The National Universities Commission has directed Vice-Chancellors of Universities to suspend academic activities involving large crowds on their campuses.

The decision came barely three days after the Academic Staff Union of Universities suspended its nine-month-old strike.

The Federal Government, had also issued a circular directing Officers on Grade Level 12 and below to stay at home for a period of five weeks, effective from Wednesday December, 23 2020, following the resurgence in the number of COVID-19 cases.

The NUC in a circular by its Deputy Executive Secretary (Administration), Chris Maiyaki, said classrooms, hostel accommodation, conferences and seminars should be suspended.

The commission also directed that universities should remain closed during the intervening period, pending further directives by goverment on the reopening of schools.

‌
Maiyaki said, “Vice-Chancellors are to please note that the directive is part of the measures approved by Mr. President to mitigate the second wave of coronavirus infections in the country.

“The affected officers are expected to perform their duties from home while those on GL13 and above should strictly adhere to the extant preventive measures, including maintenance of physical distancing, regular washing of hands and/or sanitizing of hands, wearing of face masks and reducing the number of visitors to offices.”

Them Don start again

ASUU GO ASUU CUM

suspend what activities? when they were already on strike ??

ASUU ,NOW YOUR STRIKE CONTINUE.
Many students want the strike to end but do not want to go back to school the same way we do not want to die but want to make heaven.
We do not like school. We pursue certificate.

Why do student dislike schooling?

Many years ago, people gathered to share their ugly academic experience. In the midst of their discussion, some said

” All thermodynamics lecturers are wicked”

So many people nodded in aggrement. I mean people from various tertiary institution studying chemistry,physics, and all form of engineering. My own thermodynamics lecturer was given an alliance of a popular terrorist. It was as if all the thermodynamics teachers had a meeting and took an oath of wickedness. This got me thinking .

” does subject create terrible teachers ?” That is

Will a good teacher suddenly turn terrible simple because he is assigned to teach a particular course ?”

I examined the course in question and realized the subject itself are difficult to understand. Mathematics for example is dreaded by student. These students manage to learn enough to graduate and forget a large amount of what Is learnt immediately after graduation. Because of the unemployment problem in the country, these students find themselves as teachers and lecturers and are asked to teach the subject they once hated. The hatred for the subject resurfaces coupled with the fact that they do not know much. As a teacher,they have to maintain the illusion that they know. They do this by putting up a wicked looking face to scare students from asking much question so as not to expose their incompetence.

Secondly, some subjects are difficult to teach. Some phenomenon can be explained best using computer stimulated teaching aids which are unavailable in most academic institution. It takes a genius teacher to use an a better concept to relate the subject to the student interest for better comprehension.

But terrible teaching is not just a function of subject. Teachers personality. have a role to play. Highly Temperamental teachers make terrible teachers.impatient teachers do not give students enough opportunity to make mistake. They expect students to get it right at first attempt and would rush the scheme of work despite student slow comprehension ability. People who do not enjoy being around children make terrible teachers.

Becoming a better teachet requires a great deal of effort to know and understand the subject more,and be willing to change bones behavior in the classroom.

I know who is most useless whether it is Buhari or ASUU.
While their counterparts are in laboratories conducting researches on Covid 19 vaccines, our own are on negotiating table discussing nonsense

Clowns

The same issues raised by ASUU, If government funds well, would there not have been a better plan? Most institutions are not even enabled for on: line learning. It's a shame when we keep wasting time which is the most precious thing.

Govt need to increase the school fee price or allow universities to generate private funding. As long as universities major source of finance comes from the government, our universities will remain in shambles

Government does not need to increase school fees.

All the government needs is to prioritize spendings on education.

We spend too much financing institutions such as the National Assembly.

Why are our lawmakers paid salaries, instead of wages? They should be paid only when they sit.

Then, we need to remove duplicate agencies such as ICPC or EFCC.

Those are just a few examples of what government can do?

Also, our universities run many programs which I don't think they make remittance to government.

All those pre-degree, diploma, and certificate programs should generate a lot of private funds for these universities.
