The Kano State Ministry of Education has canceled secondary school qualifying exams over the strike action by the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress.
The Ministry had set Tuesday, November 14, 2023, for the exams but has now suspended it indefinitely.
The statement read in part, “the State Ministry of Education, has suspended 2023 Secondary Schools Qualifying Examination (SSQE) scheduled to take place today Tuesday 14th Nov. 2023 till further notice.”
The statement signed by the Director, Public Enlightenment of the Ministry, Balarabe Abdullahi Kiru, appealed to students and parents/guardians to bear with any inconvenience the suspension may have caused.
The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) says it will embark on daily peaceful protests from Wednesday as part of measures to ensure its demand are met.
The association gave the notice on Saturday in a letter addressed to the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) and made available to journalists.
The letter, which has ‘notice of nationwide mass protests and picketing by NARD,’ was signed by its president, Emeka Orji and secretary-general, Chikezie Kelechi.
According to the doctors, it is the decision of the national executive council of NARD to embark on such action.
“We wish to bring to your notice of the decision of the National Executive Council of NARD to embark on daily peaceful protests and picketing of FMOH, Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation.
“Also, all federal and state tertiary health institutions nationwide, with effect from Aug. 9 at 10.00 a.m.
“This has become necessary to press home our demands which have been largely neglected by our parent ministry and the federal government.
“We are pained that rather than make genuine and concerted efforts to resolve the challenges that led to the industrial action in spite of repeated ultimatums, our parent ministry and the Federal Government have chosen to demonise Nigerian resident doctors instead, after all their sacrifices and patriotism.
“We therefore resolved that it is time the whole world hears our side of the story, the decay and corruption in the health sector as well as the neglect, the public health institutions have suffered all these years that led to repeated industrial actions,” it stated.
The association, however, said that it believed that the government still had time to genuinely address the issues at stake before Aug. 9 or leave it with no other option.
The resident doctors embarked on an indefinite strike on July 26.
The major demands of the association are immediate payment of the 2023 Medical Residency Training Fund (MRTF), immediate release of the circular on one-for-one replacement and payment of skipping arrears.
Others are the upward review of Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS) in line with full salary restoration to the 2014 value of CONMESS and payment of the arrears of consequential adjustment of minimum wage to the omitted doctors.
Also demanded is a reversal of the downgrading of the membership certificate by Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN).
Other demands include the payment of (MRTF), new hazard allowance, skipping and implementation of corrected CONMESS in State Tertiary Health Institutions and payment of omitted hazard allowance arrears.
Meanwhile, the federal government had on Tuesday, through a letter to all concerned, issued a ‘no work, no pay’ policy following the doctors’ ongoing strike.
The action is to serve as deterrent to other health workers.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities declared a comprehensive and total strike four months ago in order to compel the Federal Government to act on a variety of issues that have lingered between both parties for years.
Since the strike was declared in February, there has been little progress in the deliberations.
Instead, meetings continue to end in deadlocks; banquets, fanfare, party conventions, primary elections, and political campaigns are the order of the day, while the crumbling education sector continues to receive sparse attention.
The PUNCH spoke to some of these students who expressed their frustration with the Federal Government’s lackadaisical attitude to their plight.
A final year student of Bayero University, Kano, Zainab Olayinka, revealed that she has “locked away the student” in herself in order to avoid feeling depressed.
“I have been coping by not letting the thought of it cross my mind too often. It is like I have just locked away the student in me just so I don’t slip into depression,” she said.
Zainab has also taken to interning in an organisation that keeps her connected to her school studies. Additionally, she has ventured into ghostwriting in order to keep herself busy.
“The strike keeps making you alter several life plans. While I know plans are not static, the strike mostly puts me in a bad place in terms of missing out on opportunities just because there is a particular requirement and it is connected with my academic certificate.
It makes you grow older, and then when you are finally out of school they tell you, you need certain years of experience after delaying so much. It is so unfair,” she said.
Chinedu Chisom Uzochukwu a 300 Level student of University of Nigeria, Nsukka, said he has “not been coping” well with the protracted strike which has also left him drained.
“It’s been hell in a way,” he said. “I mean, aside from missing school life, it’s been draining. I don’t even know if I’ve been coping mentally.”
Like Zainab, Chinedu has also started his interning with a law firm after boredom got the best of him while staying at home.
Speaking on the effects of the strike as regards his future plans, Chinedu confessed that while the consequences are not pressing in the short term, he feels a diversion of his interests in education to entrepreneurship is imminent.
An anonymous respondent who is currently in their penultimate year at Bayero University, Kano, agonised over the fact that their school ID card projects that they should be graduating this year.
The student said, “The fact that this (graduation) is not happening reveals how this affects every youth in a public university in Nigeria.
“The delay affects our long term future plans. It makes us sit and watch those from private universities grow and become who they want without much delay while we are being held at the mercies of ASUU and the Federal Government.”
A 300 Level Law student of the University of Ilorin who simply identifies as Subomi, said the announcement of the strike in February came at first as a welcome development.
This is because the previous school session had been rushed due to a previous strike that lasted nine months in 2020.
However, Subomi said when the present strike began to cross the thresholds of its first couple of months, she started feeling “depressed and down”
Subomi who has now ventured into trading, also empathised with her friends who neither have jobs or other things to keep them occupied, as the strike might have a worse effect on them.
She noted how it was the previous 2020 strike that ultimately drove her to start a business which now occupies most of her time.
The law student said, “The first strike we had during the pandemic affected me a lot. I was reluctant to do anything relating to school. I was just tired and I lost interest. Then I started my business around that time. I started seeing money, and consequently started seeing school as a by-the-way thing.
“With this present strike, I’m trying to make money and really focus on money. I’m not bothered about school. I know by the time we resume this will affect me a lot as I would have to try getting comfortable in the school environment again.”
To top it all, Subomi promises to ensure her child “does not attend a Federal University so that they don’t have to go through this.”
Conversely, for Oladipo, a 400 level student of the University of Lagos, the strike has been a blessing. According to him, he underwent a surgery last year and the break has given him time to properly heal.
While he has not been “feeling” empty as much, Oladipo confessed that sometimes he feels like honing his skills in Software Programming and Project Development but has not really been “gingered to do anything productive.”
Oladipo also expressed optimism about the strike saying he does not see it as a delay.
“I don’t think the strike will affect me as a youth. While people see strikes as a delay, I just see it as time to do other things that’ll be beneficial for me and my life. It gives me time to think about how life after school will be, because this is just a preview.
“If you have finished school, this is how life will be. You will just be home chilling, looking for how to break into the next stage of your life. If you can use the time allotted to you between strikes to do that, I don’t think your future will be very much affected. In my industry (Computer science), the degree honestly doesn’t mean that much, what matters more is experience,” he said.
The last development on the strike was another meeting which was held on Monday, in which negotiations by both the Federal Government and the Union led to no concrete conclusions.
ASUU has accused the Federal Government for failing to “satisfactorily” implement the Memorandum of Action it signed with the Union in December 2020, on funding for revitalisation of public universities (both Federal and states), renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ ASUU Agreement, and the deployment of the University Transparency and Accountability Solution.
Other demands listed by the Union include Earned Academic Allowances, State Universities, promotion arrears, withheld salaries, and non-remittance of third-party deductions.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has announced that it would continue its ongoing strike action which has paralyzed academic activities in the nation’s universities by another 12 weeks.
The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) in Akwa Ibom has suspended its five-day-old strike in the state.
The union disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday by its chairman, Mr. Edet Emenyi and secretary, Mr. Victor Amirize, in Uyo.
The teachers embarked on strike on March 15 over the non-payment of leave grant from 2017 and 7.5 percent contributory pension refunds to members, among other demands.
The suspension of the strike followed the government’s decision to meet some of the teachers’ demands during a meeting between the government team and the leadership of NUT in Uyo.
The government, according to the statement, agreed to begin immediate payment of leave grant from 2017 and 2018 as well as the one month minimum wage arrears to primary schools teachers in the state.
The statement read: “These understandings reached at the meeting – the installment payment of 2019, 2020 and 2021 leave grant to primary schools teachers.
“Payment of promotion arrears for six years – 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 to primary schools teachers and immediate commencement of 2019, 2020, 2021 promotion exercise to teachers.”
The NUT directed teachers in primary and secondary schools across the state to resume normal academic activities from Monday.
The Federal Government will meet with the Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) in a bid to end the union’s warning strike on Tuesday.
The union embarked on a 30-day warning strike on February 14 over the federal government’s failure to honour agreements signed by both parties.
The varsity lecturers are demanding revitalisation funding for public universities, earned academic allowances, adoption of University Transparency Accountability Solution (UTAS) as an alternative to the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS), payment of promotion arrears and the renegotiation of 2009 ASUU-Federal Government Agreement.
The Deputy Director of Press and Public Relations in the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Charles Akpan, disclosed this in a statement on Monday in Abuja.
He said the Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige, would meet with the ASUU executives and other relevant government agencies at the minister’s conference room in Abuja.
Akpan said: “The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, by 1:00 p.m. at the minister’s conference room.”
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Sunday accused the Federal Government of insincerity in addressing issues concerning the country’s education sector.
The union embarked on a 30-day warning strike last Monday following the federal government failure to honour agreements signed by both parties.
The ASUU Chairman, University of Ibadan chapter, Prof. Ayo Akinwole, stated this in a statement in Ibadan.
He decried the refusal of the federal government to improve the conditions of ASUU members despite the death of some members.
Akinwole said: “Due to stress arising from failure of the federal government to recruit more staff, ASUU has lost many of her members to death while others have simply moved out of the country in search of greener pastures.
The federal government lacks integrity. It is sad. The government cannot be trusted longer. We have been on the same salary for 13 years and it is even shameful to show anyone your payslip.
“When compared to the work we do, we have sacrificed for Nigeria to the detriment of our wellbeing and this is already dampening the morale of our people.
“Federal government should sign the renegotiated agreement, implement it, roll out UTAS, pay unpaid earned academic allowances, and commit more funds into the revitalization of universities.”
The Academic Staff Union of Universities has given notice that it will embark on a one-month warning strike to press home its demands.
The warning strike is in agitation for the implementation of agreements with the Federal Government.
This was disclosed by the ASUU President, Professor Emmanuel Osodeko during a press conference at the Aderinokun Auditorium of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) after a marathon meeting with the members of its National Executive Council (NEC).
He said, “The strike will be comprehensive and total and would last for the period of four weeks to enable the Federal Government to make changes.
The union would embark on an indefinite strike if their demands are not met within one month.
The ASUU President further rejected reports of the association’s lack of concern for the educational sector saying, “Contrary to the views canvassed in some quarters, our union loathes to disrupt academic activities on our campuses. We love our students and respect their parents and guardians.
“We are also not insensitive to the genuine concerns about stable academic calendars in public universities expressed by patriotic Nigerians and lovers of Nigeria.
“But the blame should be squarely put at the doorsteps of those who have ignored our patriotic yearnings for a development-oriented education in Nigeria.
“The patience of our members has been tasked beyond tolerable limits. The greatest assets of any nation is its human capital, Any nation that pays lip service to education as we currently witness in Nigeria will only grow in age and never experience genuine development.
“We, therefore, seek the understanding and support of all stakeholders to make Nigerian government more responsive to issues of human capital development including health and education.
“We invite all lovers of education to join our struggle for a greater Nigeria. Nigerian politicians keep proliferating educational institutions without prioritizing education.”
Members of the Association of Resident Doctors, University of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital (UNIMEDTH) have suspended their two-day warning strike.
The President of UNIMEDTH, John Matthew, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Akure.
The doctors had on Wednesday embarked on a warning strike after a member of the association was allegedly assaulted by relations of a patient the previous day.
Matthew said the strike was suspended following the intervention of the Special Adviser to the Governor on Health, Mr. Francis Faduyile.
The statement read: “This is to inform you that the two-day warning strike embarked upon by members of our association yesterday, February 9 has been suspended and our members are back to work at 8:00 a.m. today.
This decision is borne out of the assurances of the special adviser to the governor on health, to among other things, address the immediate and remote cause of the barbaric act of assault against doctors and other healthcare workers in our institution.
“The congress, while appreciating efforts of the management at apprehending and prosecuting the accused person, demands that all measures must be put in place to protect healthcare workers in the course of their duties.
“And also see to it that other issues raised are promptly treated in the interest of all.”
The National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) Lagos State has suspended its three-day warning strike.
This was disclosed by the chairman of the association, Olurotimi Awojide while speaking after an emergency congress in Lagos State on Monday.
The Association had embarked on a three-day warning strike to protest poor remuneration and working conditions in the Lagos State health sector.
Awojide in his speech appreciated the governor for his prompt response following a marathon meeting with him and other stakeholders.
“We are hopeful that implementation on our demands will commence immediately. It is on this note that we are suspending the strike to give room for the implementation of our demands. All nurses in the state are expected back at their duty post by 8:00 on Tuesday”, he said.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Bauchi Zone, on Tuesday decried the poor attitude of the Federal Government towards the implementation of the 2009 agreement signed by both parties.
The ASUU Coordinator in the zone, Prof. Lawan Abubakar, who addressed journalists at a press conference in Jos, Plateau State, said such a lackadaisical attitude by the government would force the union members to embark on an indefinite strike.
The union had on November 14, issued a three-week ultimatum to the government to implement the agreement or risk another indefinite strike by the varsity teachers.
Abubakar, who was represented at the forum by his predecessor, Prof. Nanmwa Voncir, said the agreement was renegotiated in May 2020, yet the government has remained adamant about its implementation.
He advised the federal government to implement the agreement to avert another strike.
Abubakar added that the union’s demands were not personal, but aimed at lifting the standard of university education in the country.
The coordinator said: “The Bauchi zone of ASUU feels that the government has been tolerated enough and we cannot continue to entertain its officials who are failing to do the needful for over the years.
“Impending strike action can be avoided if government officials can do what they failed to do in the last one year.
“We are, once again, pained to bring these issues to the public domain because more than a year after suspending the 2020 strike, little progress has been made towards implementation.
We are also pained to inform the public that ASUU has activated its process of resuming the conditionally suspended strike immediately after the expiration of the three-week ultimatum.
“Should we embark on strike, know that we are forced and government should be held responsible and accountable.”
President Muhammadu Buhari has appealed to the Academic Staff Union of Universities to resort to dialogue as a means of channelling their grouses rather than embarking on incessant strike actions.
The president gave the charge through Prof. Ignatius Onimawo, who represented him at the 36th convocation of the University of Ilorin held in Ilorin on Saturday.
Prof. Onimawo is former Vice-Chancellor of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo
Buhari implored the ASUU to embrace peace saying, “No one gains from a crisis. While government alone cannot solve all challenges facing society, this administration is willing to listen to complaints and alternative points of view to managing a situation.
The university system cannot withstand any crisis now considering the time it had lost to Coronavirus pandemic.”
He reiterated the government’s resolve to prioritise and promote teacher education to raise the quality of teaching in the country.
President Buhari also tasked the University of Ilorin to play a leading role in the research and production of vaccines locally.
“The nation expects your university to play a leading role in research efforts to develop COVID-19 vaccine in Nigeria.
“The nation expects nothing less from the Nigerian university system,’’ the president said.
The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) on Sunday threatened to resume its nationwide strike over the Federal Government’s “unsatisfactory” implementation of the agreement signed by both parties.
The union was protesting the poor state of public polytechnics and monotechnics and non-payment of 10 months’ arrears of the new minimum wage.
ASUP suspended its nationwide strike in June.
The union’s Publicity Secretary, Abdullahi Yalwa, said in a statement that the union discussed the report on the implementation of the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the federal government during the 101st Regular meeting of its National Executive Council held at the Gateway ICT Polytechnic, Saapade, Ogun State.
According to him, the union expressed dismay at the government’s “lethargic approach” towards the implementation of some items in the MoA despite its decision to suspend the strike for three months.
The spokesman said the union would not give any warning again to the government if it fails to address its demands.
Yalwa said: “ASUP equally expressed its dismay at recent reports of infractions in the process of appointment of Principal Officers in Federal Polytechnics and some State-owned Polytechnics in disregard of extant provisions in establishment laws.
“In view of the unsatisfactory status of the implementation of the Union’s MoA signed with the government in April 2021, the Nigerian public should hold the government and its agencies responsible for any other breakdown of industrial harmony in the sector as our union and her members have shown considerable patience and restraint.
“The union once again demands that the government should without further delay ensure the release of the arrears of the Minimum Wage to staff, release the approved Revitalization Fund for the sector and set up the implementation committee to administer the funds, recommence the renegotiation of the union’s 2010 agreement and withdraw institutional accreditation to State-owned institutions where salaries are owed to staff.
The union resolved to deepen its consultation on the next steps as there will be no further warnings if the government fails to do the needful in the immediate.”
The Federal Government has sent an appeal to the striking doctors of the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) to discontinue their current strike action.
This appeal was made by the Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
The Minister further noted that negotiations are ongoing over the doctors’ allowances in order to ensure an end to the protracted feud.
“I want to appeal to NARD for them to reconsider their position, get back to work tomorrow or next and then come back again for discussions. We have so many things to discuss.
“I have nephews who are resident doctors. I have three of them at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Teaching Hospital, UNTH Enugu, Orthopaedic Hospital, Enugu. I have so many of them. I have a son who will graduate in Medicine in October. I cannot destroy the profession, I have to protect the profession too,” Ngige said.
In response to the recent court case filed against the doctors, Ngige said, “The court has ruled and said ‘Go and do some more settlement but meanwhile, you go back to work and continue the settlement’.”
The Ondo State House of Assembly on Thursday appealed to the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) to suspend their ongoing nationwide strike in the interests of Nigerians.
The resident doctors embarked on an indefinite nationwide strike on August 2 over grievances that include the delayed payment of salaries and allowances.
The lawmakers made the call during a debate on the matter at the plenary.
They asked the striking doctors to toe the line of peace, and return to work.
The Speaker of the House, Bamidele Oleyelogun, stressed that the NARD’s dispute with the Federal Government had lingered and urged the association to end the strike.
Oleyogun called for a tripartite meeting involving medical personnel, the executive and the legislative arms of government in a bid to resolve the dispute.
Public primary school teachers in the Bwari local council of Abuja have commenced a strike over the delay in the payment of their June salaries.
Pupils, who came for studies on Wednesday morning, were sent back home by the teachers.
Meanwhile, the development comes barely two days into the third term examination for primary school pupils in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
One of the teachers, who pleaded anonymity, said the area council chapter of the National Union of Teachers (NUT) had given the notice of strike through a circular on Tuesday.
Another teacher, who spoke on the development said out of the six FCT area councils, only Bwari has failed to pay primary school teachers their salaries for June, added that all efforts made by the NUT to get the salaries paid did not yield results.
When contacted, the Vice Chairman of the Bwari area council, Aminu Musa, said the issue was sorted out last night and the salaries would be released before 10 am on Wednesday.
The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has called the bluff of organized labour by saying his government will not succumb to ‘cheap blackmail’ on the strike notice which has been called for tomorrow, May 17.
In a statement during a press conference on Saturday in Kaduna, El-Rufai who was represented by Head of Service, Bariatu Muhammed, described the threat by labour to embark on a strike over the refusal of the state government to follow laid down rules in the recent sacking of some civil servants as a futile gesture, warning that he would not condone any disruption of essential services in the state as a result of the strike.
According to the government, the trade unions planned to use hoodlums during the strike to disrupt the peace of the state and had notified security agencies to take action.
As is appropriate, the security agencies have been notified of the plans of some trade unionists to recruit hoodlums, including from other states, to create a destructive spectacle and further their self-serving narrative about public service jobs and insecurity.
“The government has made it clear that it is not sustainable to persist in spending 84% to 96% of its FAAC receipts on salaries and personnel costs as has been the experience of the state since October 2020.
This government was not elected to devote most public funds to paying government workers and treat that as its defining governance mission, to the detriment of developing the state and its people. The government explained that the rightsizing of the public service would affect political appointees and civil servants.
“The necessary verification of credentials for full implementation of this painful but necessary decision is still being done. It has not determined the total number of officers that might be affected by the decision.
The Kaduna State Government prefers to take lawful and rational steps that are within its powers to rightsize its personnel and thereby reduce its wage bill. We will not, therefore, succumb to the veritable campaign of lies and misrepresentation by the trade unions on the matter.”
Ondo Chapter of the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, (NANNM) would begin a three-day warning strike, starting March 1 to March 3.
A letter on Thursday signed by NANNM Secretary in Ondo State, Comrade Aina Emmanuel Oluwasegun disclosed this.
This decision is coming as a result of the inability of the state government to fulfill its part of the aggrement to pay hundred per cent of their salaries. The government paid fifty per cent breaching the initial agreement.
The statement reads “Sequel to the meeting the State Executive Council of National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, NANNM held on 16th February 2021 which resolved that State Government should:
“Pay 100% salary of January 2017, December 2020, January 2021, 20% balance of December 2016, 50% November 2020 and commencement of New Salary Adjustment for Local Government Nurses within seven working days,” the statement partly read.
“Following the expiration of the seven (7) working days ultimatum without a response from the government you are directed to proceed on three (3) day warning strike from 12midnight on Monday 1st to Wednesday 3rd March 2021 at first instance.”
The Federal Government and the non-teaching staff of Nigerian universities will resume their meeting on Thursday.
The meeting between the two parties held earlier this month was inconclusive.
But the federal government and the workers who came together under the aegis of Joint Action Committee on Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities and Allied Institutions agreed to set up a committee to resolve the dispute over Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) and the N40billion earned allowances.
The Deputy Director (Press) in the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Mr. Charles Akpan, who disclosed this in a statement, said the meeting would hold at the ministry’s headquarters in Abuja.
The workers are challenging the inconsistencies in the implementation of the IPPIS, non-payment of arrears of national minimum wage, delay in the renegotiation of FG/NASU and SSANU 2009 agreement and non-payment of retirement benefits of former staff of the universities, among others.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities has agreed to call off its eight-month strike which has grounded academic activities in the public universities since March.
The union leadership reached the consensus during a meeting with the government team led by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, in Abuja, on Friday.
The government also pledged to pay N40 billion as the Earned Allowance and N30bn for the revitalisation of the university system bringing the total payment to N70 billion. The FG further agreed to settle the arrears of salaries of the lecturers before December 31.
This is happening one week after the Federal Government accepted the demand by the ASUU that they be exempted from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) pending the approval of their proposed payment system, the University Transparency and Accountability Solution(UTAS).
ASUU is expected to report the agreement to its organs and then communicate their decision to the government after which a date for the calling off of the strike would be announced. A source revealed that ASUU insisted that the agreement should not be announced until it has been approved by its members. Speaking to journalists after the meeting, Ngige said the parley was fruitful, adding that the government made a proposal to ASUU which it would take back to its members.
He said, “Many issues were discussed at the meeting including salary shortfall, the payment system and revitalisation of the university system. I am positive that all the issues would be resolved at our next meeting.” The ASUU President, Prof Biodun Ogunyemi, simply said everything Ngige said was correct and declined further comment.
