The Academic Staff Union of Universities says it ordered its members, who are lecturers across universities, to embark on strike during the coronavirus pandemic because there would never be a time app

roved for such an action.

Ogunyemi, who was represented on the occasion by the coordinator of ASUU, UI zone, Prof. Ade Adejumo, said, “We cannot confront the challenge by bemoaning our fate. What is expected is that we join forces to do what China and other well-organised societies have done to flatten the curve. Ogunyemi said the coronavirus crisis had exposed the country’s “naked and empty teaching hospitals” which justified its industrial action to demand revitalisation funds for public universities.

“See, for instance, how naked and empty our teaching hospitals turned out to be when threatened by the early wave of COVID-19. Yet, these are laboratories established to produce medical and paramedical personnel for our country.”The Chairman, ASUU, UI, Prof. Ayo Akinwole, said despite being owed two months’ salary, the union would not abandon its people.

Why,?

ASUU IS A NEVER ENDING STORY MADE UP OF GREEDY LECTURERS WHO ON ONE SIDE LINE THEIR POCKETS FROM STUDENTS AND STILL WANT A POUND OF FLESH FROM GOVERNMENT - BOTOMLESS PITS THAT NEVER GETS FILLED.

At this time, call for rethink and places high demands on intellectuals to assemble and bears their minds on the issues at stakes.

This strike is like pouring water on a plant when it’s raining... stupid people

What changes does it make?

ASUU has shown a high level of lack of mental capacity and balance in it decision to go on strike amidst this pandemic. So sad COVID19

Strike seems to be the only language that the Nigerian government understands. Not to worry, after the Covid-19 holidays, ASUU strike holidays will awaken everyone to the need to fix the educational sector!

As much as this seems inconsiderate, there are A lot of issues that can be avoided. I knew assu strike as a toddler. I now have a child I am still hearing of the ASSU strike. What a shame to our country.

Like we care?🙄🙄

ASUU are on ISOLATION not STRIKE don't be fooled

This strike just shows that ASUU has no real concern about intellect but rather is an avenue to chop Nigeria's money without being in d limelight

Who’s granting interviews to this ones?

Yeye dey smell... Keep it up

Now is the time ASUUNGR is suppose to step up on research for COVIDVACCINE but here they are blaming the government for underfunding. The funds already release what do they have to show for it's utilization. You can be asking for more without explaining how you used previous 1

Strike during this issue of coro. Oga oo anyway is either you strike or not. Coro has already strike the whole nation at home. So continue your embarked with coro stay at home

I have said this before, even if ASUU is not on strike, she has nothing to offer Nigerians at this time....all they know is their personal feelings....how many times do we hear of any research innovation from them.

Lool ASUU missed this one. The joke is on ASUU

Who cares......?

You're not smart sir🙄😏

You guys should be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves. There's a lockdown and all govt institutions have been shut down, tell me who's going to feel the effect of your strike. You guys supposed to be in laboratories and help find solutions to Covid 19 instead of going on strike.

Going on strike during lockdown is meaningless because schools were already shut down. Zero impact. You just want to act like you're really pushing the government to get applauded! Fake strike!

The stupidity of the education system in Nigeria lies right in the palm of these dimwits, how would you guys take advantage to impose your strike right in the middle of a pandemic!

Is there anyone out there still interested in this man’s story? Let us survive covid-19 virus pandemic

We don't care 🙃

This is a wrong time to embark on industrial action, they should have placed national interest about personal interest.... Selfish individual....

Continue embarrassing yourselves. when this is all over we will know for sure you are not relevant in global body of knowledge.. your mates all over the world are cracking heads trying to find solutions to the mess we are in, but look at you😭.. sad

The best thing punch can do for me as I person Is to get me the personal phone num of this man He need anonymous curse.... There are student talking bout how lectures demand f sex for grades from them he won't talk When him tenure dey expire Abeg?

That is not an excuse sir. Show some sense of human

And its so painful that many people here do not bother to read the full article to get the real message. Headline been confusing your head

Not only the politics players are mad, you ASUU members are on top of chart. When all your colleagues are on field labouring harder to give better life for the citizens they are render service for. Am not surprised Nigerian have no value for human life!

You don't have any reason whatsoever. Your action is a good example of insensitivity.

Embarking on strike when you should be in collaboration with researchers?

May diz corona virus 🦠 finish all ur entire family ASUU MEMBERS

May God punish all ur family sheguna

Wetin concern us....if una like make una no call off d strike.....

Una never start,i just pity u.

I don't think ASUU understands the word IRRELEVANT because thats what they are rn

They're just like VIVO CINEMAS 😂 For now, We've totally forgotten them 😂

As if we care!!!

You are talking the rubbish You are talking in the nonsense . Mtsw.

Eskis sir, e e ni point.

After reading this article I can conclusively say there's no reasonable reason for Asuu going on strike

Can't government proscribe ASUU, such a useless Union.

I don't know why this selfish association led by this horrific baboon should be allowed to hold our university education hostage for so long. These university lecturers are paid from the govt purse why will Asuu decide on how they want to collect salaries?

Asuu shuld geddifok selfish ppl

You got no reason. Just YOURSELF as always.

Hmm

The guy is is an asshole! They have no milk of kindness in them.

No other reason other than the fact that you don't have common sense . who even notice your strike

ASUU sha wants to trend 😅😅

If we give all the donations the country received to ASUU, my inner spirit tells me they will still go on strike the next year. 😊

I completely forgot about ASUU, we are battling for human survival 😔

ASUUNGR now u see that even the acclaimed prof are not in the lab......wat re the Nigeria prof in various field or biochem..... microbiology..... The so called medical lab scientist....that claim to own the lab doing at this time

Hisssss

who else forgot ASUU even exists😂

Eyin te gbon pa

Who u epp?

🤣 they are angry COVID-19 took the shine away from them.

Its actually the federal govt that is to blame

Take a deep breath and actually click on the link above ... asuu members are being owed 2months salary like imagine not having money this corona crisis period before bashin them understand what their families are going through now not having money to stock things cus of d lockdwn

The most wicked Union in Nigeria

Hope there will be no work no pay

Tell ASUU to also donate to the fight against Corona, the Bible says it is more blessed to give than to receive, this is why ASUU has not been making progress they should sow in this season of Corona n see their financial life change

I have been expecting ASUU ASUUNGR to donate money for the eight against COVID19 , even JAMBHQ that snake swallow their money has donated ...🤗🤗

I am meant to graduate this year, but it seems my ID Card will graduate before me 😩

I hope everyone still has this same energy after the pandemic

Look at these crazy niggas

Since ASUU has decided to be so interested in drama Nollywood should please creat a space for them to function adequately. They should go and be producing soap opera.

Nobody remember u sir

Oga ASUU have you finished talking?

This man's brain also need glasses not only his eyes. Mad people. I dont know what people like this are teaching their students. We will get over this without your union.

A man who is a lecturer at a State University is the chairman of ASUU and he's the one championing the course of his colleagues against an FG Initiative of IPPIS, pls what concerns Bobrisky with condom?

Werey people

Who cares!

Foolish people. Na them still dey collect bribe to cancel the strike

ASSUNGR are the most selfish group of people in the country..

This is embarrassing. Did I just see strike inside Covid19. Do they really have the fear of God let alone loving the country

What do you people want?

You people like attention too much🤦‍♀️

Nothing to say asuu disgrace

3D punishment loading.... Definitely none of his own studies here in Nigeria

Pointless.

That's your problem

Those people are comedians

Nothing can make sense of it....

Ordinary asteroid explosion in Akure, researchers no dey.

I will maintain that this union should be proscribed. It bears no relevance to our present or future educational aspirations since it's only tool for resolving grievances is to embark on endless industrial action.

Irrelevant Greedy Old Fools

How am I just finding out today

Lol Are you guys on strike?

Prof Let me tell you affectionately but frankly: Your position is ridiculous. You should be churning out papers on with tips how to survive this pandemic. Yes, even without pay and even if it kills you. Ore let's be serious!

I don't think this man and his circle have children studying in Nigeria. I heard great leaders asking this question 'if our children grow up what do we have on ground to show them?' all ASUUNGR is showing us is their degree of absurdity and incompetence in leadership

We don't want to know. U sha av emabark finish.

Una dey worry oooo

Are u guys on strike? .... Mweetch looking for relevancy😂 u guys don't have any thing to offer in dis period. So stay at home. Oh i get it. Hunger dey flog Una...IPPIS is d solution

You choose a time as this to push your own interests? Selfishness and ignorance

Unreasonable people.

Register on IPPIS and leave the trash,werey gbogbo... 😂😀🤣😄😆😅😂😄

stupid

Shamelessly idiotic action! Just shows the level of uselessness of our lecturers. In other places, the academia is rubbing minds together to find cure for the coronavirus. The strike action is just to cover the fact that you guys don't have the intellectual capacity to help us

After covid 19 we will no if actually you guys are on strike

This guy's tenure as ASUU President will be remembered as a period of decline in Intellectual application of knowledge for common good. All he talks about is money. Members are missing ..Pim. Members are caught in sex scandals..Pim.. Mention Salary and ....

When other researchers are in labs looking for solution to covid-19... I see no perfect definition for selfishness than this.

Is your second name not strike?

Baba you no get point jare,

You are on COVID 19 holiday not strike.

No words. Pure selfishness

You won't be noticed Your strike action is as useless as P in psychology
