on strike that’s why they are quick to embark on one.

NezzyMike:




Atiku wants to privatise federal Universities, who can afford it when it happens?

Uni will be for the rich only na, by their fruits we shall know them.

Lolz, the current almajeri led gov does not believe in education and so they don't give a hoot. The trillions claimed to have been spent feeding school kids at school when schools were shut down during covid or the money's claimed to have been dashed to less priviladed could have solved this ASUU problem.
But alas, is there anything touched by apc thy have not destroyed? Yet some still want to vote this calamity 2023, no be juju be that?
They have not just destroyed the country but now the want to destroy the future of Nigerians ie education! Lecturers have lost hope and leaving the country in droves with their skills!
Bloody shit hole country! And it is true, why? Exiting the aircraft yesterday onto the apron tunnel leading into mm2, the apron smelt like raw sewage! Can you imagine the impression on first time foreign visitors?

NezzyMike:

You have not said the complete truth. The salary are not same. Yes.
The truth is lecturers in government owned universities are still far better paid than those in so called privately owned schools.

Now are they both not in the same country,
and Facing the same ecomomic woes?

Why haventh the lecturers in the private universities gone on strike?

So what happens to all the funds budgeted and appropriated for their salaries since February....

Will it not be stolen or laundered through the never ending 'second Niger bridge.... Lagos-Ibadan expressway.... Kano-Kaduna expressway'....

So it is equally in the interest of elements in the government to ignore solutions. Government loses nothing so they are not committed to solving anything.

But still the people that suffer the consequences, both their parents and their wards will still queue to bring back this government come next year.

That is the real tragedy.

fernandoc:
The audacity of a Buffon to refer to every academic in a nation as big as Nigeria as thieves. And some people are clapping for him because he was appointed junior minister. APC government and propaganda, they will leave the main issue and continue chasing shadows.
If the “thieves” decides to turn around and insist you pay them every dime they are legitimately owed you will also in turn refer to them as selfish, wicked and insensitive.
You have never for one day referred to the so called accountant general who stole 170 billion as a thief.

I pray FG doesn’t pay you for the 6months you skipped work.

Shey na my future you go delay but have yours back ?

We go see

I am a student and I fully support FG not paying their 6 months salary for abdicating from work.

Who will pay back students for their house rents that have wasted ? Nobody. Is it their fault ? No.

FG should never ever pay them. Let them strike till next year.

Really, so a professor in Igbinedion earns below 400k. Do you even know people from other countries teach the students? Do you know gov and private schools outside Nigeria are of the same standard? Chai
