Strike: Nigerian Students’ Union Slams University Lecturers Union, ASUU, Says Insisting On Six Months’ Salary Arrears Is Selfish, InconsiderateThe National Association of Nigerian Students on Thursday, slammed Nigerian university lecturers under the umbrella of the Academic Staff Union of Universities for insisting on the payment of six months’ salary arrears before it would call off its strike.
He stated,"We have directed our protests, advocacy, and struggles against the Federal Government, requesting the government to accede to the demands of the strike lecturers. "However, we condemn in totality the insistence of ASUU on the payment of a six months arrears salary for the entire period of the strike before they can call off the strike. This demand is not only insensitive; it is also selfish, inconsiderate, and uncharitable. The six months are periods of no work. As much as we encourage the government to pay their arrears irrespective, it is unfair to base resumption of academic activities on full payment of the arrears.
"University authorities have used ASUU members and leaders to expel, suspend and rusticate students for merely protesting for improved welfare. They expel and rusticate students for protesting for basic needs such as water, power, habitable hostel accommodation, etc. At some time, their anti-students’ actions are so reckless that you continue to wonder if these lecturers even understand the right to dissent.
"If the Federal Government has acceded to most of the requests that necessitated the strike in the first place, the continuation of the strike means there may be other ulterior motives not known to the public and the students and we will no longer continue to support ASUU to hold the nation and tertiary education ransom. Demanding six-month salary arrears before calling off the strike just like kidnappers demand their ransom before releasing their victim.
It's not selfishness they should pay them please terrorist earns better than hard working Nigeria
Awon student union ole...
Are they really Nigerian Students Union or another set of hired group. Just asking sha
Is this the same Buhari inside Aso Rock ? 👇🏾
Is this the same Buhari inside Aso Rock ? 👇🏾
If this is true, then they are already part of corrupt practices. and I mean the Student Union.
When we talk that one, FAKENEWS
Lecturers are becoming education hostage taker
Lectures looking at the students union Thinking what to do to them when they get back to classrooms
Again the govt has been able to distract the public with lies. The issue of salary arrears do not even arise now. The union is not there yet. FG hasn’t met any one of the 6 demands of the union.
Who is Asefon? When did he became the voice of Nigeria Students? The Buhari puppet never for once led Nigeria Students in struggle against the Buhari government. If we had NANS the Nigeria ruling elites won't be toiling with the future of students. Government must pay ASUU
Blaming them for going to bed on empty stomach for Nigerian education, what emptiness!
Asefun. The grand father representing NANS must have collected money again from the Federal government
Is it that difficult for government to hire foreign lecturers on contract basis and call off the bluff of this over sabi lecturers, how are they different from terrorist demanding for ransom to release their captives, which in this case are the students.
When them dey do us lecture Lecturers do say even if we don't attend them go still pay them Na who eye dey pepe now
Nigerian students union don high
MNK nigeria is not civilized enough to run a civilized Society, have you heard in the new that the nig senator is being owed his or monthly salary, lf no so why must a teacher be owed even for a month this is nt done anywhere in the world except in nigeria. BiafraReferendumNow
I don't think Nigerian Student union truly said this rubbish but if they did, they deserve some strong thunder attack. So let it be.
This sort of no work no pay law is almost universal, No country will encourage nor give room for laziness. Section 43 of the trade dispute act is unequivocal in insisting that striking workers are not entitled to their habitual remuneration for the period that they cease to work.
These ones don chop indomie cooked with weed
Lies!! By Buhari n his apc terrorist government.. students can never say that.. pay lecturers their money!! U all re looting enough to pay those lecturers.. alimajari govt! DivideNigeriaNow2SaveLives BiafraExit oduduwaEXit SouthernUnite
Very insensitive Student union, will there not cover those 6 months. Or do they want to start where they should start...
Why does anyone think insistence to collect the 6 months salary arrears is wrong? Going on strike is a constitutional right & if govt can get away with their failure that led to the strike while the workers forfeit their pay, then govt will never solve any labour agitation again.
Didn't Bashir collect salaries despite his disengagement? Buhari should pay ASUU. What is good for goose is also good for the gander.
NANS is drunk ooh.
They don collect.
...and if ASUU decides not to lecture them for the unpaid period ?
Dey don give them shut up,NSU don dey misyanrn!
And wickedness because their children are not affected
These set of Nigerian student union are insensitive
Very selfish and senseless
Divide and rule. No 1 tool
🙆🏿♂️🙆🏿♂️ kantry is finished. Students wey supposed join hand
