In the evening now ASU ll deny the FG...

ASUU holding Nigeria to ransom, imagine after wasting 9 months of youths time, they are still been paid for not doing anything in particular. The same set of lecturers will own private schools and never pay them for even holidays like COVID 19 lockdown

pautex:
, FTC at last, after 3 years of trying. 2021 shall be the best year for us all.

Varsity teachers get two-month salary arrears

starz100:
How lecturers are collecting salaries without work being done and people are still hailing them beats my imaginations. In other climes this cannot happen.In a saner society the students body suppose to sue both the FG and ASUU for time loss. The students who are at the receiving end suffer it all. Whether FG pays 2months or 4, the truth is FG will pay everything las las, because all that is part of the agreement.
Like someone said, they both are cruising with students and the result is that the education sector will suffer most. The effect will not be felt now but in the future, already a lot of students have drop out, some have traded with their school fees.
Finally, we should learn from country like Singapore how education is run and the value it is worth

HigherEd:
Lmao. ASUU, the union that deals with FG. It's unfortunate that medical associations can't use ASUU model, less people would die.

But I must tell you that comparative to healthcare, education is well funded due to the many concessions govt has made.

Bar1941:
Between Baba dollard and ASUU executive members, I don't know who is more useless.

These lectures are damn selfish, they will lie they are fighting for provision of infrastructures in our tertiary institutions but the underlying reason behind whatever strike they embarked upon is their personal welfare.

Since almost three decades to the best of my knowledge, this people have been using thesame unproductive tactic called strike to demand for their right (as they always claimed) yet the result is always thesame,

can't they do away with this archaic method and use a modern way that can guarantee a better outcome? No University union in Africa (except where their is war) locked the gates to learning this days for a year not to talk of Universities around the world, what is wrong with our lecturers?

After collecting the salary now, they are thinking of calling off the strike, however, the reasons they said brought about the strike is still intact

am sure after a year or two they will give thesame foolish reason to embark on another strike.

proffemi:



And you think it is wrong for a trade union to fight for the welfare of its members?
How is it ASUU's fault that government reneges on agreements? That all entreaties to stakeholders to hold government accountable prove useless? That government fails to respond after multiple warnings? That government fails to show any seriousness in tackling the issues until X months after the commencement of strike actions? If only you followed the news more attentively, you'd realize that the FG has promised to pay N30 billion specifically for infrastructure before Dec 31st.


Unproductive This is incorrect. ASUU strikes have yielded massive dividends over the years. The easiest example I always cite is TETFUND, but over the years, every single strike has led to the injection of more funds into the universities for "revitalization".



We have always requested for smart people like you to propose alternatives that can force successive irresponsible Nigerian governments to fund education, but they always disappear into the woodwork with excuses. I hope you will prove me wrong: please suggest one alternative mechanism that anyone has used to successfully compel Nigerian governments to do anything.


Wrong. Ridiculously so. You would do well to familiarize yourself with the list of ASUU's demands and to what extent they have been addressed by government.


Possible but unlikely. There are elements within ASUU working to chart a new course of action to improve the system. If successful, that new course will reduce strikes. Before you (or students) cheer, I should warn that the new course will be even more unpopular than strikes (hint: y'all will find yourselves paying considerably more tuition. But, hey, there won't be any more strikes...).

Cheers.

...many a time some of their demands are outrageous

they stayed away from work with many of them engaging in personal businesses yet expect pay from the government...

...IT'S THESAME PROBLEM EVERY SECTORS OF THE ECONOMY IS FACING, WE NEED TO GET IT RIGHT FROM THE ROOT (bad leadership) BEFORE WE CAN FORGE AHEAD AND THIS MUST BE A GRADUAL PROCESS NOT ALL AT ONCE AS ASUU ALWAYS WANTED.

THE FUTURE OF THE STUDENTS ARE ALWAYS BEING DISTORTED EVERY SECONDS ASSU EMBARKS ON A STRIKE.

MAY GOD HELP OUR NATION.

8 to 9, can u imagine

Vanzcharles:


Its obvious you are still behind. This comment shouldn't be here, the strike was called off since Morning by past 9 in a live conference which was aired by channels TV.
