ASUU President Explains Why Strike Will Continue
The National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Dr. Nasir Issa-Fagee, has said that universities
in the country will continue with the on-going industrial action despite its effect on the students and their parents as well as on the academic calendar. According to him, the Nigerian Universities will not continue to churn out unemployable graduates because of lack of training facilities in the institutions. He acknowledged that the strike affect both parents and students, but noted that there was the need for sacrifice by all the
stakeholders in order to ensure that Nigeria graduates compete with their peers in other parts of the world. The ASUU boss observed that the agreement which the union entered into with the federal government in 2009 was due for review in June 20th, 2012, regretting that many years after the agreement, it had not
been substantially implemented.
“The academic calendar had already been affected. For the fact that students were graduating, they do not even perform well
when they get into the labour market. “I don’t really know what is our priority. Is it that we just continue churning out graduates with certificates who may not
perform because they have not been trained adequately as a result of lack of training facilities, research, laboratories, workshops and adequately equipped libraries?
“This is an agreement that was signed in 2009 and it should have been reviewed in
20th June, last year. I hope we are now in
July, 2013, which is one year after, yet we have not substantially implemented that agreement let alone, commencing the process of review. “So I think that is the key issue. If government is serious, it would have substantially implemented the agreement
before June 20 and then commence the process of review of that agreement”, he stated.

OJB Responds To Juliet Ibrahim's Query On Raising $100k For Kidney Transplant
Last week, Ghanaian actress Juliet Ibrahim posted a message on her instagram page saying kidney transplant does not cost more than $50k and wondered why people raising funds for OJB were requesting for $100, 000. Well, OJB has responded to that. The ailing music producer and singer told
Encomium magazine.
"The mistake she's making is that it
depends on the hospital you are going to in India. She says she runs a foundation, they might give her a rebate. The procedure itself is $55, 000. When you take out $55, 000, you are left with $45,000. What about the running cost of the
procedure? You don't go to India only to come back and start asking for help again. At least, I need some money to maintain myself for the next one year. So when you
factor in all these costs, add air tickets and lodging, you will appreciate what we are talking about.

dragged till the early hours of Monday. According to reports, 51 of the 53 branches of ASUU
unanimously agreed to embark on the strike. The strike with the government, The Nation learned, followed the federal government‘s failure to honour the Academic Earned Allowance (AEA) which formed a component of the 2009 Agreement government signed with the union. Declaring the strike, ASUU chairman University of
Lagos (UNILAG) chapter, Dr. Karo Ogbinaka, who addressed reporters at the university premises
described the strike as a “painful yet inevitable decision.” He added that ASUU is tired of government’s dilly dallying, and cannot allowed

Throwing more light on the AEA, Ogbinaka said it includes allowances paid as part of excess work load responsibility allowance, and allowance for supervision of Post Graduate Programmes for
lecturers, head of department (HoDs), Deans and exam officers, among others.
He added that the highest AEA is not more than N12, 500 per month, wondering why it has remained difficult for government to live up to its promises.
