The minister of labour and employment, Chris Ngige, has said that that the Academic Staff Union of Universities must first end its strike action before another meeting.

Ngige mentioned that the government has so far kept to its word by paying the salaries of lecturers who are currently on strike.

The minister stated that it is wrong for lecturers to be on strike at this time when the nation needs them to be embarking on research for the cure of coronavirus.

He said: “It is immoral and despicable for those who should be conducting research as Nigerians for the discovery of new pills and medical equipment that will be used during COVID-19 period to say that they are at home playing Ludo and Draft and other games.”

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Friday described the Virtual matriculation organised by the Vice Chancellor, Osun State University, Professor Labode Popoola as a scam.
The Union lashed out at the VC, alleging that he was aiming to use the matriculation to get financial favour from the federal government.

The Union stated that its Strike was still on to get Federal government commit funds to infrastructure, including Information Communication Technology which is central to online delivery mode.
In a release signed by the Ibadan Zonal coordinator of ASUU, Professor Ade Adejumo, ASUU described the virtual matriculation as a charade.

The Ibadan Zone of ASUU comprised University of Ibadan, Ladoke Akintola University, University of Ilorin, Kwara State University and Osun State University.
According to the Union, the University has succeeded in exposing the hapless students whose parents are experiencing non-payment of salaries, amputated salaries, disengagement and rightsizing due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic ravaging the world to be exploited by cybercafe operators.

ASUU noted that poor students do not have the wherewithal to cope with financial demands of online learning saying this is why ASUU is on strike to make Government fund revatilisation of infrastructure including ICT.
The University of Osun had conducted virtual matriculation in a ceremony attended by only the principal officers of the institution led by the Vice Chancellor, Labode Popoola who stated that the institution will strive to be a 21st century university.

But ASUU stated that UNIOSUN cannot complete effectively as it lacks the infrastructure to execute e-learning delivery.

According to the Union, members of the Union are on strike adding that the students should not be scammed to expect virtual classroom. ASUU maintained that many public varsities have weak to non-existence ICT infrastructure.

The examination department of National Examination Council (NECO) has called for the resumption of secondary school final year students.

This was disclosed in a circular directed to the boards state officers and titled: “CONDUCT OF 2020 BECE AND JUNE JULY SSCE“. The circular fully reads:
Management is of the view that if the two (02) examinations stated above will be conducted and in good time this year, the Council needs to take more proactive measures.

“One of these is to convince relevant Stakeholders of the need for resumption of final year students writing public/ external examinations as soon as possible.

“With only them in school joined by only the teachers directly involved in the conduct of the examinations, the recommended social distancing, with other safety measures can be observed.

“In the absence of students in other classes, all available halls, classrooms, laboratories and even offices can be utilized to achieve the desired spread of the candidates especially on the days major/general papers will be written.

“This suggestion is in view of the realization that based on daily report of the spread of COVID 19, and Introduction of virtual learning by Governments, schools and institutions, full resumption of school may not be possible even in the near future
“You are directed to immediately commence talks with the Commissioner for Education and other concerned MOE officials in your state to convince them of the need to recall ONLY the students writing public External examinations. A specific period will be allowed for revision and the examination will commence.

“As soon as you secure the approval of the Commissioners and you inform Management accordingly through your Zonal Coordinators, official letters will be sent to them through you and further necessary steps will be taken to commence the examinations in earnest. This without doubt is in the interest of all stakeholder s in the education industry.
“Please treat with utmost importance and urgency“

In the Month of March, the Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Education ordered the closure of schools across the country in a bid to effectively contain the spread of corona virus.
It is roughly two months since private school teachers have been at home with nothing doing and majority didn’t receive March salary.

Despite the low pay, private school teachers use their salary for sustenance but this is not so since the outbreak of corona virus in the country.

Aggrieved private school teachers have aired their displeasure over the lockdown that has brought untold hardship to them and urge the Federal Government to consider reopening of schools so they can sustain and survive.

It should be noted that in the last Presidential broadcast, President Muhamadu Buhari reiterated that schools remain close so as to prevent person-to-person contact in a bid to contain the spread of the pandemic.

However, most Government workers go to work, while others work from home and they all receive salary. But this is not the case for private school teachers as there’s no means of receiving salary as far as the lockdown continues.
