This news really saddens my heart...7years plus in the university all because of one form of strike or the other..
Using one tool to fight the government over and over again yet no tangible lasting solution. Wont you change tactics. i mean it’s only a fool who does something in a particular way and manner over again and expects a different result..haba.. Wherever you read or hear the name ASUU there will surely be the word "strike" in that same sentence or conversation...very annoying lots..i
u hardly see foreign students in Nigeria universities these days cos of this incessant disruption of academic calendars...the government is irresponsible. Yes we know! But must you further contribute to the decay of our tertiary institutions. u say if not for ASUU struggle, Nigeria federal universities would have been on shamble s or the school fees would have been exorbitantly high. bla bla bla....now i ask u ASUU, are schools like uniilorin,lasu and other states universities not doing well too? are the school fees of these institution very high?
looking forward to seeing that day when i will read news like " ASUU urges the federal government to heed to its demands or else they would temporarily call of its members to discontinue the research of a vaccine for endemic illness like say malaria, or drugs or economics , agricultural, mining , conflict resolution strategies..."..Never!!! all you hear is ASUU threatens strike, strike and strike cos of cos that’s the only bargaining power they have.....mtchheeww
and for those of you praying for school to resume next year, well i believe you guys are still kids in probably your first or second year (no insult intended) my prayer for u is that may ASUU strike and other strikes that may continue to happen in future not put u in a position that jobs would reject you not cos u didn’t do excellently well in job interviews but simply because you have exceeded the age limit needed for employment

The Permanent Secretary of the State House, Tijani Umar, has said the N1.3bn approved for Villa clinic was too small.
He spoke in an interview with journalists on Thursday after defending 2021 budget estimate before the Senate Committee on Federal Character and Intergovernmental Affairs State.
The Permanent Secretary who promised to put necessary arrangements in place to meet the medical needs of the President and other top officials once the budget was approved said, “The N1.3bn is absolutely inadequate when you juxtapose the amount proposed, the labour, and the status of the principals that the project is going to serve.
“When compared with worldwide standards, you’ll see that it is not anything near what we need.
“It (the clinic), is considered a legacy project for us because we want to leave something down.
“We have realigned some many things and one of the fundamental challenges we have dealt with is the sustainable supply of drugs and consumables.”
Earlier, the Senate told officials of the State House to discourage the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), from foreign trips for medical treatment by ensuring that the State House clinic becomes functional.
The State House official had presented a budget of N19.7bn for 2021, out of which N1.3bn was proposed for the State House Clinic. The Chairman of the Senate panel, Senator Danjuma La’ah, said the committee would approve the budget for the State House Clinic but the President and other top officials should no longer be flown abroad for medical treatment.
He said, “Our President is not a man to be taken out anytime or whenever anything happens to him on sickness matter.
ASUU_We can’t go back to school with empty stomach
The eight month ASUU strike seems not to be ending soon as the striking lecturers said they won’t go back to classed on empty stomachs.
Union members in Calabar vowed to continue with the strike until the Federal Government meets the union’s demands/
Dr Aniekan Brown who is the zonal chairman of the union, disclosed this when he addressed a press conference at the University of Calabar. He said;
“Sometimes, either by deliberate ill-intended machinations or for want of understanding, ASUU’s struggles are misunderstood.
In the light of the above, it considered expedient to engage the public, to bring to the fore ASUU’s stance on the on-going strike action, and the government-induced distraction known as the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System and the Federal Government of Nigeria’s illicit commitment, hard-work, determination, and treachery to forcefully migrate staff of Federal Universities to IPPIS.”
The press conference was attended by ASUU chairmen from universities in the zone which comprises Abia State University, Akwa Ibom State University, Cross River University of Technology, Alex Ekwueme University, Ebonyi, University of Uyo and University of Calabar.
Nigerian Universities have been closed for eight months after ASUU declared an indefinite strike in March this year. The union’s president, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi, who announced the strike at a press conference, said the strike is over the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System and the non-implementation of the 2009 agreement.
The Taraba State government has inaugurated an 11-man task force committee to recover all looted items, as well as assess the level of damage done to private and government facilities in four local government areas of the state.
The deputy governor, Haruna Manu, inaugurated the committee on Friday in Jalingo, the state capital.
He explained that the rationale behind the constitution of the committee was to right the wrongs of the rampaging youths during the lootings carried out between October 24 and 27.
“The state government, in its constitutional responsibility of protecting lives and property, has already taken measures to curtail the excesses of these hoodlums who derive pleasure in violence by looting in the state capital and other three local government areas of Ardo-Kola, Takum, and Wukari,” he said.
Manu added, “Government has decided to set up this task force committee to recover all looted items from public and private offices or surrendered items in the state with a view to restoring them to their rightful owners who have fallen victims of circumstance.”
In his remarks at the inauguration ceremony, he listed the terms of reference to include identifying all persons who aided or abated the removal of public and private properties.
The committee was also charged to identify and ascertain all public and private properties looted, and the extent of damage or losses occasioned by the violence in the state.
Manu urged the committee led by Retired Lieutenant Colonel Nashuka Tukura to work within the ambit of the law and the Constitution of the country.
He also asked the members to identify casualties, recommend the way forward, and tender their report within 14 days.
“I call on the residents of Taraba to join hands and cooperate with the committee members to restore sanity to the socio-economic and political life of the state in order to bring about the desired development,” the deputy governor said.
He called on those involved in the looting to willingly surrender the items stolen, warning that failure to do so would attract severe consequences.
