"Where does ASUU expect FG to get the money from? - Uche Ifeanyi

I am surprised at your comment on Ajaero’s threat. Does ASUU understand the working of government?
After the year’s budget has been passed, where does ASUU want the money to come from? Earned allowance is the responsibility of university council and not Federal Government. Yet, government is assisting. ASUU is unreasonable and irrational and those of you supporting them should re-examine yourselves - 08038571431".
Culled from Dailysun newspaper of Tuesday 22/10/2013, page 26.

When you read some comments against a well articulated constructive criticism, you will see just how lamely some of us can be. No wonder, some people just resort to raining abuses and curses instead of offering superior counter argument. This fellow (08038571431) questioned, "where does ASUU expect the FG to get the money from after the year's budget has been passed?".

From his comment, is obvious he knows nothing about budgeting, the prerequisite and procedures, and i doubt if he had also heard of supplementary budgeting before. For your information Mr 08038571431, for someone to have said he/she had budgeted, he/she is assumed to have considered his/her challenges vis-a-vis solutions against his/her income in line with the period of time giving.

It is also obvious, you know not how Federal tertiary institutes operates. Do you think, if federal schools were to be autonomy we would be in this mess? if they manages their resources, pays their staffs, we are talking about schools that have well over 10000 students, even if their school fees is N25,000 per session, do the maths yourself. You never asked why do private owned institute flourishes, simple because the generated funds goes back into the institute.

Once again, let me educate this fellow on the issue at hand. ASUU is not making a demand for 2010 nor 2013, but of 2009 over an agreement signed and documented by both parties. If the FG had cared they had 2010, 2011, 2012 and this current 2013 to have included it in the budget. If they had been implementing just 25% of the said agreement each year, we wouldn't be at this fix. Even the demand ASUU is making according to their website is not for the said money be given to them, as many has had them misquoted and misunderstood, but for the FG to have those things put in place however they (FG) deems it right, just fix the sector.

Yes, we know agreements are not always 100% kept, but sincerity demands that the other party be briefed and begged for leniency before due, if in anyway the other can't meet up with the agreement due date.

Finally, Mr 08038571431, is only someone who careless of you will learnt of your thrice home check of him/her, and yet finds it less important to give a call-back. Use your tongue to count your teeth, but if you don't have tongue, try using your finger. This agreement has been on FG's table for the past four years, yet no look in, and you still blame ASUU over this situation for whatever reason you may have. Hope you are not a government stooge?
