PDP's bannerman, Atiku Abubakar has expressed his opinion on how to reform university education in Nigeria if he becomes president.

While reeling out his reformation agenda, he disclosed that his administration if elected will hand over all the federal universities to the state government.

He said: “I said the children you send to America, to England, who own those universities? Mostly the private sector. So, why is it that you think we cannot do it here? We don’t have the money.”

The direct implication of no work no pay policy in the present circumstance is that 2021/2022 session stands cancelled or at least a semester and whenever the University resumes, they are resuming on a clean slate of the 2022/23 session or the second semester of the last session afresh for the following reasons:

Spilled-over students whose results are yet to get approval from Senate would not be attended to because these are academic works in arrears of (the 2021/2022 session) that government does not want to pay for.

Final year students who have written exams or are yet to write will remain on campus because their scripts will not be marked and the outstanding semester exams will not be conducted. These are academic works in arrears (2021/2022) that government does not want to pay for.

For other levels (1 to 3 or to 5 & 6 as the case may be), each student should be ready for an extra one year. If exams have been conducted for the second semester, then those students have one semester more. But if the results of the first semester have not been released, then one extra year. This is because no academic work in arrears would be attended to because the government does not want to pay for the conclusion of that academic year.

The rules of engagement of University lecturers baring some exceptional variation based on tripartite legs of; Teaching 15 – 40%, Research 40%, and Community services 20%.
So when lecturers go on strikes, it’s mainly the teaching/conduct or grading of examinations aspect that is affected, in fact, we have some academics that do not teach at all or do not have course/students to teach in some semesters.

The Minister does not seems to understand the operations of the University’s academic calendar system, rules of engagement of academics globally as well as the ILO’s concept of social justice as it affects Industrial dispute resolution.

We didn't reach agreement with FG, strike continue till demands are met-ASUU

The Academic Staff Union of Universities and the Joint Action Committee of the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions and Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities have said the Federal Government did not reach a strong agreement with them that can lead to calling off the industrial actions.

All the university unions in the country are presently on strike.

ASUU started its strike on February 14, 2022 and JAC commenced its own on April 14, 2022.

The unions embarked on industrial actions while demanding improved welfare packages, better working conditions and implementation of various labour agreements signed with the Federal Government between 2009 and 2020.

The national leaders of ASUU and JAC of SSANU and NASU, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke and Mr Mohammed Ibrahim, respectively told our correspondent that the Federal Government and all stakeholders in the education sector and religious leaders had a meeting with the four unions but no strong agreements were reached.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, was quoted in a report at the weekend as saying, “We had a cordial and fruitful discussion; we looked at the issues dispassionately and reached some agreements, to the satisfaction of everybody in attendance.”

But Osodeke said Ngige’s claim after the meeting that the unions would call off the ongoing strike this week was a political statement.

Strike: University Governing Councils Can’t Negotiate With Union – ASUU

Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said the Governing Councils of state and federal universities lack the capacity to negotiate funding and condition of service of public universities with the union.

Professor Ayo Akinwole, chairman of the UI chapter stated this while responding to the assertion made by the pro-chancellor of Osun State University Yusuf Alli (SAN) that it was wrong for the federal government of Nigeria to negotiate with ASUU and force it on those not part of the negotiations.

Akinwole said the statement of the Pro – chancellor and chairman of council, Osun State University, Mallam Yusuf Alli, “is a regurgitation of non -practicable views of some detractors of public universities in Nigeria.”

According to him, the statement of the Chairman of Governing Council of UNIOSUN “are words that do not take the social and economic issues of the Nigerian state into realistic consideration.
