ASUU insisted that the Federal Government would have to pay the salary backlog to lecturers, conserving that without the move, unfinished academic sessions should be forgotten.
President of ASUU, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, stated this on Friday
during an interview on Channels Television’s breakfast show, Sunrise Daily following the Federal Government’s insistence on non-payment of the lecturers’ salaries over the industrial action.
He explaining that though public universities have been shut since February this year, the lecturers should be paid since they have to teach to make up for time lost during the closure.
He said, “If we agree on that, therefore, the lectures we should’ve given [to students] for 2020/2021 and 2021/22 [sessions], should be allowed to go so we start a new session, 2022/23, in September.
“Therefore, by July next year, I would go on my leave as we used to have in those days so that the backlog is gone. All the lectures that remain; all the two sets of admissions that JAMB has given that are waiting should become irrelevant.”
“But for ASUU, when we go back today, we’re going to start from the 2020/2021 session. For these two sets of students that have been admitted by JAMB, we’ve to teach them over these periods to ensure that we meet up with the system.
“So, we’re going to do the backlog of the work we’ve left behind. We aren’t going to start today and say ‘This session is 2022/23, therefore, all these two sets of people that have been admitted by JAMB are cancelled. We have to take another admission for the 2023/24 session’.”

Chai! Unfinished academic session should be forgotten? I feel for students, honestly.
ReplyDeleteHistory keeps repeating itself,The way they will rush these students into learning everything at once will be alarming,I pity them in advance.
ReplyDeleteYes,They should be paid for the period of the strike.
And the quality of our graduates keeps dwindling
DeleteIn this case,half bread is better than none.
ReplyDeleteThey should be paid their salary.
ReplyDeleteIs this now an educational system?
ReplyDeleteOh yes, they shld be paid.
ReplyDeleteMy Omo is omoed
ReplyDeleteIf I be buhari, walahi I for don sack all the lecturers and employ new ones. This rubbish is becoming too much.
ReplyDeleteAnd who will sack the sacker for gross incompetence?
DeleteGo to the market and ask the woman you buy meat from to sell you 5kg of the best quality meat for 100naira. Not possible is it. You won’t even get the lowest quality for that price. If you try it they will beat you in that market place. So don’t ask the impossible from ASUU
DeleteAsuu demands are justified. The useless government should meet their demands. Paying Asuu peanuts while embezzling our funds to pay the rogues doing nothing in the executive and the legislature.
ReplyDeleteGovernment should pay Asuu
ReplyDeleteThey should pay Asuu. Enough is enough.
ReplyDeleteSack them for what? You have no empathy.
