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 APGA 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.

Corruption: There is no governance in Nigeria – Ezekwesili

Pioneer Director-General of Budget Monitoring and Price Intelligence Unit (Due Process Unit), Dr Oby Ezekwesili, has called on Nigerian leaders to take seriously, the corruption charges levelled against Nigeria by economy monitoring organisations, both nationally and internationally. She spoke at a forum on leadership organised by the Day Star Christian Centre in Lagos on Wednesday. According to her, if the current administration claims to be fighting corruption and rating bodies still scores the country high in graft, it means no significant progress had been made in the fight against the menace. Ezekwesili, a chartered accountant and a co-founder of Berlin-based Transparency International, said after 53 years of independence, Nigeria had no governance but merely “massive transaction of operations”. She said: “There is no good governance in Nigeria. Good governance is about governance that gives the highest possible results and it is on ...

ASUU strike update: Don’t send your children to school, we won’t teach them – Lecturers warn parents

Image
The battle between the Federal Government and the members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has attained a new intensity following a 7-day ultimatum issued by the Presidency. Some of the striking lecturers have remained adamant despite the obvious waning in the resolve of their members evidenced by the withdrawing of some universities from the strike. The academic body has taken things even further by warning parents not to allow their wards resume in schools to avoid risking the lives of their children. Vanguard  reports : The Presidency, on its part accused ASUU leaders of treachery and warned the university lecturers not to dare the resolve of government to carry out its threat to sack them if they failed to resume.
