manneger2: ASUU strike called off!; congratulations to all university students, just
about an hour ago the
ASUU chairman broke the announcement, which
is considered a big one for all university
students. After calling off the strike, the media
went ahead to ask if the federal government has
met the demands of ASUU. Out of dismay,the ASUU chairman shook
his head and said he was
disappointed with the media more than he his with
the FG, saying the media formed a deaf ear to
the strike, that an average Nigerian does not
know that universities are on strike. He
condemned the media's lack of publicity. After expressing his anger he went
ahead to say that
the Government is doing nothing concerning our
demands, even after a closed door meeting with
the education minister where the President said
he has so many issues to deal with now than to
start spending more money on universities. After the meeting however, the
chairman of the newly
formed party ACP called the chairman of ASUU to
a meeting with ACN, CPC, and the AFGAN
governor who promised ASUU that they would
give ear to ASUU's demand and will do more- one
of which every student will be given a bursary award which is to cover 50% of
every student
fee, that is, for spending 5 years in the
universities. 2 years fee would be paid by FG,
and every student who graduates with first class
would stand a chance to do their masters in
canada, while those with lower credit and pass would continue their study in
South Africa and
Ghana respectively. Also, salary of VC's would
be increased by 90%. After this meeting, the
ASUU chairman called off the strike asking all
students to resume at their various schools on
the first week of June 2015, that about 2 years time, of course after voting in
ACP. Its so sad that
you sat down and read all this poo, that means
you are as jobless as I am. Mehn, go find work do oooO!
This s
trike would last more than we thought.
