The FG Is Using The Judiciary To Compel ASUU To Go Back To Work And Bring An End To Our Patriotic Struggle.

They think it is through the use of law that they can strangulate us and then deliver the final blow after suffocating us for long using the evil ploy of "No work no pay". 

Fellow Colleagues "enough is enough", since all our legitimate appeal - to get the FG understand and do the needful and save the Universities from total collapse- fell on deaf ears. It is time to let the cat out, i.e.

we have for long been toiling to curtail the rot in the system, believing that FG will honour its side of bargain and meet up with its obligation. But no, what we got in the end is despise and an all out war to subjugate ASUU so that the public Universities can finally be annihilated. 

IF eventually we decide to be "law abiding citizens" and the strike is suspended, we should then STRICTLY abide by the laws governing our responsibilities in terms of work load. 

 We shall henceforth: 

(1) ONLY teach the approved number of students,

(2) ONLY supervise the approved number of students,

(3) work for only the approved duration. No more overload of courses. 

(4) ensure that laboratory practicals are conducted only for the approved number of students.

Of course we should ensure that our colleagues in training are among those considered in 1 to 4 above. 

(5) those with administrative responsibilities especially Dean's & HODs should stop using their personal money to run the system.

(6) just use sign language to deliver the lecture, if we're not provided with teaching materials.

(7) those going for external examinations should only participate after they are fully paid. Remember the remaining part of the allowance has persistently been pending since 2009. 

(8) stop using our PCs to do university work. We can all queue up to use the computer in the exam office (since it is the only one provided by the university). The waiting time will definitely be long before it gets to our turn to use it, but why worry.

(9) where we are forced to teach an overpopulated class, we should mark, submit and consider result for only the number of student approved by the University law.

(10) stop carrying the burden of the system on us beyond what the law says. Remember the excess work we've been doing (whose allowance we've earned and is yet to be paid since 2009) is what causes accelerated ageing, the proliferation of gray hairs, rapid depreciation of sight and hypertension (mind you these are not reversable.

There is no better time to be law abiding than now.

I come in peace
