By Bola Bolawole

President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Professor Emmanuel Victor Osodeke, has given hope that the eight-month-old strike action by his members may soon come to an end – whether gloriously or ingloriously, I must add! The intervention of the House of Representatives, led by its speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, must have broken the ice so much so that Osodeke could confidently announce that he (interpreted, ASUU?) has sighted light at the end of the tunnel: After eight wasted months, which is like three academic semesters! My son, who is in the first semester of Part Three at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, told me his friends and classmates in strike-free universities will be graduating in two months’ time!

ASUU: OF HALF-SALARY, PRO-RATA, SIX AND HALF-A-DOZEN DICHOTOMY

By Bolanle Bolawole

When we thought the dust had settled on the eight-month-long strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), President Muhammadu Buhari’s fumbling and wobbling administration came up with its pro-rata as opposed to half-pay nonsensical dichotomy. In this instance, what is the difference between half-salary and the pro-rata payment the ASUU members received last October? For lecturers who had gone without pay for eight months, especially those of them with no other visible or viable means of livelihood other than their monthly salary, the semantics of half-pay and pro-rata is not only frustrating, it is also the last thing they had expected from a government alive to its responsibilities, especially to our youth who have wasted, in one stretch, close to two academic sessions that cannot be totally regained, no matter what the lecturers do to try to cover lost ground.
