Ambode LASU unions laud governor for proposing single 5-year tenure for VC

TheLagos State University(LASU) Staff and Students Union on Wednesday commended the state government for proposing a single term of five years for the post of the institution’s Vice-Chancellor.
Gov.Akinwunmi Ambodehad on Nov. 15, sent the institution’s 2015 Amendment Bill to the State House of Assembly for ratification.
This is contained in a statement by the state’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Steve Ayorinde.
‎
The unions told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) inLagosthat the development was a welcome idea.
‎
Mr Saheed Oseni, Chairman, Senior Staff Association of Nigerian ‎Universities (SSANU), LASU chapter, said the bill when passed would go a long way in stabilising the institution.
Oseni said that the single term tenure for the vice-chancellor would also help to eliminate the lingering crisis in the institution because it would caution the substantive to be well behaved.
"The person coming ‎on board will behave well within his or her period, knowing that his name will either be recorded in the good or bad book of the people,’’ he said.
‎
Mr Alfred Agusuo, Chairman, Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU), LASU chapter‎ also commended the governor for doing the needful and yielding to the yearnings of the unions.
Agusuo said that the bill when implemented would lead to a reduction in the problems facing the institution as it did in federal universities within the country.
"Initially, the Federal Government was also operating a four-year renewable tenure in the federal universities which led to incessant crisis in most of the institutions.
"However, since the implementation of the single term of five years tenure, the problems in the federal universities had reduced to the barest minimum.
"And I am sure the same will happen in LASU,’’ he said.
‎
Mr Adeyemi Onikoro, Presidents, Lagos State University Students Union (LASUSU), also said the proposed bill was what obtained in other universities.
"This is an agreement that was agreed upon by all states, federal government and academic staff unions and as such, no state is expected to breach the agreement,’’ he said.
Onikoro urged the governor to as a matter of urgency look into the other issues affecting the institution as the issue of the vice-chancellor was not the only burning issue.
"We should not forget that this is not the only issue we have in LASU; there are other issues that call for attention of the visitor to the ‎university.
"We implore the visitor to the university, Gov. Ambode, to please look into these issues and take a swift step towards resolving them all,’’ he said.

LASU Students Protest Increment in Acceptance Fees

Lagos State University, LASU students union protest increment in acceptance fees. Any attempt to sustain the increment may lead to a looming crisis from the students.
The Lagos State University (LASU) Union, has urged the school management to revert the increase in acceptance fee. The fee, which was formerly N10, 000 has now been increased to N20, 000.
Mr Adeyemi Onikoro‎, LASUSU Chairman, told the ‎News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that the reduction should be with immediate effect.
Onikoro said that the increment was another strategy devised by ‎the authorities to exploit the students and a technical way of increasing the school fees.
“Such a policy was initiated sometime ago at the Obafemi Awolowo Universit‎y (OAU), Ile-ife, but it caused crisis which led to the closure of the university for six months.
“We do not want such to happen in LASU, so that the academic calendar will not be distorted; that is why we are calling on the new governing council and the acting Vice-chancellor‎ to do the needful.
“Any attempt to sustain the increment will be vehemently opposed by the students,” he said.

N5000 To Unemployed Youths To Begin In 2016

The administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has started plans to pay the N5000 monthly allowance to the about 25 million unemployed youths in the country by 2016.
The All Progressives Congress had promised before the election that it would address the issue of unemployment by paying unemployed youths N5000 and also introduce a feeding programme to schools.
The Peoples Democratic Party had in a motion called on the president to immediately fulfil his campaign promise by implementing the N5000 payment to unemployed youths but the move was rejected by APC senators.
The Punch however reports that the federal government had started plan on Monday, November 16 to pay the unemployed youths and also implement the school feeding programme and this will be covered in the 2016 budget.
Some officials have also been saddled with the responsibility of finding out the accurate number of youths that will benefit from the scheme.
A top government official who spoke on the condition of anonymity said the scheme had to be done well so that it would not be mismanaged and hijacked by politicians.
“You know that if the scheme is left open-ended, even Nigerians, who are employed and are by no means vulnerable, will still struggle to benefit from it.
“You also know that if not properly handled, politicians will hijack the scheme and it will become a means of settling their constituents, whether they qualify to benefit from it or not.
This is why the government will come up with data on the beneficiaries very soon.”
The official said the scheme might not take off in January or February of next year as it was important to ascertain the number of youths that deserve the payment and how much it would cost.
Mr. Laolu Akande who is the senior special adviser to the vice president on media and publicity confirmed that work was already on to identify the beneficiaries.
He said:“Work is ongoing on various aspects of the implementation of that social investment plan, including the identification of those that will benefit from it. Very soon, we shall be concluding work on that; that is a very important aspect of the programme.
“The plan of the government is to start as much as possible in the area of social investment, and conditional cash transfer is part of it.
“It is the plan of the government to explore how to start this with the 2016 budget.”
According to the Ministry of Finance and that of Budget and National Planning, the full implementation of the scheme would cost the federal government N125bn monthly and a total sum of N1.5tr annually
Another anonymous source said that apart from the N5000 unemployment payment and the school feeding programme, the government also planned to take care of Internally Displaced Persons.
He said: “We have started working on the budget since September this year at the Ministry of Budget and Planning.
“Since the ministry is the one coordinating the plans of government, what we did was to identify six priority programmes by pillars which have already been communicated to all the Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government.
“So while preparing the medium term plan, what we did was to look at the manifesto of the APC and prepare our plan based on what its campaign promises were to Nigerians before the elections.
“And since social development is a key aspect of its campaign, we identified social protection schemes such as the conditional cash transfer and the school feeding programme as key to the programmes for 2016.”
President Buhari canceled the SURE P Programme which was also aimed at helping Nigerian youths.Christopher Kolade who headed the programme before he resigned said it had been hijacked by politicians and the true beneficiaries did not benefit from it.

All Airports In Nigeria Will Be Shut Sunday Midnight – Aviation Unions

Airports across Nigeria may be shut down beginning from Sunday midnight, two leading unions in the sector have threatened.

The unions – National Union of Air Transport Employees, (NUATE) and the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE), in a letter dated October 21, 2015, accused the NCAA of not adhering to the condition of service with respect to promotion of workers and other welfare issues.

The letter jointly signed by the Secretary General NUATE and Secretary General NAAPE, Comrades Olayinka Abioye and Aba Ocheme, respectively, threatened to shut down the agency from mid-night on Sunday until further notice.
The unions insisted that the withdrawal of service by the workers became paramount in order to safeguard the integrity of NCAA’s condition of service.
The unions noted that the action of the Director-General of the NCAA, Captain Muhtar Usman, was in violation of section 3.4 of condition of service, adding that all efforts to discuss with the management had been futile.

The letter said: “By the copy of this notice, the general public is hereby informed of this development and the implications that all safety regulations activities of the NCAA will be unavailable from that time and date.
“The above notice will remain in force until otherwise directed by the secretariat of our unions.”
“The management of NCAA has been playing some pranks so to speak because ordinarily, people who are due for promotion ought to have received their letters since January or thereabout, but as we speak those letters are not forthcoming.

“The management is trying to introduce a new policy that is not known to the condition of service, which is that they said the ministry of aviation directed them to conduct an examination.
“We are going to take all lawful and legal steps to ensure that we do what we have capacity and capability to do, which the last resort will be a strike because we are tired of impunity of the NCAA management,” the letter added.
