On 9 March 2020, ASUU began a two-week warning strike to protest the non-payment of salaries to lecturers who were not captured with the Government Personnel Payroll System ]IPPIS ].
Some of the lecturers were against the policy of IPPIS because its motive is a deterrent to the development of the university system.
ASUU was formed in 1978, a successor to the Nigeria Association of University Teachers formed in 1965 and covering academic staff in all the federal and state universities in the country.
Ever since its establishment, the ASUU has embarked on several strikes and protests in ensuring a better educational system in the country.
In 2007, the ASUU went on a one week Warning Strike, to press a range of demands, including an improved salary scheme and reinstatement of 49 lecturers who were dismissed many years
Earlier. In June 2009, ASUU ordered its members in federal and state universities nationwide to proceed on an indefinite strike over disagreements with the federal government on an agreement it reached with the union about two years earlier.
On 1st July 2013, ASUU embarked on another strike which lasted for 5 months and 15 days.
The claims made by ASUU have centered largely on funding and revitalization of Nigeria public universities as well as a certainly earned allowance which it claims to be in arrears of 92 billion Naira.
To some Nigerian students, ASUU is rather a curse than a blessing, a journey of 4 to 5 years have virtually become infinity, a lot of students find the strike devastating and dream killing mechanism which has stagnated their academic sojourn.
while other students believe that the struggle is a revitalization struggle aimed at changing the system, it is a sacrifice that must be made in order to have a lasting solution to the educational decadence in Nigeria.
During these 9 months of long stalemate coupled with the pandemic lockdown of Covid19, life has not been easy for many students across the nation,
Choco Naija interviewed some students, in some interviews conducted, some students satirically mentioned that they have forgotten their matric numbers, subject courses, and project topics.
Most of them said they have moved on with their shattered life
The end justifies the means, whichever way it goes, Nigerian students will never give up
