Daniel Danjuma ON ASSU STRIKE WHAT IS ASUU DOING ABOUT THE CORRUPT ATTITUDES OF LECTURERS. WE IN THE MIDDLE BELT HAVE SUFFERED GREAT VICTIMIZATION IN SECURING ADMISSIONS INTO HIGHER INSTITUTIONS IN NIGERIA. THE IBOS CALL US ONYIHAUSA, THE YORUBAS CALL US GAMBARI AND THE HAUSAS SAY WE ARE CHRISTIANS. OFTEN ONE HAS TO HIDE HIS IDENTITY IN ORDER TO SECURE ADMISSION. WELL, THANK GOD THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION HAVE EMBARKED ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MORE UNIVERSITIES TO ENABLE GREATER ACCESS. HOWEVER, THIS WILL ALL BE USELESS WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE ROTTEN ATTITUDES OF LECTURERS. AFTER CROSSING THE OBSTACLE OF ADMISSION ONE WOULD THING EVERYTHING WILL BE OKEY ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT THE LECTURERS ARE THE GREATEST FRUSTRATION YET ONE HAS TO FACE. MOST OF OUR MALE LECTURERS ARE MORE OF HE GOATS AND DOGS THAN HUMANS. I THINK THEY NEED TO UNDERGO ANOTHER ROUND OF CIRCUMCISION AND IF THAT DOES NOT TREAT THEM THEN CASTRATION. ASUU MUST ALSO TAKE UP THE ISSUE OF LECTURERS FRUSTRATION OF STUDENTS. A SITUATION WHERE NIGERIAN LECTURERS FAIL STUDENTS AND WHEN THE SAME STUDENTS GO ABROAD THEY EXCEL IS A CALL FOR CONCERN. LECTURERS ARE TO HELP STUDENTS DISCOVER AND BUILD THEIR POTENTIALS RATHER THAN FRUSTRATE AND KILL SUCH POTENTIALS. THERE IS NO REASON WHY EVERY NIGERIAN YOUTH WHO WANTS TO FURTHER HIS STUDIES SHOULD NOT HAVE ACCESS TO UNIVERSITY EDUCATION EITHER ON THE BASIS OF ETHNICITY, STATE OF ORIGIN OR LACK OF FUNDS. THE LACK OF SCHOLARSHIP MUST BE ADDRESSED. ALL NIGERIAN UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE SCHOLARSHIP OF NOT LESS THAN N300,000.00 PER SESSION IRRESPECTIVE OF WHERE SUCH STUDENT COMES FROM. HOPE THAT IS PART OF THE STRUGGLE BY ASUU. EVERY LOCAL GOVERNMENT, EVERY STATE GOVERNMENT AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE COMPELLED TO PAY NOT LESS THAN N100,000.00 EACH TO EACH STUDENT AS BURSARY ALLOWANCE TO NIGERIAN UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS OF NIGERIAN HIGHER INSTITUTION. OUR GOVERNMENTS AT ALL LEVELS MUST BE MADE TO INVEST IN THE EDUCATION OF ITS PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT WE HAVE PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES. ONE OTHER THING I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND IS WHAT DO THE VARIOUS UNIVERSITIES DO WITH THE VARIOUS FEES AND CHARGES THEY COLLECT FROM STUDENTS. DO THEY PAY IT INTO GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTS? HOW DOES OUR UNIVERSITIES AFFECT OUR INDUSTRIES, OUR ECONOMY AND OUR SOCIETY. I REALLY DO NOT SEE WHAT THEY DO OTHER THAN PRINTING AND ISSUING CERTIFICATES WHICH IS MORE OF CERTIFICATES OF ATTENDANCE. HOW CAN THEY WHEN THEY ONLY DOWNLOAD WHAT THEY HAVE MEMORIZED FOR MANY YEARS. NO NEW DISCOVERIES SO HOW CAN THEY CONTRIBUTE EXCEPT OF COURSE WE AS A NATION WANT TO GO BACK TO 1914. IT SHOULD BE OF CONCERN TO ASUU THAT GRADUATES HAVE TO BE RETRAINED IN ORDER TO BE EMPLOYABLE. ASUU, PLEASE WAKE UP. ASUU, PLEASE BE REALISTIC AND STOP ALL THESE YOUR POLITICAL SELFISH STRUGGLE. MY TAKE FOR NOW. GOOD DAY.
