Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has decried the indifference exhibited by the Federal Government to the university system of the country amidst other issues currently bedevilling the country’s polity.

Addressing journalists, yesterday, in Calabar, Cross River State, at the end of National Executive Council, NEC, meeting of ASUU, its President, Mr Biodun Ogunyemi, said they were angry with the current position of the Federal Government on education because it had shown less concern to the growth of the system. Ogunyemi said the Federal Government was not interested in the growth and development of the education sector because from the budgetary allocation, which was 11 per cent in 2015, is now a little above seven per cent in 2018. He said: “Since the return to civil rule in 1999, the highest budgetary allocation to the education sector was in 2015, when government allocated 11.75 per cent to education. However, in the 2018 budget, the allocation to the education sector fell to a scandalously low point of seven per cent. This is also unacceptable. “NEC reviewed the state of affairs in our country with special focus on the crisis in the education sector, the increasing despondency among the generality of the citizenry owing to the hazy political environment foisted on the people of Nigeria by politicians of the ruling class, the inclement economic atmosphere that has continued to produce joblessness, hampered productive activities and the development of productive capacities, the total disconnect between the government and the Nigerian people at every tier of our political structure. “ASUU as a union of patriotic intellectuals is compelled, once again, as in our established tradition, to call the attention of Nigerians to the multiple malaises that have constantly conspired and are still conspiring against our developmental aspiration as citizens in the Nigerian state. “As a union in the education sector, we have the duty to the Nigerian people to assess and report on the state of our universities, which is gravely disturbing. Education, which is the kernel of transformation in any society, is being treated with levity in Nigeria. “The ruling class in Nigeria has constantly refused to pay due attention to the significant place of education in the improvement of the living standards of the people. Promising pronouncements by politicians about education notwithstanding, no state in Nigeria has an all-round internationally competitive system of education. Yet, Nigerians are widely acknowledged to be among the most intellectually endowed in the world, judged by their performance in all parts of the world. The Nigerian society is left to drift because of the neglect of the educational sector, especially the Nigerian University system (NUS),” he said. Speaking further, he said “The Chairman of the Government Renegotiating Team, has constituted a stumbling block to the process of the renegotiation. He has arrogantly exhibited “I-know-it-all” attitude and also conducted himself as a judge, instead of a negotiator.

Here comes ASUU once more....
One semester.......One Problem.

That's it, you think they ever cared? Think again. Over the past week it has been endless stories of decamping from one party to another and impeachment; and it's all for their selfish interest and favours.

Both PDD and APC. They are all thrives and the youth of my generation got no balls..

Time to start taking the laws into our own hands and start killing these idoits anywhere we find them. They are playing with our loves and future.

Ok

Government suppose dey pay pipu "hardship allowance" just for being students in naija becos na wahala.......abii i lie??

Are they joking?

What did they expect

A government that is ready to dole out $1m each to senators to buy their vote in the face of poverty

You think they will care about education?

A government where over half of it's appointees and even the elected have one issue or the other with their certificates

ASUU is asking too much!

Without WAEC. . . . . All things EDUCATION are impossible.

Next time don’t support a DAURA DUNCE for president!

But Nigeria is led by a president Buhari who pays more attention to cows than to Western education.

What were they expecting from an illiterate president?

WESTERN EDUCATION IS HARAM - so says Boko Haram leaders who gun for a country to be ruled with Islamic Sharia Criminal Codes.

In 2001, Buhari told a large gathering of Muslim Faithfuls that he would not stop until Islamic Sharia Criminal codes are used all over Nigeria.


Buhari has been more hell-bent on distributing Muslim Fulani cattle herders colonies all over Nigeria, than pay attention to Nigeria's university education.

My brother, that is what i keep saying. Take for instance, Nigerians begin serious protest that all public holders must have their kids school in public institutions.. It is either u take it or u dont border contesting..

The reason these leaders behave anyhow is becus we dont take laws into our own hands.. if we disturb govt seriously, they will get sense..


Just yesterday's action by DSS made APC to be scared... really scared becus they noticed the level of out cry, and they knew such could lead to break down of law and order, they were really scared.

If the masses learn to make demands from govt in an aggressive way, they will have sense..

Any ways, im just wasting my time becus a typical nigerian will sell off his future for a plate of fried rice..

My main deal is to leave the country.. It cant get better lie lie..

You need some one that KNOWS and accept responsibility....#healthyPresident2019 is what we DEMAND!!!
