Why does nothing under government control work?

Private sector is the way to go tbh. Neither the government nor ASSU is totally right on this one.
And if you think ASSU is wrong, then you've not toured a typical public university and compare with another outside the country. Why are we even surprised about unemployment rates when standard of education is this 'good'?

Private University education is something every one owes their children...or even schooling them abroad.

U r correct on some points but frankly, ASUU is also fighting for its selfish aims. Allocation is given to universities even if it is not much n fees r being paid. So I think ASUU should please stop the blame game. The present govt is hopeless wen it comes to educational matters but this rot has long been here and ASUU has sometimes close their eyes to it.

OP, you and ASUU should stop playing us pity-me card. ASUU should come and account for how well they have utilized small amount and resources government has dished out to them. They always hide under canopy of they are fighting for Nigerian students while they are only fighting for their pockets.

Even if government spends 80% of national budget on ASUU, they will still under perform. A lot of things are wrong with them, higher percentage of them are not even competent and need replacement and total overhaul of Nigerian universities. If you get are not ready to get paid by IPPIS, they should look for another job, it is not by force you must work with government.

ASUU is selfish and only see Nigeria as national cake that must be shared. If they think senator collects 1billion per month as they usually claim, they should resign and go and become senator, there are better and competent hands ready to collect even less at high efficiency. ASUU can't dictate to it's employer how she wants to be paid, it is because they lack patriotism and see Nigeria as national cake that must be shared equally to her members.

Quality researches and inventions they can't do, teaching students, many of them are not competent, ordinary student projects, they can't supervise well, this is dusqusting! They are only good at strike and negotiating how much to be paid for under performance, can they do that with private employers? Radiance to rubbish!

base on my careful analysis on the case at hand btw fg and ASUU, I deduce that fg were not sincere in this matter because hw will you sign an agreement with a union and subsequently fail to honor the agreement...it's called breach of contract.

secondly, you brought up an idea of ipps 11yrs ago (2009) to be implemented to all MDAs, which is good but then some MDAs complained about some discrepancies in ipps that might suit their payment platform, because ipps platform is just like a Excel data sheet format in which EVERY ALLOWANCE paid to every workers is present there but it was seen that some organization allowance peculiarities were not included in the platform..Now I believe that fg Should have confirmed ,amend, add and correct the necessary abnormalities in the platform but they failed to do necessary adjustment SIMPLY because the software was built by word bank with billions of naira and for them to adjust anything on the platform, they need to contact world bank and pay another huge billions for the correction, the reason is that the BACKEND OR IPPIS DATA BASE IS NOT IN NIGERIA (lol).. very pathetic

thirdly.. from my careful investigation..I came to understand that lecturers salaries were consolidated.. ie their salary comprises of basic salary and peculiar allowance.. now this is where there is confusion, lecturers re claiming that TAX should be deducted from there basic salary but ippis is deducting tax on both there basic and allowance.

Also lecturers claim that there promotion is not stationary..ie lecturers promotion are not base on hw many yrs u re in the institution but it depends solemly on the more certificate u aquire ( msc ,PhD, ) and also quality journal published..now after you ve gotten the necessary documents and qualifications due for promotion, you will be appraised by you Dept, faculty n finally school Senate before u will be promoted.this can happen at any month of the year, but ippis mode of promotion is stationary, Ie, promotion is sessional , maybe two times or once every yr, if u miss that particular month or period, you wait till next year..

Another stuff I also discovered is that ippis office is only situated at Abuja, any complaint by lecturer from unilag base on mistake or error in payment will require you to travel from Lagos to Abuja, lodge in a hotel for days until you're attended to Compared to there formal method of operandi in which lecturers can simply go there burser for any complaint and it will be attended to at no expense to the lecturers...

Now on ASUU part,
this consistent strike should stop...you people should find another way of getting fg attention and not only strike because we the students re seriously SUFFERING and are always at the loosing end in this fight..
pls and pls consider the plight of our youth In this country wasting away cos of the brutal and yeye fight btw yourselves and fg
thanks

me ask you something because I like judging things base on data and written evidence and not based on general thinking.
if you can devote time, pls check from 2009 till date, and tell me how many times lecturers salaries was increased ?

secondly on the Money invested into the universities..
I believe you're either a graduate or a student.. either way you're enlightened,
whom did you think run the financial funding or spending on school? lecturers or admins ( vc, registrar, burser, pro etc)

or better still who is in charge of universities expenditures?

I saw from the memo signed by fg and ASUU that fg will set a visitation panel to be visiting each schools to monitor the expenditures...
I can testify to you that fg executives never visited any school..
ASUU has been hammering and clamouring to fg to constantly send visitation panel to the whole universities..but fg no gree

my brother who is fooling who
just forget about this country
insincerity has swallowed these country

And tell me the unions that government increases their own every year either. If any ASUU member knows the union that gets yearly or monthly salary increment from federal government, he/she should go and join the association or resign. If it is a private organization, will they have the guts to even dictate their increment. The problem is that they lack patriotism and see Nigeria as national cake that must be shared, that is why they hide under canopy of senator collects 1 billion a month, blah, blah..., they are free and academically qualify as well to become senator; they should go and join and collect their own 1 billion and spare us all these logical and emotional fight



The visitation government has been paid to schools in the name of NUC. What has ever come out of it? Is it not the same lecturers that usually frustrate government committe when they go for accreditation. Is it not the same ASUU members who usually lie to government that everything is ok with their departments and schools during accreditation by going out to nearby polytechnics or nearby universities to borrow equipment they want to use for accreditation to deceive goverment. After accreditation, they will return the equipment back to schools where they borrowed them without using them for their students' practicals.

Some schools will admit students more than equipment and resources they have and what government stipulate, during accreditation, they will tell students with matric number 1 to 100 to come to school while 101 to 1000 to stay at home to deceive government; and later come back to blame the same government. Some of them will even sell workshop equipment and laboratory chemicals. Every strata of academic system needs to be restructured to become more functional instead of turning-out potential unemployable students every year, of which some of them after frustration due to joblessness turn out to become terrors to the societies

Methods of recruiting lecturers into universities and polytechniques should be reviewed. We should stop emphasizing only on academic qualifications and how many journals published; we should include industrial work experience and ability to teach student or transfer knowledge even to the dullests in the class. Government should discourage employing fresh graduates with distinction into our academic system without industrial working experiences. Many of the lecturers never had industrial working experience and they want to train students to go to industries they themselves never worked for one day. How is it going to help our academic system?

Check Harvard, MIT lecturers, check their profiles. Many of them are currently working in the industries and they are still lecturing, some of them are inventors and have companies producing their inventions, yet they are still le lecturers in those schools I mentioned above, but is the opposite here in Nigeria. What is the advantage of professor who can not transfer useful and applicable knowledge to younger generation after two hours class lecture? Is it not useless, but they are collecting salaries for nothing?And even reasonable researches, they can't carry out except sex for mark!
