Ribadu Says ASUU Crisis Too Costly For Nigeria; Urges End To Strike by Nobody: 11:35pm On Oct 19, 2013
Sincere 9gerian:

Mr. Ribadu says the country risks losing its great talents to the ongoing face-off between ASUU and the Federal Government.

The presidential candidate of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), in the 2011 election, Nuhu Ribadu, has lamented the ongoing strike by university lecturers in the country, under the auspices of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), describing it as a costly action for the country which should be resolved without further delay.

Speaking Saturday in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, Mr. Ribadu said the logjam created by the industrial action may deprive the country of the needed quality manpower as students rust away at home.

He called on both sides to “as a matter of urgency, bring the current lingering industrial action to an end.”

According to him, “Nobody wins in this supremacy game. Rather, the students, who are the proverbial grass in this fight of the elephants, are the ones paying direly for it. This also ultimately draw us back as a nation as a lot of potential talents could be wasted as this strike rage on.

“I therefore appeal to both sides to urgently come to amicable consensus that will reopen the doors for our students to get back to the class. No doubt, our universities need better funding but in pressing for that, caution should be applied so as not to asphyxiate the ailing patient.”

Well said Ribadu. Atleast someone in the opposition can still say the truth, unlike Tinubu and his online children of anger who are milking cheap political gains from the Strike.

I hope the lunatic who is currently the leader of ASUU will listen to Ribadu.

Maybe the president should even massively sack those mostly corrupt and lazy lecturers and dam the consequence. Maybe we should re-build from scratch and any of the old lecturers still interested in working will be employed under a new contractual agreement. The worst that can happen is NLC, TUC and co embarking on solidarity strike.

The best he can do, in my opinion, is to reach an agreement with ASUU to use the money they are asking for to set up industries that would be managed by the universities to generate revenue for them. If 600 billion or 1.5 trillion is used to set up industries that wld generate billions of profit annually, ASUU wont beg for money again.

but the chances are there that if u give them that money, they wld squander it or use it to build infrastructures that wont add to the country's economy.

This strike issue is becoming something else!
When two elephants fight, the grass suffer for it, in this case now, the FG and the ASUU are the elephants while the grass is the students but the ultimate sufferer is our dear country. Just imagine the effects of this ongoing strike in the lives of our youths who are suppose to be leaders of tomorrow and see how shady tomorrow(future) of our dear country will be. I just pray both the FG and the ASUU will reach a compromise and put a stop to this their face-off for the sake of our leaders of tomorrow.

May God help our dear country by touching the heart of every stakeholders involved is settling this issue.

If at this point the strike has not yet been called off, it means there's something wrong somewhere.

To me, ASUU should try and suspend the strike and continue with their negotiation.

The students are tired of sitting down at home. The reason why I won't blame ASUU is because of the money the FG is planning to use in Abuja city gate and centenary village.

The money they are about to use for the both is enough to solve most of the problems in this country.

Ribadu, thank you for saying the truth, those in powers do not have the love of this country in their hearts at all, since their children dont attend all these public schools, its either they are sent abroad to school or to private institutions for their education, they dont patronise anything public, so, how do you expect them to be humane and considerate? If one of the president's children or VP's or any of those stakeholder's are schooling in one of our universities, will they be happy seeing their children wasting away at home for almost 4 months now? I just wonder the part of planet our leaders(rulers) are from, who will not consume the products they produce themselves. I just pray God touch their hearts.



And private institutions aint helping matters at all, because how many Nigerians can afford to send their children/wards to private institutions, and we wonder why crimes are increasing on a daily basis, have we forgotten that an idle hand is the devil's workshop.
May God help this country.

And in addition to this, no public officer, be it politician, public servants and civil servants should be allowed to send their children abroad for any service, be it medical or educational, and also, shouldn't patronise anything private, once anyone is caught violating this rule, such should be sacked with immediate effect without any benefit. Maybe this will gear them to put in their best in making our national heritage more functional and meaningful.

Just my opinion.
May God help us all.

How could you come up with such an absurd suggestions? Well said Ribadu, both parties should shift ground, no victor and no vanquish

Ribadu no problem.
As soon as this useless govt begins to implement their agreement as stated in the document, ASUU will go back to classes.

The government manage the ASUU crisis badly.

Labor people are always strong-headed people and government should always know how to relate with them to avoid crisis.

But the government has failed so far on this crisis.

you're just allergic to the truth. GEJ was part of the government that signed the agreement with ASUU. He even reiterated his commitment to the agreement in 2012. Why is he finding it difficult to implement agreement? A contract is null and void if one of the parties involved refuses to fufill its own part of the agreement. The FG has failed woefully to fufill its own side of the contract. ASUU members are going to sit at home for as long as it takes!!! Our universities must become world class.
