Frustrated by over four months of strike that has kept their future in the balance leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS zone ‘B’ has given the members of the Academic Staff Union ofUniversities (ASUU) seven days to call off and return to the class room.
The Union warned that at the expiration of the seven days ultimatum they would be left with no other option than to confront the striking lecturers.
Speaking with journalists in Umuahia, the NANS zone B financial secretary and the leader in Abia state, Comrade Eluwah Miracle, said that the students are determined to take their destinies in their own hands by invoking the last “C” in NANS system of settling issues which is confrontation
Eluwah accused the members of ASUU of being selfish in their demands from the federal government and politically motivated adding that student would no longer watch ASUU destroy education in the country and jeopardize the future of millions Nigerian youths.
He said, “NANS Abia state chapter has condemned in strong terms the on-going nation-wide strike embarked upon by ASUU, which timing is not only wrong, but also detrimental to the security and of the country.
Eluwah said that ASUU is claiming that their demands are genuine, “But their approach and timing is very wrong, because the world is nows eeing it as being politically motivated and if they say it is not, they should go back to the classroom, while negotiation continues with the federal government”.
He maintained that the federal government has done well by offering ASUU the sum of N600 billion in addition to the N100 billion already made available this year for the funding of the universities, “which ASUU has rejected under the fragile nature of the country’s economy”.
On the issue that the funds from federal government has not been released, Eluwah said, “ASUU is claiming that the funds have not been released, why should the money be released when they have not accepted the offer by the federal government and until they accept the money cannot be released simple”.
He said that there are three Cs in the student Aluta struggle which include Consultation, Consideration and finally Confrontation, adding that they have made use of the first two Cs and will not hesitate to use the last one which is confrontation.
An adage in Yoruba says; A Mother hen is protecting the chicks from hazard; Hence the chicks is complaining of not been allowed to play with rubble. This set of “leaders of tommorrow.” has been paid to revolt against their mentor n progenitors. Is there any hope for a better tommorrow?
ASUU has mixed greed with politics in their demands.
Bravo NANS I’m solidly behing you guys,ASUU leaders have been bribed,its a pity their ordinary members are not aware,the executives are living large.
the best thing to do is that NANS should visits all private schools and disturb their lectures. all lecturers sons and daughters are in private universities.
Always givin ultimatum nd ntn to show! Am tayad of d strike fa
NANS is sick!
that’s nonsense talk by nans…i no blame dem na arts and social,management science nans that dnt understand what it means to study science esp engineering in nija…poor quality education is what we need…simple…make una go confront na prison una go land…dnt bite the hand dat feeds you
Anoda adage says when two eliphant fight d grass suffers, this strike has been on for 4 months 700billion is still nt enogh 4 dem to call off d strike…dis is d ryt way to go
Am beggin both side the asuu nd the federal government to calls us back to school. We are all tired of stayin at home, we need compromise pls.
We’ve heard exactly this same thing some months ago. I just hope NANS mean it this time.. WASTED SEMESTER (4 Gud months) chai
NANS ZONE B (ABIA ZONE) wants to either take the credit of ending the strike within the week as announced yesterday or provoke ASUU so that it will change its decision to call off. NOTE that that is NANS ZONE B excluding the other Zones. It is the peak of degeneration for students (just as the sponsored market women did) to side a corrupt govt instead of their oppressed teachers who are fighting for the bright future of the nation. I advice the lecturers in that zone to pls ignore their students’ misbehavior and teach sincerely when ASUU VOLUNTARILY calls off the strike soon as announced yesterday.
NANS ar d must corrupt union in dis country, after reciving bribe frm fg der ar coming 2 blac mail Asuu who ar fight 4 our future. It is not hw fast u finish b hw wel u finish, so as corrupt as NANS is der can not feel abt our welfare as we do suffer in hotels, poor lib, outdated lab n so on, if d leaders of NANS n d market women no what der ar after dey shoud beta meet fg 2 respect her self and honor d agreement it freely entered wit Asuu, what negotions ar fg n NANS talking abt When der is an agreement on ground? I tink if NANS ar bac frm der sleep der shud use der last C against fg 2 implement asuu agreement, NANS n market women for hw long ar we going 2 continue suffering in our sch’s as a result of poor infrastures? Or continue sending our children outside d country 4 qulity edu? Ar u guyz not worried dat non of d nig uni is among d bst 1000 uni’s in d world? My finally word is NANs hav notin 2 mak asuu call of her strike, n 2 asuu der shud fight dis fight such dat der wil not come bac 2 it again. I was left wit just a month 2 graduate b4 dis strike but am not complainin, let d rit tin b done plz. My fellow students let us b patient wit asuu 4 fix our edu sector 4 us since fg wants its by force.
What a shame……….NANS is make sure a Statement against ASUU without a word or comment for FG.
There is no Unionism again in Students live. All we have remain are Political stooge parading themselves as Students Union Leaders.The Slogan of “Aluta Continual! Victoria Aceita” has be change to
“All loot Continue ! Victory for Rubbish”.
I weep for generation yet unborn with the manner our generation parade themselves because of a piece of spoilt meat from the politicians dinner table.
It is truth that “the Beautiful ones are not yet born” not because “the ugly ones refuse to die” but because the society we now live fail to learn from the first communication between two ugly couples who are not only blinded by love Mentally and emotionally but Physically. Mr. Greed and Miss Corruption
@mcsabisabi
Eluwah, do U think confrontatn has any possible soln to this menance. Evn if it has, after coercing dis lecturers to stop this fight for improvement/devp of our uni. n d return back to class. I promise U dat d state of the latter shall be worse dan the former. Pls do v a rethink before taking Ur actions while we student wud continue praying until things get beta.
NANS!!! I believe strongly this union has taken money for one party and are trying con innocent fratrasted into what they know nothing about, any confrontation should should be carried by the leaders not students generally cos corruption is everywhere and NANS is at the front of it…. Asuu consider the future of the students and let go back to class in God’s name……
NANS we students are in full support of any action you will take from saving the country’s futures leader. Let the battle line be drawn NOW.
how is it possible for NANs to kip comin up on air to make noise if not dat d politicians r der sponsors? since I grew up to knw uniben the school has bin like dis…nutin new …its like dat in unijos,ekpoma,AAUA is anoda skol where syudents don’t even av. hostels…serzly I don’t pray for d strike to continue but FG shud do wats rit….
NANS I blv u are all insane, animals, dont go and fight d govt remain their & b mesmerising ur selves, wth dat useless 7 days , if u fail to react u wll all experience hardship through out ur life time.
Wot ar u guys talkin abt? i dnt jst wana be provoked cos if i do,it wl be vry disastrous. ASUU ar really makin mistakes and its too bad. dats greed honestly. what stops them from collectin dat money? To NANS,dnt do wot u wl later regret cos a child dat says his mother wl nt sleep wl nvr slp. verbum statis sapienti. i rest ma case
7 days what..dats rubbish from some little kids just making noise, afterall when we were in school ASUU always went on strike and we never interfered…I wonder where these set of student are getting there bravado from…they think they can armtwist ASUU into surrendering…I guess not…they can only plead, thats the best they can do! Are they threatening ASUU? No lets understand the last C…..
Lolz, asuu is going to always find another reason to strike, they dnt come to class yet the want increase in allowances, the seek bribe, they molest students. I hv seen that nigerians r nigeria’s own worst
enemy
Shot up ur dirty mouth !! Useless, mumuu. NANS is not representing Nigerian students.they are just political prostitutes,So u even have the gut of giving 7 Days ultiatum? Funny indeed.
Wel frm my one perspective,i wuld rada say the issue of #600 bay is nt the pt bt the so FG r the lunatics dismantln,shatern ,au drms cos the asuu r nt fools in tkn such risk for us.com to tink of it the only reasn y w culg revolt is basd on d moni if nt implemntd at various vasrities.so pls save ur grudges & kip sharpn ur swords cos s nw ours swords r irrelevnt cos w fight d lectura nw den 4mnth of precious tmy wastd FG WINS nw the regime of GEJ IS NT BT FOOLISHNES so pls let us stil b reservd pls… ,..
Assu are just being greedy, and those of you saying they r fighting for the future of the educational system don’t know sh*t, we r in Nigeria the money they are demanding for would only be used for their selfish reasons, they don’t care about students incase you don’t know, how many times do they even come to class to teach, if I were FG I would disslove assu, selfish n greedy sets of humans
Please if ASUU doesn’t want to call off the strike, let them rationalize and give me my own share of the 700Billion Naira.. I go carry am go Togo go start my education afresh, at least before them go call off the strike I go don graduate.
You are a fool. I think your school has the best facilities
Seriously u guyz are jst making me laff here with all ur comments..
