It is becoming really annoying and I actually feel lioke taking a whip and flog all the Assu lectures back to the classroom. I don't dispute the fact that the Our Government is a very irresposible one{without apologies}, but there is need for some sacrifice on our part. They have gone on strike as though while thry were in session, they were actually working. We all knlow how these lecturers operate on campus and their lackadisical attitude towards teaching and their students; so why the prolonged strike. I beg to say that these lecturers are purely LAZY, UNSERIOUS, & SILLY!
My candid opinion is that they get back to the classrooms and still continue their negociations. The government they are fighting have little or nothing to loose. Their kids are either in private or foreign institutions meanwhile many of these lecturers have their wards @ home now because of the strike. We have an irresposible government, they know and the world knows. Let the strike be called off, display the foolishness of the government, save our educational sector from collapsing.

ReplyDeleteThough, the strike has become really longer than expected, is not enough reason to call our honorable lecturers all sort of name.The thing is that our government is so insensitive to the fact that our future is suffering. Where in the world would a government allow her higher institutions to go on strick for this long? the lecturers have there own problems but the government should tidy their part of the agreement. What i think is that they should trace the root cause of this persistence strike and find a way of tackling the problem. I wish the lecturers can go back to classes for the sake of the nation. But the truth is that the government is not even perturb. the thing the lecturers have not realise is that the government has no value and those in power are just shameless and abase. How do you negotiate with such sameless and abase people? the problem is more complex than it appears.
It is really sad how important issues that will largely determine the future of our nation is treated with such levity. It is unthinkable that our educational system can be suspended indefinitely and the government is unconcerned.The world will not wait for Nigeria. Even smaller nations know and value a strong educational system and do all they can to sustain it, while the giant of Africa toys and plays politics with it. What sort of negotiations does the government want to go into with ASUU? They should immediately meet their demands because they are legitimate demands to which the government agreed before. Meltdown or no meltdown, the government sees enough millions to pay top politicians regularly but pays peanuts to researchers and academics who produce the nation's manpower including the politicians! It is really worrisome.
ReplyDeleteWorld Cup qualify versus ASSU.
ReplyDeleteIf the country can actually rise money for the preparation of the 'wingless eagles' through a task force, why not do the same for ASSU? The truth is that our beloved president and his ministers sees world cup qualify as more important than ASSU and our educational sector. The painfull thing is that, our leaders have lost track of their duties.If not, how come we have a minister and key part of his ministry has paralysing for three months, three solid good months, he cannot think of a solution to checkmate the problem? how can we say we have educational ministry whereas for education sector is collapsing and nothing concrete has be done to abate it? The minister should resign as a matter of incompetency or as a matter of pride if there is anthing like of such in his dictionary(just to spare himself of further embrassment).
The thing the government has not realise is the fact that they are suffering the future of Nigeria. Our country's future is put into jeopardy for the sake of selfish interest. Pleas pay our NATION BUILDERS so they can return back to class.
