ASUU Quits Talks With FG

The negotiations between the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Federal Government collapsed again yesterday as the lecturers have pulled out of the Governor Gabriel Suswam-led Committee on Needs Assessment of Nigerian Universities.
In a letter detailing its reasons for withdrawing from the committee, ASUU said that the committee had not made progress on the issues for which it was set up, adding it was not satisfied with the way the N100 billion raised by government to rehabilitate structures in the universities was being managed.
Worse still, ASUU in the letter dated August 26 and signed by its National President, Dr. Nasir Isa Fagge, accused the Suswam committee of not being, clear on its plans for managing the funds. It cited the inclusion of a “Project Administration Fund,” even as it queried the manner which funds were allocated to universities slated to benefit from government’s intervention.
The letter stated that, “we have also noted albeit quizzically, that some N1.975 billion was allocated to the 62nd university called Project Admin Cost.
“We see no justification for allocating an amount more than what is allocated to four universities put together to a bogus Project Admin Cost”. The striking lecturers who had earlier announced their withdrawal from negotiations with the government, said that until the activities of the Suswam committee are carried out transparently and its misgivings on the modus operandi of the committee are addressed, ASUU will not return to the committee.
“In view of the foregoing, ASUU will be unable to continue in the membership of the committee until the issues raised are properly addressed”, Fagge stated.

NANS Plans Protest To End ASUU Strike

National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, plans to hold a nation-wide protest as a last resort to force the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, to end the protracted strike of university lecturers.
NANS’ President, Yinka Gbadebo, responding to allegations that the students’ body was not bothered by the 60-day-old strike, said the union had been employing other matured approaches to appeal to both the government and ASUU.
According to him, “NANS is not relaxed but we have decided to take approaches that don’t require us to make noise. We have been meeting with executive members of ASUU, the Nigerian Universities Commission, Minister of Education and the FG.
“We have also written to meet with the universities NEEDS Implementation Committee chairman and Governor of Benue State, Mr. Gabriel Suswan. If we don’t receive any response by the end of the week, we would issue an ultimatum and take it up from there.
“I have been consulting with all SUG leaders in the affected schools so that we would speak with one voice. Going to the streets would be our last option but we would do so to protest how long this strike has lingered.”

We’re Surmounting LASU’s Infrastructure Decadence – VC

With the number of completed and ongoing infrastructural projects aimed at giving the Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, a new face amongst the comity of universities in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa, one would conclude that the crisis-ridden university is heading towards its best of times

This assertion is premised on the commitment of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. John Obafunwa to transform the 29 year old institution into a citadel of first choice.

On assumption of office in November 2011, some skeptics doubted if Obafunwa had the administrative-know-how and magic-wand to transform the university which was adjudged a glorified Secondary School into an ivory tower where high standards would be set in terms of academic and infrastructural uplift.

In less than two years, many are beginning to sing a new song given a recent stock-taking exercise and tour of facilities by newsmen. They were conducted round by the Vice Chancellor and other principal officers of the university. The visible projects include: the new School of Transport Building; the seven-storey Senate Building; four-storey Central Library; a twin Lecture Theatre at the Faculty of Law; new Faculty of Sciences Complex; the three-in-one Lecture Theatre in the Faculty of Education and LASU Radio Building.

Other ongoing projects in the university are the ultra modern Students’ Union Arcade building; new Faculty of Sciences Complex; Teslim Elias Law Library and a deep drainage system. Expressing optimism over the commitment of his administration to ensure all ongoing projects and others to be earmarked later are not abandoned, Obafunwa said: “Our team has continued to work assiduously to set high standards in qualitative education, through effective teaching, research, administrative competence and technology, as well as provision of infrastructures and teaching facilities in order to add value to the image and dignity of our prestigious university.

In the last one year and eight months, some of the achievements of the University in terms of provision of infrastructures and learning facilities are an ongoing seven-storey Senate building, whose phase one is about 50 per cent complete a month ago; an ongoing four-storey New Central Library, which will be completed 18 months from now, according to the site Engineer; new Faculty of Science Complex, which is almost completed with mechanical and electrical installations ongoing.”

Obafunwa who was two-time Provost of the University’s College of Medicine, LASUCOM, Ikeja said his administration completed the Teslim Elias Law Library Building, already in use and which was commended by the accreditation team of National Universities Commission, NUC, when they visited in December 2012.

*Prof. Obafunwa, VC, LASU

“With our persistent efforts, LASU-Law, which was de-accredited in September 2010 along with 16 others, were re-accredited in March this year. Our School of Transport Building is completed, with its connection to the National grid remaining; there is an ongoing twin Lecture Theatre in Law Faculty; an ultra modern Students’ Union Arcade Building, almost completed; LASU Radio, which currently enjoys National Broadcasting Commission, NBC licence will be completed six months from now and we also have an ongoing construction of drainage system around the university to combat the menace of flooding,” he revealed.

The Forensic Pathologist while decrying the water-logged terrain of the university which leads to frequent flooding, assured that “the management is constantly in touch with officials of Lagos State Ministry of Environment on the best ways to keep flood at the barest minimum level during the rains. So, far the university has not recorded any flooding this year because of the construction of drainage system within the university. As a prerequisite for final and comprehensive repairs of our roads and control of flood, government has built new drainage system around the school’s business district area and at the Iba gate to collect waste water.

Asked reasons behind the poor state of access roads within the university, Obafunwa reiterated the management’s commitment towards improving the terrain of the university.

“The poor state of access roads is due to the current rapid constructions going on in the university. Resurfacing the roads will amount to waste of money now, especially as heavy duty trucks of the construction companies still ply them. However, this is not to say that the construction companies don’t provide palliatives on the roads. They do this regularly, even without being paid, because of our personal relationship with them,” he said.

ASUU STRIKE UPDATE : There Is No Need For ASUU To Continue Strike – Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday said there was no need for the Academic Staff Union of Universities to continue with their industrial action.
Jonathan said this at the inauguration of the Federal Government sponsored-Transformation Projects at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO).
Represented by Prof. Ruqayyat Rufai, the Minister of Education, the president said N30 billion had been released for the payment of earned allowances in all public universities.
The president said that the inaugurated projects were in line with the Federal Government’s commitment to providing quality education in the country.
He said the projects were based on the need assessment exercise conducted by the Federal Government in universities.
Jonathan urged the university administration to engage in research for national development, while stressing the need for proper maintenance of completed projects.
The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Chidozie Asiabaka, in his speech, expressed joy at the completion of the structure.
Asiabaka noted that the projects had gone a long way in tackling the dearth of basic infrastructure in the school.
“The dearth of classrooms, lecture theatres, power supply, student hostels, office accommodation, library space and facilities are major challenges my administration faced when I assumed office two years-ago,’’ he said.
The vice chancellor said with the intervention of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, the university got 1000 sitting-capacity lecture theatre, Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies Building.
He said the inaugurated projects are the new Engineering Technology, School of Environmental Technology Building, Centre for Nuclear Energy Studies and Training and the School of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology building complexes.
The others are the School of Environmental Technology building, landscaping of the campus and the provision of solar energy lights on the campus.
He also commended the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) on the completion of the giant student hostel building in the university.
He lauded the Federal Government for the release of N1 billion for the development of capital projects in each public funded university. (NAN)

We will introduce "Students' Loan" instead of honouring ASUU's Demand -FG

The Nigerian Government has decided to break off negotiation with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) over what it called the infiltration of the union by the opposition to discredit the government.
SaharaReporters gathered that as the committee set up by the Nigerian government to negotiate with the union gave a verdict of non-compromise on the part of the union and 'security report' of the infiltration of the opposition, it decided to break the negotiation.
It was revealed that the committee had reported to the government that the union had remained 'rigid and unbending' to suggestions on how to agree on some of the issues it was agitating for so as to end the strike which had entered its ninth week.
The committee had told the government that the union leaders were arrogant and selfish as their interest was paramount to that of their students who had been at home all this while.
The government after the report told the committee members that it had fresh security report that the union's stance on the lingering crisis in the education sector was as a result of the opposition's infiltration into the union.
It said the opposition wants to portray the government as irrational and uncaring to the plight of the lecturers and their students as well as present the government in bad light to Nigerians and the international community.
The government in breaking the negotiation has decided to fund individual student's education as it is done in advanced countries.
As a way of making nonsense of the industrial action by ASUU, SaharaReporters gathered that the government plans to introduce loans to the students throughout their period in the university so as to cushion the effect of the financial hardship on the students.
The government expects the students to re-pay the loans after graduation provided they get jobs of their choice. It however could not be ascertained how the loan to the students would compel the lecturers to call off the strike.
The National President of ASUU, Dr. Nasir Fagee, had last week during a press conference at the University of Lagos, Nigeria said the union had pulled out of the negotiation between the union and the Nigerian government citing insincerity as reason for its decision, adding that the union would not call off its strike until the agreement the government signed with the union in 2009 is honoured.

ASUU STRIKE UPDATE

Return To Classroom, Group Tells ASUU

An Abuja-based group, the Transformation Agenda Solidarity Forum, has called on striking members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities to call off their strike and return to the classrooms.

But a chieftain off the All Progressives Congress in Kwara State, Mohammed Belgore (SAN), has called on the Federal Government to honour agreement with the lecturers.

The group said in a communiqué signed by Deputy Chairman of the group, Dr. Aboki Zhawa, that the President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, had responded positively to the issues raised by the striking lecturers.

They urged ASUU to call off the strike in the interest of the Nigerian students, who the group claimed, suffered the adverse effect of the lingering industrial action.

“The Forum flays the continuous stay at home by university lecturers despite the efforts of Mr. President who has sufficiently responded to the demands of ASUU.

“The forum calls on ASUU to return to class immediately in the interest of our children who are the direct victims of this unnecessarily prolonged strike action,” the communiqué read in part.

But Belgore in a statement by his media aide, Rafiu Ajakaye, appealed to the government to consider the students who are more adversely affected by the strike.

Belgore, who was the Kwara State governorship candidate in 2011 under the now defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, said the future was bleak unless Nigeria jerked up its commitment to educate the Nigerian child.

“As a citizen of this country and a politician who shares the view that the Nigerian child, irrespective of their backgrounds, should have access to quality education, I align myself with the calls on the government to fulfil its promise made to the teachers in the agreement signed way back in 2009.

ASUU STRIKE UPDATE

ASUU Strike: Students’ Peaceful Protest turns bloody in Delta State

Report reaching us at EDUSOLUTIONS said a peaceful protest organized by Nigerian Students in Delta State over the continuous Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike turned out to be bloody as police were alleged to have fired both tear gas and gunshots at students to prevent them from protesting.
Consequently many of the students were alleged to have received various degree of injuries.
Presently, a 300L DELSU student who was allegedly seriously injured is receiving treatment in an hospital.

Our reporter gathered that three of the students who were critically injured as a result of the police action are admitted in different hospitals within the state.
Narrating his a experience, a students wrote and we quote: In the course of the police shooting sporadically and firing canisters of tear gas, many students and even journalists sustained various degree of injuries with three students critically injured. They are presently receiving treatment at St. Joseph Hospital Asaba,” the student reported.
The students who alleged that the State Government did not show any interest about the plight, however appealed to the Inspector General of Police Mr Mohammed Abubakar to investigate the issues for them to get Justice.
The surprise is: why would a trained policeman shoot at students in a peaceful protest??

ASUU STRIKE UPDATE

HOPES: FG Directs ASUU To Go Back To Classroom!

Despite the resolve on Thursday by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, to continue the on-going strike until all agreements signed in 2009 are reached, thefederal government, on Friday, ordered that lecturers should go back to classrooms after it had disbursed the sum of N30 billion for earned academic allowances.

The directive which was given by the secretary to the government of the federation, Sen Anyim Pius Anyim, during a meeting between the federal government and the vice-chancellors of the 61 public universities, stated that "Government, hereby, urges every staff of the nation's universities to return to work as all issues are being resolved."

He said with particular reference to the contentious issue of earned allowances, every staff of the universities that is so entitled should verify his claim with the university council and accordingly get paid as "from the foregoing, it is obvious that government has demonstrated sufficient commitment to the implementation of the 2009 FG/ASUU agreement.

"After series of discussions, government has now provided N30 billion to support the university councils in settling the earned allowances. The amount will be disbursed to the various university councils which are in the position to know who is entitled to how much after verification."

He revealed that "Traditionally, universities pay this to deserving staff but because of the amount which ASUU now claims as arrears, government has decided to assist the university councils to pay" as government did not receive any computation of amount involved until February, 2013.

"By this computation, ASUU is claiming N92 billion as arrears for three year's payment based on percentage rage of between 15 and 20 per cent of personnel cost."

While there was consensus that revitalising the tertiary institutions is of critical importance to the nation, Anyim noted that "when put together, the amount of funds from the budgetary and non-budgetary sources that goes into the sector is quite huge but without corresponding impact.

While acknowledging the contributions of the Non-Academic Staff Union, NASU, Senior Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, and other stakeholders, Anyim reiterated the government's resolve 'to bringing the students back to school and appreciated the patience of parents and students as government is making every effort to revitalise the university system."

It would be recalled that on July 2, 2013, ASUU declared what it called "total and indefinite strike" over issues it says has remained unresolved pertaining to an agreement it reached with government in 2009.
