Strike: ASUU issue more complicated than Nigerians think —FG

THE Federal Government said, yesterday, that the issue concerning the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, and three other university-based unions was not as simple as people think. It also approved the establishment of e-learning centres for primary schools across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja.

Minister of information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, disclosed this while briefing State House correspondents at the end of the virtual Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari, at the Council Chambers, Presidential Villa, Abuja.

It would be recalled that ASUU embarked on strike on February 14, over unresolved issues with the Federal Government and since then, all the public universities have been shut down.

Strike: We’re waiting to hear from FG, says ASUU

The striking Academic Staff Union of Universities has said it is awaiting the response of the Federal Government on its demands.

BrandNewsDay had reported that the Federal Government’s renegotiation committee headed by Prof. Nimi Briggs met with ASUU leadership on Monday in continuation of the renegotiation of the FGN-ASUU 2009 agreements with the four university unions, which are all currently on strike.

The President of ASUU, Emmanuel Osodeke, told our correspondent that the meeting was fair, saying they were expecting the government to respond to the issues they discussed with the committee.

Osodeke also said there was no new invitation from the committee.

He said, “They will call us when they are ready for another meeting, but none for now. We have had about three meetings with them.’’

Strike: ASUU to sanction non-complying chapters

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has threatened to query universities that have failed to comply with its decision to remain on strike while negotiations with the Federal Government continue.

ASUU President, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Abuja.

BrandNewsDay recalls that ASUU had been on strike for the past five months to press home its demands.

The striking lecturers’ demands include funding for the revitalisation of public universities, Earned Academic Allowances, University Transparency Accountability Solution and promotion arrears.

Others are the renegotiation of the 2009 ASUU-FG Agreement and the inconsistency in the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System.

NAN, however, reports that since the union embarked on strike, some of its members have pulled out of the ongoing strike to resume their academic activities.

But Osodeke said, “We will punish those who have pulled out from our ongoing strike the appropriate way.

“We will ensure we query them and we will follow it up the appropriate way. We have even queried some of them in accordance with the union’s rules.”

ASUU latest news on resumption

We’re not beggars, hunger won’t force us to resume, ASUU tells FG

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has said its members are not beggars and the stoppage of their salaries by the government won’t force them to call off their strike.

The leadership of the union also commended the members for keeping faith with the union despite the hardship imposed on their families as a result of the No-Work-No-Pay directive of the Federal Government.

Following the failure of the government to meet some lingering demands of the union, ASUU on February 14, 2022, announced a one-month warning strike, followed by another eight-week strike before it eventually commenced its indefinite strike.

The continued strike led to the imposition of No-Work-No-Pay by the Federal Government. The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, said the directive was in compliance with Section 43 of the Labour Law.

Though some of the demands by the union are still undergoing negotiations, the ASUU President, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, expressed optimism that the union was on the threshold of victory.

He however noted that the resolve of the union forced the government to engage in negotiations.

ASUU Strike Unnecessary, Says JAMB Registrar

The Registrar of Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Ishaq Oloyede, yesterday, bemoaned the current strike action embarked on by the members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

He however described the ongoing industrial action by members of the unions as unnecessary.

Professor Oloyede, who was a former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, stated this when the university admission regulatory agency presented multi-billion naira medical equipment to the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH) for improved healthcare delivery in the country, in collaboration with a US-based agency, Project Cure.

The JAMB registrar said that incessant strike action by unions in the nation’s tertiary institution was capable of causing irreparable damage to not just the students but also to the nation.

Oloyede urged both the government and the unions to find ways of putting an end to the “unnecessary strike action”.

NLC Urges FG To End Strike By ASUU, Other

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has called on the Federal Government to end the strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities and other university-based unions.

The NLC President, Mr Ayuba Wabba, made the call in his contributions to the report of the Director-General, International Labour Organisation, during the 110th International Labour Conference in Geneva, Switzerland.

Why we stop protests over ASUU strike, by NANS

The leadership of the National Association of Nigeria Students (NANS) has explained why it has suspended its nationwide protest over the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

The association accused the Federal Government of sabotaging the genuine protests to compel the lecturers to reopen public universities.

Renegotiation Of 2009 Agreement At Advanced Stage – ASUU

ASUU has revealed that the renegotiation of the 2009 agreement with FG is at an advanced stage.

BrandNewsDay reports that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said the renegotiation of the 2009 agreement between the Federal Government and the union has reached an advanced stage.

The union encouraged its members to remain focused to the end “of the struggle.”

The union made this known in a memo titled, “Strike bulletin number 6”, signed by its National President, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, and made available to all branches of the union.

Government Suspends ASUU, SSANU, NASU, ASUP Over Strike

Government has suspended ASUU, SSANU, NASU, ASUP over ongoing strike.

BrandNewsDay reports that the Edo State Government on Wednesday, June 8, 2022, suspended union activities in all state-owned tertiary institutions of higher learning in the state.

This online news platform understands that the decision was Peeved by Tuesday’s protest in Benin by students of Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma over the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and other unions.

A statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr Osarodion Ogie after a State Executive Council meeting in Benin sighted by BrandNewsDay, listed the affected unions as ASUU, Non-Academic Staff of Universities (NASU), Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities (SSANU), Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP), Non-Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics and all allied unions in state-owned tertiary institutions.

The statement noted, “By this notice, academic activities are to resume in all state-owned institutions and all cadre of staff are directed to report to their duty posts immediately.

Federal Government Confirms When ASUU Strike Will Be Called Off

The Federal Government has Confirmed When ASUU Strike Will Be Called Off, Brand News Day confirms.

BrandNewsDay reports that the Federal Government of Nigeria on Wednesday, June 22, said the ongoing ASUU strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities would soon be called off.

This online news platform understands that the FG also said there are no plans to establish an alternative payment table for all the labour unions in tertiary institutions.

Chris Ngige, the Minister of Labour and Employment, disclosed this while briefing State House Correspondents at the end of the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Council Chambers of the presidential villa in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, on Wednesday, June 22, 2022.

Despite four months into the strike already, Ngige assured Nigerians that efforts were underway to resolve the ongoing dispute largely fueled by payment platforms.

ASUU, which grounded academic activities in Nigerian universities since February 14, 2022, had insisted on the use of its own generated payment platform, University Transparency, and Accountability Solution.

Northern Elders Slam Buhari, Amaechi, Ngige Over ASUU, Train Attack

Northern Elders Slam Buhari, Amechi, Ngige Over ASUU, Train Attack, details can be accessed below.

BrandNewsDay Nigeria reports that Northern Elders Forum (NEF), has slammed President Buhari, Rotimi Amechi, and Chris Ngige over their handling of the state of the economy, ASUU strike, and continuous train attack.

According to the Northern Elders Forum said it is regrettable that President Buhari does not care who runs the country in a mess as the economy of the country moves from bad to worse.

National convener of the Northern Elders Forum, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed said it was bad that President Buhari and his cabinet members are not disturbed by the problems facing the country.

Northern Elders said it was displeasing that Labour and Employment Minister, Chris Ngige, is mismanaging the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU crisis which has led the strike to prolonge to four months without any foreseeable resolution.

Northern Elders stated that while the university education is shut down as a result of Buhari and Ngige’s lapses, Ngige is chasing presidential ambition.

ASUU strike: Pass no-confidence vote in Buhari, HURIWA tells NASS

Civil rights advocacy group, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, has called on the National Assembly to pass a vote of no confidence on the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

According to the group, the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, which began on February 14, has endangered the security of the country with students being out of classrooms.

This was contained in a statement signed by the National Coordinator, HURIWA, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, on Wednesday, which noted that students could have been recruited to commit crimes such as terrorism, banditry, Internet fraud, prostitution, and drug trafficking.

The statement read in part, “We call on the National Assembly to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari for letting the ASUU strike linger thereby endangering national security. Everyone knows an idle hand is the devil’s workshop. This is why it is not imaginable that some undergraduate youths would have gone into sophisticated crimes such as kidnappings, cultism, terrorism, and drug trafficking, amongst others.

“The government’s inability to resolve the industrial crisis in the public universities whereby over 70 per cent of youths attend because they are from poor backgrounds is a direct declaration of war on the youths.

“HURIWA, therefore, urged the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, to be a man now that he couldn’t get his promised presidential candidacy from the cabal in Aso Rock. He should do the needful and etch his name on the sands of time by impeaching the President.”
