ASUU, at its 19th National Delegates Conference held in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, said Nigerians were yet to experience the much talked-about change Mr. Buhari promised the nation.
The president of ASUU, Nasir Isa, while addressing the conference, said, Mr. Buhari was waging a “half-hearted” fight against corruption, and that the poor was getting poorer, while “a tiny club of nouvea riche, treasury looters, phantom contractors, subsidy scammers and rent collectors are flowing in scandalous opulence and manipulating the legal structures of the state to escape.
“One year after, there has been no positive change in the major indices of growth and development, be it poverty reduction, safety and security, disease control or access to basic amenities and public good,” he said. Mr. Isa said the government appeared to have no direction in its policies, thereby causing Nigerians to be disillusioned with it.
“The disappointment of Nigerians stems from the fact that we have a government whose leadership promised change but which is not practising transformation (deep, fundamental change).
Mr. Isa said ASUU must not relent in working with other progressives to fight for the common good of Nigerians.

Mr Isa, keep talking. I'm sure once the looted fund is traced to your account, you will keep my mouth shut. People have to be balanced and unsentimental in their assessments; if not anything, peace is returning to the much dreaded North East, then devt will follow, agric produce from d Northeast will soon be revised. A capital expansionary budget has just been passed and with its implementation comes good sustainable economic development. I'm sure Mr Isa is not speaking the minds of all ASUU members
ReplyDeleteYou are vindictive like your party,it's leaders as well as all your supporters. What has objective assessment of this administrations performance got to do with tracing looted funds to the lecturers account. This is blackmail in an attempt to gag men's conscience. Wake up, this is the twenty first century and you must tolerate opposition. This is what makes democracy thick.
DeleteYet "Sai BABA" from some foolish fools on this platform.
ReplyDelete@EL matosky You be mumu you no get wrk see fool dey call person foolish.
DeleteDis ppl haas just woken up I personally has really suffered untold hardship and pain 4 dis mess nigeria is my biznesses has collapsed 2 d ground and no succor on sight. Nigeria has been engaged on a reverse gear and @ top speed.
ReplyDeleteWe must all know there was no alternative to this present administration. To my understanding(layman) there has been a lot of shortfall from Nigeria main income(crude oil) and there is no short cut to what is going on now. We earn dollars from crude oil sale and if that happens, we can't get foreign exchange to import many of our comsumable. In a nutshell, our economic have to reset and building it will take sometime if our budget is fully implemented. Nigerians have to bear it with baba and there will light at end of tunnel.
ReplyDeleteThe light at the end of the tunnel could be a train. Just like your change
DeleteSai Baba! No be when man chop food he go get energy shout sai Baba again or see road trek from Lagos to Abuja! Go price beans rice or yam. Na the change be that.Baba will be travelling to London on Tuesday for Una information. There he will be received like kind while his subjects are dying of hunger and hardship.Na true quality of a good leader be that. There is a way you too frequent your friend's house you will lose his respect self. It has got to that stage and The President need to stay back in order to be respected by the people he is always going to.
ReplyDeleteSai BABA.....
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 1 is a dreamer let give nim room to co tinue dreaming.teeja Ray, i see sense in your text but it ia obvious that it won't be implemented to the full becuase minister of budget and planni g had said already that we should not expect full implementtion. The next we will hear fro this government will be that there is no money to impplement anything..... the lecturers, the future trainers are right in their assessment.
ReplyDeleteSomeone help answer this very simple question: How would Jonathan have been better under the circumstances -- fall in global oil price, our mainstay?
ReplyDeleteSafari, Jona would have fared much better. Had a good team and achieved a lot. Opposite of what we have. And u all know it but pinch urselves to cover ur bad choice becos u neva read history
DeleteDasuki brother Mr Isah fighting indirectly for his brother, PDP looters not speaking for ASUU, cos all his saying has nothing to with ASUU Motto. The true about it is that is too early to conclude on Present Administration of one year. Jonathan rule this country for six years at the time crude was very high at the rate of about $ 170 per barrel, what is the price of crude oil now? So is unfair to blame present Govt about puberty.
DeleteYou just prevaricated - no substance in your answer. Try again.
DeleteSai Baaba!
