ASUU Strike News Update Today 7th January 2019

ASUU Vows To Pursue Ongoing Strike To Logical Conclusion

– The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) says the 2019 elections will not stop its struggle to revitalise public varsities in the country

– The chairman of ASUU, University of Ibadan chapter, Deji Omole, says ASUU is not part of INEC and that the electoral commission can look elsewhere for ad-hoc staff to conduct the election

– Omole notes that what Nigerians are only interested in is credible election and not participation of lecturers The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said it is ready to pursue its ongoing strike to a logical conclusion irrespective of whether there would be general elections or not.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Yakub Mahmood, had said that the planned ASUU strike might affect the 2019 general election.

But the chairman of ASUU, University of Ibadan (UI) chapter, Deji Omole, stated on Thursday, January 3, that the union would not be distracted by the 2019 elections in its struggle to revitalise public varsities.

He added that INEC could recruit ad-hoc staff from eligible Nigerians “who are in their millions’’. “We are not part of INEC, therefore, INEC can look elsewhere for ad-hoc staff to conduct the election. “What Nigerians are only interested in is credible election and not participation of lecturers. “Even when we were not on strike, not all our members are interested in participating in the elections, because it is a voluntary thing
Whoever that feels like participating in the elections can go ahead to participate. “If you check in the letter addressed to individuals that have participated in the election in the past, the letter is addressed to individuals and not to ASUU,” the UI ASUU chairman said. He said that the demand of the union that the MoU of 2017 be implemented was sacrosanct. Omole said that once the union saw the commitment of government, the leadership would bring it back to them at chapters, where it would be taken to their congresses and redirect to national for necessary action
The UI ASUU chairman urged Nigerians to continue to put pressure on government to do the needful by investing more in funding education. He said that private education was not an alternative to public schools and called on all Nigerians to support the strike to salvage the university system in Nigeria..
Meanwhile, some undergraduate students in Nsukka, on Thursday, January 3, appealed to the federal government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to shift grounds in order to resolve their issues. News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Charles Odoko from the department of economics, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, urged relevant stakeholders in the country to intervene and prevail on ASUU and government to reach a compromise so that the strike would be called off. Another student, Jane Ukaegbu, of the department of political science at the University of Lagos, said that government and ASUU should consider the future of students and place that above other interests by resolving the dispute.

FG Planning To Inject N15.89b To ASUU’S Account To End Strike

Nigerian Universities may resume soon, with the Federal Government making concessions to the striking Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

The concessions will be tabled before the union’s leaders on Monday at a meeting to be convened by Labour and Employment Minister Chris Ngige.

The Minister has reached out to the ASUU leadership for the “robust feedback session” with the hope that the union will return to the negotiation table.

Varsity lecturers on November 4, last year, began a strike to push the implementation of the 2017 Memorandum of Action.

The Memorandum was a follow-up to the 2009 FG-ASUU Agreement.

ASUU National President Biodun Ogunyemi attributed the strike to “the insincerity of government in meeting our demands”.

The demands are:
payment of shortfall in salaries of universities;
waiver/ government fiat to set up Nigerian Universities Pension Management Company;

(NUPEMCO);
revitalisation funds for varsities; and
payment of earned academic allowances for lecturers, senior staff and other workers.

But on Monday, the Federal Government succeeded in addressing the demands of the lecturers and other unions.

“One of the conditions met by the Federal Government was the release of N15.89billion to universities on New Year’s Eve( Monday) for the payment of shortfall in salaries of universities,” a source told The Nation.

“The cash is expected to hit the account of all the institutions on or before the close of work today (Wednesday),” he added, pleading not to be named.

“The government has also set aside N20billion as revitalisation funds for varsities. The National Universities Commission( NUC) has been directed to work out the modalities for allocating the funds to all institutions.

“On the demand for the setting up of Nigerian Universities Pension Management Company

( NUPEMCO), the government has directed the National Pension Commission (NUPEMCO) to issue a licence for the company’s take-off.

“Funds have also been set aside for Earned Academic allowances for lecturers, senior staff and other workers.”

Replying a question, the source added: “This agreement was inherited by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, but despite the lean resources available to the government as a result of the fall in oil prices, we have done our best to meet ASUU demands.”

Ngige said: “We have gone far in considering the demands of the lecturers. We have substantially met the conditions.

“I am meeting with ASUU leaders on Monday where all steps taken by the government will be tabled before them. This is a responsive and transparent government, we have done our best to meet the conditions.

“In fact, officials from the Ministry of Budget and National Planning will be at the next meeting with ASUU leadership where they will be briefed on facts and figures.

“We are hopeful that the actions taken by the government will be acceptable to ASUU for our schools to reopen.”

ASUU Chairman in the Southwest Zone Dr. Deji Omole denied knowledge of any updates on the union’s negotiation with the Federal Government.

Omole, who is also the Chairman, University of Ibadan chapter , told Akelicious that the government was yet to call another meeting in the ongoing negotiation since over two weeks ago.

He said the negotiating committee was awaiting announcement of a new date for talks.

2019 UTME: JAMB Issues Warning To Candidates

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has called on prospective candidates to disregard advertisements in the social media, announcing sales of registration documents with some illegal centres and subject combinations.

The board’s Head, Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin, gave the warning in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos.

He said: “It has come to the notice of the board that some fraudsters have listed out centres for the examination and in the process, inserted some illegal ones.

“Let me state here that all the processes concerning the board can only be done by approved Computer Based Centres (CBT).”
According to Benjamin, over 700 centres have so far been accredited for the conduct of the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) scheduled to commence on March 16.

He said JAMB would soon publish the list of all approved centres in all its state offices nationwide to guide prospective candidates in choosing centres nearest to them.
He announced that the sales of registration documents for the examination would commence on Jan. 10.

“Already the list of over 700 accredited centres for this examination has been uploaded on our website.
“But we have not published any advert concerning all the processes, we are hoping to do so soon.

“Precisely before the commencement of the sales of the forms just as we will paste the list of all the accredited CBT centres at all our state offices nationwide.
