The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) said yesterday that it has lost faith in the ability of the Federal Government to resolve the lingering crisis in universities.
ASUU Chairman at the University of Benin Comrade Anthony Monye-Emina said in Benin that the strike must go on to achieve its desired results.
He said the union has lost faith in the Federal Government due to its insincerity over the agreement.
He said one of the reasons why they are insisting that their demands must be met is because the government initially denied the existence of the 2009 agreement which was signed by its officials.
“We can no longer trust government; we have lost faith in its willingness to deliver on the issues that led to the strike in the first place,” he said.

If u ve lost faith in govt,u beta give up instead of hoping 4 a miracle
Why won’t you lost faith in FG when money have exchange hands,ole,you’re only fooling yourselves ASUU.
That’s FG for you. They promise and fail, sign agreements and deny ever signing any, embezzle and claim to be fighting corruption. Don’t worry, by the time NUPENG joins the strike they will honour the agreement because the only language the FG understands is industral strike action.
Dis Asuu pple r too stupid..,.Fightin 4 ur own desire wat abt we dat u kept at home since al dis while.May God punish u al both Asuu nd FG
Ok, here is the breakdown The question is what
does the Vice- chancellors of Universities do
with all the fees paid by students, and rents paid
by staff living in university quarters?. A
breakdown of the fees show that students pay
for maintenance, light, medical, sports, library,
lab/audio visuals etc, lets say in a hostel the
actual students supposed to stay in a room are
4. this number multiplied by hostel charge of
N10,000. equals N40000, an average second
generation university has at least 30,000
students. Multiply this number to the fees paid
by full time students of N25,000 this equals
N7500000000. This money can be used to
maintain infrastructure, provide equipment in
the Universities, but, this isn’t the case.
University management mis- management all the
funds and expect government to provide money.
Vice-chancellors connive with bursars to loot
the system, after their tenure, they aren’t
probed. What happened in south south
university after their riot a few years back. Each
student was asked to pay N10000, from
diploma, long distance, to Ph.D students. The
school has a total population of over 40,000
students. Multiply that amount, it sums up to
N400 million. They spent less than 10 million
fixing the damage caused by students, what
happened to the rest? What happened to the
money? Part time students pay over N60000 a
session. Multiply that by 10000 part time
students it equals N600 million. The least fees a
postgraduate student pays is N150000 a session.
Multiply that by 3000 postgraduate students
admitted, it equals N450 million. Some
universities charge N15000 for P.G forms,
multiply that by 3000 people who may apply it
equals N45million. Now, for post ume exams, a
students pays N2000 for the forms, multiply
that 5000 students who may apply into a
university, it equals N10 million, there’s also the
sale of forms for pre-degree and part time
undergraduate programmes, monies run into
millions of naira each year. The question is what
happens to them? Government established
TETFUND, there is ETF. This establishment raises
billions for tertiary universities. The truth is
until corruption is checked in the system it will
be hard for us to move ahead. Now ASUU wants
3trillion naira? hmm, I laugh.asuu should call
off d strike
