I was watching channelsTV this morning and one of the guest on set Dr. Adeyemi Daramola. (Senior Lecturer Faculty of Arts UniLag) raised a suggestion and threw it open for public debate that instead of going on strike everytime, can't the leadership of ASUU form a pressure group consisting of the sultan of sokoto, oni of ife, oba of benin and all other respected and highly placed obas, former heads of state, and respected people in the society. This group would be the point of call when there's any labour dispute between the union and FG as such they will be sent on behalf of the union to pressurise(talk to) FG, because of their status and wealth of knowledge ASUU as well as other labour unions can make their grieviances known to FG, this he thinks will reduce the number of strikes and also the union will be get what they demand for.

What do you think about this; what are the merits and demerits of this idea?

Superb idea,and this will help a lots to revitalise our rot system.Pls., this should be related 2 those Unfortunate victims of Bad governance(ASUU).

Personally, i think this is a very good suggestion and should be urgently looked into, it will reduce the suffering of students, academic calendar will not be uttered, their demands will be met and it will inturn reduce the number of students that go outside the country for education since they know the possibility of schools going on strike is low.

I only hope ASUU considerd this alternative.
