The ASUU Strike

I can still remember vividly in the month of July when the academic staff union of universities embarked on an industrial strike. The strike which came unexpected to students of universities (public Universities to be precise) still leaves a sour taste in the mouth of each student. Most schools were writing their semester examinations while others were busy preparing for exams before the strike incident. Worse of all are those set to graduate and leave their various campuses to proceed to the one year compulsory National service.
Initially within the first month of the industrial action, all fingers could be seen pointed at the Federal Government for a breach or will I say failure to implement an already signed agreement in 2009. Slowly days turned to weeks, weeks to months and months running into a year yet there has been no mention of suspending the strike despite the Federal Government’s ‘effortless’ effort. Yet the finger pointing has not stopped amongst students as some see the stand of ASUU as inconsiderate while others perceive the Federal Government to be magnanimously wicked for their inability to honor an agreement which has spanned five years. With meetings and counter meetings been held still there has been no score on the strike. This has since justified the saying that ‘when two elephants fight, the grasses suffer’.
The strike came also with its negativity as acts of deviances have since been reported such as increase in crime and prostitution also the issue of dependency is also not excluded as most students could not get meaningful part time jobs due to the high level of unemployment in the country.
Now we are hearing of schools voting to cut off from the industrial action by ASUU. How true is this?  we don’t know. What are the implications of this action for any such school? We still do not know
Many students have given up hope on continuing academic studies this year as can be seen on their various updates on social Medias. We can only but count losses of both time, human and material resources wasted within this period of strict industrial action and of course do what we really know  how to do best in situations like this… pray.
