But wait o!

This Nigeria's federalism is a big joke. Does the federal government have any business establishing a federal university in portharcourt or in Lagos?
The Federal government doesn't have any business establishing a federal university in the various states. Now ASUU is going on strike due to inadequate funding from the side of the federal government since the federal government gets all the Money. Who really configured and rearranged Nigeria this way?

I seriously need some answers

To communicate areas of dispute to govt today
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said that the ongoing industrial dispute will continue except certain acceptable conditions are met.

It said to end the strike, the Federal Government must urgently release additional N50 billion to the N20 billion released earlier for revitalisation fund, show evidence of mainstreaming the Earned Academic Allowance (EAA) into the 2019 budget and evidence of the payment of shortfall in salaries.

President of ASUU, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, in an interview with The Guardian yesterday, said the union rejected the latest proposal of the government after due consultations with members, pointing out that government’s offer was meagre.

He added that the association’s reservations would be communicated to the Federal Government today at the inauguration of the platform for addressing matters relating to state universities.

Ogunyemi said: “The last time we met with representatives of government, they gave us their proposal and we said we will present it to our members and their reactions to the items of the proposal will be sent back to them within a week. And now, we are almost through with the consultation and we will communicate areas of disagreement to them today.

“They are basically two or three major areas; one is on the revitalisation fund. We presented to them that government owed an outstanding balance of N1.1 trillion in five tranches. But what government eventually proposed is something that is far-fetched. They were talking about N20 billion that will be released in two tranches starting from next quarter, and we felt that will not address the issue at hand. Though they said that they released N20 billion earlier, the N20 billion was to be released in 2017, if they released it in November 2018, it is not the same thing.

“Out of the N20 billion that the government released earlier, we have outstanding N200 billion. So, if government can release N50 billion in addition to the N20 billion released earlier; and the remaining N150 billion can be released on quarterly basis within this year, N50 billion each for the remaining three quarters, then it will show a sign of commitment.”

Additionally, the group demanded that for EAA and shortfall in salaries, government should provide evidence of its promises and give specific information and guidelines to its proposals.

“Although government has shown us a paper authorising the release of N15.89 billion to universities, but universities have not confirmed receipt. As far as ASUU is concerned, it is an issue of ‘once bitten, twice shy,’” he further stated.

The issue of this ASUU strike is getting out of hand, something must be done quickly.

They'll be wasting our time like this

#ASUUSTRIKE

A country were by government pays huge amount of money subsidizing fuel yet can not fund its education section adequately. Who did this to us?

FOUR YEAR TENURE
THREE YEARS HOLIDAY



a bird at hand is worth more dan ten in d bush



so if ASUU did not do d needful b4 election starts,it
may backfire on dem back.

ASUU is right on dis to strike but dey shud also
think twice,dey shud b ten steps ahead of any
decision dey are taken or else dey will jst suffer
nigeria students for nothing.

Even d person dey dealing with does not value
education,so in dis case wisdom is profitable to direct.

Brotherly
Sense wee nor kill you
If federal government doesn't settle this guys before election,and per chance the current guys in power happen to win this election
This strike will continue till Jah knows when

if u get pregnant at home because of this strike, name ur baby ighalo or assisat ;Dif u get pregnant at home because of this strike, name ur baby ighalo or assisat

N15.89 billion has been diverted/stolen by minister of the zoo education and president of ASUU and others.

These are the attacks against those that keep voting in every elections.

And they are asking you "come and vote, voting is your civil responsibility while stealing and wasting your time is their democratic responsibility.

Criminals in power, mad terrorists.

Their children are all schooling in overseas.

Either you vote out old criminals or vote in next criminals.

Boycott this 2019 elections.

Noted

And government will not yield to their demands.... Just go learn work

Donperfecter:
Long story ..if care is not taken ASUU wil end up receiving #0.00 into their account

And the strike will rage on.

mousco:
[/color]This country is something else, these are among reasons why most politicians prefer to send their children abroad when what ASUU need to call off strike one single politician have it in his bank account.

Nigeria is a failed country academically [color=#990000]

Nigeria is a failed country in totality.

Emceesaka:
Please is SSANU, NASU, NAAT going to benefit from dis earn allowance matter?

Probably. The outstanding verified earned allowance for all staff from 2009 to 2016 is 105 billion naira.

We were told this figure was presented to the President and he approved immediate release of 20 billion naira and that the remining 85 billion naira should be paid in tranches.

ASUU is insisting on immediate release of at least 23 billion naira (18.5 for ASUU, 4.5 for others), a clear timeline for upsetting the remaining balance, and mainstreaming of 2017, 2018, and subsequent years in to monthly salary.

Revitalization fund is for all public Universities however they give priority to federal Universities. For example: two third of the 20 billion naira released last year went to federal Universities while the remaining third went to state Universities.

Funding of state Universities is primarily by state government. A committee has been set to engage the Governors on this.

God bless you sir for dis comprehensive explanation. Thanks I appreciate sir

abbeyty:
I honestly feel for Nigerian youths most especially the university students I dont think there is any other country in the world that wastes their students times (lives) like Nigerian system has been doing to her so called leaders of the future. A 4 years course could turn to 7 years just cuz of strike action.

The students themselves don't understand what is at stake here. They are not making any efforts to support ASUU, they are rather supporting a useless government whose officials have their children schooling abroad. It is not just about going back to school. Students need a sane environment and well motivated lecturers to achieve their goals which is ASUU's grouse. That should not be faulted.
