ASUU Has Been Unfair To The Nigerian Students- Obasi

The Striking Members Of The Academic Staff Union Of Universities, ASUU has been unfair in their treatment of the Nigerian Students, according to Obasi. D. C. Chinedu of VNTI.

Following reports we have gathered of over the past weeks which the strike has been on, we can see that, either the Union(ASUU) has been selfish on their demands, or they are not telling us the truth.

It is important to let them know that, They do not make demands and expect the Nigerian Students to follow them, or support their demands blindly, without knowing what these demands are.

Also, when it comes to Negotiations, You don’t just make a demand, and stand on it, else, its no longer a negotiation, but a command.

If what the Federal Government Says, is anything to go by, we gathered that, ASUU initially led the Public to believe that their demands were sincerely about Improving the Standard of education in our Universities, but the Federal government has rubbished that, and exposing the real fact to the Nigerian Public, saying,
“They initially told us that it was about infrastructure, but it is about allowances. N30b has been released for the payment of their accumulated allowances, and N100b earmarked for infrastructural development. It is important for the public to know that government did not say this is all that it will give, but government says go and start the payment with this amount and let us know the amount it will add”.

What Sort of infrastructural development are the Union Looking for, that N100b is not enough, FOR A START??

With what’s said above, Its either the Striking ASUU members are being unfair with their treatment of the Nigerian Students, or their is something they are not telling us, about their, “Pulling out of the Negotiation Table.”
Is This how they expect to resolve the crisis???

Its obvious that they are no longer interested in the jobs, or need a break from work and its time the FG Implement the, “No work, No Wage” Rule.

Its more disappointing that the National Association Of Nigerian Students, NANS cannot live up to their expectation like their predecessors did in similar situations in the Past, by making the two parties come to an agreement.

Whatever the Situation may be, its time the ASUU members come to terms with what’s on ground, or stir the ire of the Nigerian Youths.
