National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Prof. Ukachukwu Awuzie, yesterday reacted to the reported 40 per cent increase in salary, offered by the federal government, saying the union was yet to receive a formal notice to that effect.
When told that the leader of the ASUU/FG Re-negotiation Committee, Mr. Gamaliel Onosode, had announced on Friday that the federal government was prepared to offer a 40 percent wage increase as against the 109 percent being demanded by the lecturers, Awuzie said in a telephone chat that, "Onosode is not supposed to announce anything. He is not the Minister of Education, Labour or Finance. He is just the leader of the negotiating team. I don't understand what the 40 percent is about."

He added that: "It is not right to say ASUU demanded for 109 percent because ASUU did not demand any percentage. The negotiating team headed by Onosode agreed on a number of issues including how to ensure a conducive teaching and learning environment, im-prove infrastructure, reverse brain drain as well as wages." Onosode, while announcing the 40 percent offer had added that individual universities would henceforth negotiate what it can pay its staff in the spirit of university autonomy and academic freedom. |

on my own point of view i think the FG and ASUU should try to resolve their disagreement or misunderstanding between themselves.well both the ASUU and FG they have children and i dont think they school in Nigerian that is why they are treating us bad.the 4 demands ASUU required from the FG,FG have settled 3 out of 4. SO PLEASE ASUU we are pleading to you to call of the indefinite strike we are tired of sitting down at home. GOD BLESS.
Well, if you observe things very closely, you will see that the federal govt is evem confused about the whole thing,because they have no plan for this country,they only think about their pokect.ASUU PLEASE,since the federal govt have no shame and refused to act as the big brother,you now take the responsibity by ascepting the 40% and call off the strike, for the sake of us,poor nigerians the leaders of tomorrow.GOD will bless ASUU,as they take my advice.

ASUU, you know we are the leaders of tomorrow? Please the strike should be called off, because we"re tired of sitting at home doing nothing. God will bless ASUU as you reason with us(the poor). As for FG, nemesis awaits them because their DULL children are abroad studying; while the brilliant ones are at home wasting. ASUU, please come to our aid!!!!!!
When Two elephant are fighting, the grass and shrubs suffer it. Our big brothers hv no child in Nigerian Govt. universities...its either they are abroad or in private universities...Every deed has its inevitable gain and inescapable pain. There is a reward 4 anything we do........Greatest Nigeris Students! Make una no worry God will speak 4 us.

It has come to the time everybody is affected by the strike so ASUU should consider the student wellfair....................paul
I really think its high time ASUU and FG negotiate and try their possible best to call of the strike.Its really bad enough to know that students are just sitting at home doin nothin.ASUU should consider the students here cos they are the ones who are really affected by this strike.there's this saying that AN IDLE MAN IS THE DEVIL'S WORKSHOP.please ASUU for the sake of students try and resolve this so that we can go back 2 school again.
I WONDER WHY ASUU ARE DOING THIS, I BELIEVE, ITS ALL BECAUSE OF THE BETTER DAY OF ALL STUDENT, BUT NO.... ITS SEEMS THAT WE STUDENT IS BEING AFFECTED BY THIS FIGHT OF ASUU AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, EVERY BODY AS BEING BLAMING ASUU AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT ITS ALL BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A CHILD STUDYING IN NIGERIA......BUT NOW YOU CAN SHOW TO THE WOLD THAT ITS NOT TRUE, THAT YOU ALSO HAVE FEELING FOR THE POOR NIGERIAN STUDENT BY CALLING OFF THE STRIKE, AND I BELIEVE THAT GOD IN HIS INFINITY MERCY WILL REWARD YOU IN A BETTER WAY BY DOING THAT......GOD BLESS ASUU.....GOD BLESS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT..AND GOD BLESS NIGERIANS.
Great nigeria student.it is high time we know that we have a poor government.how can we be paying 180,000 for school if this is not solve now it will rise again dont let us to be selfish with ourselves let us join asuu and fight for our right. I know asuu is going 2 call it off.
pls asuu, if FG doesn't want to agree with ur decission, pls do consider the plight of new student....everyone is stranded @home
asuu & FG please consider the plight of we the students and call off the ongoing strike. we are at the receiving end. please do something because time is not our friend. you can imagine those of us with 2007/2008 matriculation number still in our 200L 1st semester, it is quite Disheartening.
Its just a shame on asuu and the federal government to still be on this useless indefinite strike,well as for me,i think the fg should consider the asuu and meet up with the demand.Its quite obvious that the president of this country was just a novice in the possition in which he was mounted.Mr president,be wise for once.I hereby urge the Nigerian student to continue to peruse on there studies because the useless government so to speak will totally exterminate our dreams.useless education minister.(please asuu)Damilola FUTO.08056485905
Asuu we the student of Nigeria who is been affected by these decisions are geeting cold feet! help us and resolve these issues once and for all,for the future of Nigerians depend on this!
