ASUU- Indefinite strike

The Academic Staff Union of University, ASUU, has threatened strike action if the October salary of its members is not paid by the Federal Government.

ASUU recently announced the rejection of the Integrated Payment Personnel Information System (IPPIS) which they claim is being forced on them by the Federal Government.

The IPPIS is mandated by the FG to see to the payment of salaries of all workers. The FG also warned that any worker not captured by IPPIS will not be paid.

Reacting to the development, Ade Adejumo, ASUU coordinator, Ibadan zone, who spoke to journalists on Sunday stated that it is designed to suppress the masses.

“The government has not only rolled out its propaganda machines against our union but is also planning to ambush the union and force our members into this ill-informed platform,” he said.

“These ominous signs have made it expedient for ASUU, as a responsible union of intellectuals, to puncture the lies sold to the public by the government, particularly the office of the accountant-general of the federation so that members of the public can better be informed about our position.

“The government, conceding that the university is peculiar and different from the civil service, ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) of government, agreed to the autonomy of universities in Nigeria and signed into law the Universities Miscellaneous Provisions (Amendment Act) in 2003.

“For emphasis, therefore, we now present detailed perspectives of our union’s rejection of the IPPIS to discerning members of the public. We have cited these laws to expose the mischief or ignorance of the accountant-general of the Federation in his reckless statement that by opposing IPPIS, our union endorses corruption.”

The Brief History of Sunday Igboho

The Brief History of Igboho Igboho occupies a key place in the history of the old Oyo Empire. Whilst Oyo is an integral part in the history of Yoruba, Igboho’s contribution to the sustainability of Oyo Empire can neither be erased nor expunged. The origin of Igboho started with the migration of Gbage from Ilesha. There was a chieftaincy tussle then, where the younger brother of Gbage was installed as the Owa. The (aggrieved elder) brother left the kingdom to give peace a chance. That senior brother that left the palace of Owa was called Gbage Olabinukuro and founded his own village called Ebiti. All his supporters, including hunters, followed him to this new abode. At that period in Yoruba history, there was Fulani invasion of old Oyo Empire. Alaafin Ofinran and his people were forced to vacate their home. When Alaafin got to Ebiti, he met Gbage who had migrated from Ilesha. Alaafin Ofinran saw that Gbage was a powerful man who had a lot of charms and was very formidable in the act of ...

WHAT TRUE FRIENDSHIP IS ALL ABOUT

Someone defined a friend as someone who knows you are not perfect but treats you as if you were. I dont know if that applies to you too but i can't agree more.. Friendship is what people should cherish, inspite of all odds. Be that as it may, it does not come easy and sometimes it creeps in on you. When you go to a place, you take no friend with you, none is there to herald your entry:but when you leave, you leave many of them behind and belive me you will not leave unsung. In life we meet people across paths, mend fences and come out stronger. Nothing endures like a life long friendship. Do not let the link cut or pay. Samuel Johnson once said that if a man does not make few acquaintance as he advances through life, he will soon find hinself left alone. He did not say that nothing goes wrong in friendship, but we should mend it when it goes bad.. A MUST READ...
