We want ASUU strike to continue - UNIJOS lecturers

Lecturers at the University of Jos have voted for continuation of the on-going strike by the Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) in the country.

Chairman of the chapter, Dr. David Jankam who made this known on Monday while speaking with THE NATION shortly after the congress of the chapter said members did not see any substance in the dialogue with the federal government to warrant calling off the strike.


According to Dr Jankam, “We have just rounded off our meeting, as a matter of fact our members voted overwhelmingly for the continuation of the state strike.

“I can also confirm to you that five of the eight universities that made up the Bauchi Zone of ASUU has also voted for continuation of the strike, and the general saying is that the federal government has not shown any commitment so far.

“We started the meeting by briefing our members on issues resolved with the federal government in their last meeting with the president of ASUU.

“But in responding to the briefing, our members observed that the main issues that led to the strike were not discussed as part of the meeting in Aso Rock.

“As such my members said president Jonathan is taking them for a ride by trying to divert attention from the core subjects of the strike”

According to Dr. Jankam, “I will now convey the resolve of our branch to our national president in our NEC meeting scheduled for this week. If the majority of the chapter voted for call off, it will ne called off, but if majority of chapters voted for continuation, so be it” said Dr. Jankam.

  2. I think this is becoming political. What are the issues at stake that were not discussed? Why were these issues not raise at the dialogue by ASUU? What we have been hearing is some billions of naira and infrastructures in the universities. These are not supposed to be achieved overnight just as the decay did not happen overnight. I do not see truth in the fact that the real issues were not discussed. I am daily becoming suspicious since the same unijos vowed to continue with the strike even before the outcome of the presidential dialogue was made known. We must not allow ourselves to be used to destroy our youths who are expected to be our future because the pay back will be too expensive to imagine. Much as education is important and must take a reasonable portion of our national income, let us realise that the matter at hand is not the education budget but a section of the federal universities commitment. These universities will require a peaceful environment to operate. Power which is also required has been a torn in everyone's flesh. While we continue to lay claim to and eat the golden egg, let us leave the goose intact.

  3. When other schools resume, your school can remain shut, after all over the years your school has the worst distortion of accademic calender due to the lazy and perpetual drinking attitude of the bulk of your lecturers, Please don't open your school if other call off the strike.

Dr David Jankam,abi wetin u call ur selfish n foolish self,u n ur myopic cohorts over there in UniJos can continue to wallow in ur world of darkness n ignorance,since u guys have no value for education n no compassion on the future leaders of this country.

  15. The fact still remains dat dis wonderful land, is blessed but full of useless leaders in all section, whether political or not, I believe our problem lyes on d fact dat our leaders have lots of money in their buildings dat even their generations to come could spend, so they can't be affected, so they just see us all as funny characters, dat doesn't knw what to do, All we need to solve all dis problems is REVOLUTION.

  19. UJ or whatever you call yours
    elf,you sick in the brain,imagin
    e a drunker speaking as he drinks,you know that is only rubbish he is speaking.If you
    don't want to lecture you can go to market and sell spinach
    or you can drive taxi,allow important people and students
    to resume school. You must not lecture before the country
    move forward. I think APC gave money to this so called uj
    lecturers that is why they spoke rubbish after thier congr
    ess. What you are simply saying by induction is that THE
    ASUU HEADS & FG ARE IDOITS,they spent 14hours in the meeting without doing anything reasonable. Nonsense people God go punish you all......

  20. The MOU which you lazy lecturers are asking will never be sign by the government.I don't get you people,if you lecturers want to be controlling university contracts and the doctors ask for the same,the lawyers also,what would the country turn.When you're suppose to teaching the students you want to be executing contracts,you people want to cause problem because other unions like NASU,NATT,and SSANU will feel intimidated,no wonder other unions said ASUU is selfish.........Is that your job? bunch of lazy motherfuckers,don't call off your own strike

  27. These are Nigerian undergraduates commenting, with so much grammatical errors revealing they are on their way to becoming half baked graduates. Can't seem to make much sense out of what a whole lot of them are trying to say.

  30. Jos isn't Hausaland and as a matter of fact more Jossites are Christians. So their opinion has nothing 2do with ethno-religious affiliation.
    Pls get to know Northern 9ja more n stop callin all of us Hausa!
