FG/ASUU confrontation

In any civilised and enlightened society, no government that bothers

itself about public opinion will allow the ongoing strike by the

Academic Staff Union of Universities to go on indefinitely. This is

more so when the next general election is coming up in less than two

years from now. Ordinarily, this strike is enough to bring down the

ruling government in civilised clime, but that is not to be in Nigeria

because the government, with all the instruments of office, is not

counting on people's vote, but on their own well designed, perfected

and tested scheme. Whether we like it or not, the scheme has worked

for them in Offa Local government election and heaven did not fall.

The grand design will follow in the 2015 presidential election. After

all, what can we the masses do? Nothing! It is sad.

I'm sure if an opinion poll is sought from across the country on the

need to proscribe the Academic Staff Union of the Universities, the

body can't survive the next 48 hours. The inglorious strike embarked

upon is uncalled for now that the Federal Government is trying to

transform the entire country. If our graduates were being rated as

second class abroad, is it ASUU's obnoxious strikes that will help the

students or that the members double their teaching/research efforts?

ASUU's actions tantamount to insubordination, rascality and greed

against their employers. The Federal Government should proscribe ASUU

now and those who refuse to go back to classes should be dismissed.

There are thousands of other qualified people who could be engaged as

lecturers all over the country.
