December 6, 2022The lecturers made an appeal to well-meaning Nigerians to pressure the government into releasing the members' withheld salaries, adding that they viewed the pro-rata payment of salaries to some of its members in October as casualisation.
The university lecturers made this known in a statement signed by its President Emmanuel Osodeke at the union National Executive Council meeting, which was held at the University of Calabar. The statement reads: “NEC observed with concern the systematic disengagement of government from funding of Public Universities through the proposed introduction of education loan which has proven to be a monumental failure in our nation and some other countries where it was introduced.
"The Union calls the attention of Nigerians to the lingering issue of renegotiation of the 2009 FGN-ASUU Agreement which was the initial issue that led to the just suspended strike. More worrisome is the increasing anti-labour posture of government, suggestive of attempts to abrogate the principle of collective bargaining agreement.
When they strike now, everyone incjuding government will claim what they know to do is to strike and that is when they will notice they have been talking. In fact, government should be held responsible for strikes.
Students now pay lecturers 😭with the school fees increment How do we students that strive for ourselves pay this 😭😭😭is very unfair
Nobody is talking about the treasures that was discovered in sambisa forest that is capable of producing 5 Dubai . Nobody is asking the presidential candidates why they haven’t included this in their manifesto. Nobody is questioning the government on matters like this.Why? ASUU
I'm Not in Support of ASUU paid Strike, thats like an acute Blackmail. Conversely, the sh=chools have started and they have gone back to increase school fees to Punish students and Parents which looks like extortion having it for students to Boycott classes
And the APC government don't want to pay them their dues, remember they too has children to feed
No matter how long it takes, the FG would at the end be compelled to eat the humble pie and pay all outstanding salaries and allowances. Buhari and the APC, were it possible, would convert all universities in the country to almajiri universities; but they would fail!
Is he smiling ?...naija is on auto pilot!!..no need for PMB to do anything again!!
ASUU is talking now but this is not the language the government understand
Make una just wait till after election. Nobody really cares anymore
Greedy set of Lecturers
