Senate appeals to ASUU to call off strike

               Nigerian Senate

ASUU refuses to call off strike despite Senate's carrot. 

Nigerian govt begs ASUU to suspend strike

From left: Former President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Prof. Nasir Isa; President of ASUU, Biodun Ogunyemi; and the Vice President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, at a news conference on the state of the nation in Abuja on Monday (14/8/17). 04255/14/8/2017/Albert otu/JAU/NAN

The federal government has appealed to the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, to suspend its ongoing strike in the universities in the interest of the nation. Chris Ngige, Minister of Labour and Employment, made the appeal in a statement signed by Samuel Olowookere, Deputy Director, Press, in the Ministry, on Tuesday in Abuja. ASUU had on Monday declared an indefinite strike over Federal Government failure to keep to the 2009 agreement. According to Mr. Ngige, there is an on going renegotiation of the 2009 agreement between the Federal Government and ASUU by the Babalakin Committee. “The federal government has set up the Babalakin Committee on 13th Feb. 2017, which is already addressing the issues raised by ASUU. “Though the federal government did not wish to apportion blame, it is important to note that ASUU did not follow due process in the declaration of the industrial action. “As it did not give the federal government the mandatory 15 days’ notice as contained in the Section 41 of Trade Disputes Act, Cap T8,2004.“In fact, it was on 14th August, 2017 that the Office of the Minister received a letter dated 13th August 2017 from ASUU, that is, one full day after it commenced the strike,” he said. He, however, noted that the letter was to inform the federal government that ASUU has commenced strike, adding that this is not a declaration of intention to go on strike as contained in the Trade Dispute Act, 2004. He further said that since the case was being conciliated, it was against the spirit of Social Dialogue and Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) for ASUU to embark on strike as enunciated in the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Convention. “The federal government therefore wishes to appeal to ASUU to consider students who are currently writing degree and promotion examinations. Please call off the strike and return to the negotiation table .’’ The minister added that the Ministry of Labour and Employment would ensure that a time frame is tied to negotiation this time around. Mr. Ngige added that the Babalakin Committee was ever ready to continue the negotiation. He also noted that the necessary ingredients for fruitful social dialogue as well as adequate powers to negotiate and make recommendations to the federal government had been put in place.

No old politician will leave stage for you -Obasanjo tells Nigerian youth

- Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has declared that no old politician in Nigeria is ready to leave stage for the youth
- Obasanjo, however, advised the youth to come outand contest elective positions during the next elections
- He also revealed the type of leader who will take the country to the promised land

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has declared that unless Nigerian youths come out to contest elective positions, old generation politicians would not quit the stage for them. It was reported that the former president spoke on Saturday August 12, in Abeokuta, Ogun state, at the Youth Governance Dialogue organised to mark International Youth Day 2017. 

Obasanjo, however, was quick to add that the youth who would occupy leadership positions in the country must have carved a niche for themselves through hard work. Obasanjo, who warned that leadership is not just for the asking, said youths have to work for it. The former president who noted that moral values have been eroded in the society when compared to what obtained in the’50s and the ’60s, said those moral values were required for leadership position. He said Nigeria was in need of leaders who are academically and spiritually sound, urging the youths to get prepared to occupy elective offices, as there were moves to lower the age requirements for election into elective positions such as that of the president, governor, and National Assembly. He appealed to them to stop complaining and moaning. Obasanjo said:“I joined politics from the top. The only position I contested for in Nigeria is the Presidency, but I had a track record of achievements, which led to that. “Nobody will choose you; you have to choose yourself. Why should you have to become president at the age of 40? Why can’t you become president at the age of 35? Why can’t you become president at the age of 30?“General Gowon became Head of State at 33. I became Head of State at 39. And it is because of my track record, and thanks to (late Gen. Sani Abacha) for putting me in jail. “Those were the reasons why I have opportunity to come back as elected president of Nigeria. “The point is this: how prepared are you? Are you really prepared?”The former President also spoke about unity and integration, urging Nigerians to see themselves as one family instead of pursuing things that could divide the country. He also called on Nigerian youths to be united, and to also contribute to the development of their fatherland. The former Attoney-General of the Federation, Kanu Agabi (SAN), who spoke on the roles of youth in peace and stability of a nation, urged Nigerian youths not to allow artificial boundaries to split them.

Rather, he counselled, they should work more on things that would unite them as a people He said:“If Obasanjo can make it, you can also make it. He joined the army and survived. When he was sent to prison, he survived. He was sentenced to death but here he is.” The chairman of the occasion, Chief Bayo Ojo (SAN), urged Nigerian youths to eschew violence, and “to remain resolute and committed to Nigeria’s development.”

Meanwhile, it was previously reported that Obasanjo explained why Nigeria has not known anything called military intervention in its democratic journey since 1999.
