Sad but that is the bitter truth. The government never sat in One table with ASUU as partners to draft the said agreement. During the presidency of YARADUA ASSU single handedly drafted that agreement and forced the government with series of strikes to assent it, which they did due to public out cry to stop the strike then. But come to think of it ASUU wanting the addition of another 90 billion naira to their recurrent expenditure iscrazy, once the fed govt agree to do it the state universities will ask for the same amount and trust me state governments will never be able to pay the money. If they eventually have their way which i doubt then we should be ready for the worse because the price of school fees will sky rocket and an average Nigerian will not be able to acquire university education. Workers from other sectors will also come out and tell thegovernment; you raise ASSU budget by 90 billion, we needa raise too which is not healthy for the economy at the moment especially with the oil theft. So ASSU just need to find a way to lower their expectation.
