It’s terribly sad that successive Nigerian governments, over the years, have allowed ASUU to hold in captivity, the destiny of young Nigerians.
The reason being that, when they have raped the nation, they are paid a lump sum in arrears of salaries and wages, for no job done.
There is no nation where bad and negative behaviours are rewarded positively. This is why the Federal Government MUST stand on it’s “No work, No Pay” rule.
As painful as the current strike is, this stand of the Federal Government, will put a PERMANENT end to the incesstant greedy and selfish strikes that favours only the ASUU Executives.
The ASUU executives, have union dues to live on for as long as the strikes last. The Lecturers who pay the dues, are left with no salaries for months on end.
The Lecturers can help by demanding to know how their dues have been spent and that it’s not funding the extravagant lifestyles of those they entrusted the funds to.

This ASUU rascality will be the last prolonged strike by ASUU in Nigeria. We are getting there. As we say in England, “It gets worse before it gets better.”
Please stand by your government to win this final battle for Nigerian students and Nigeria.
