Lecturers Are Demanding Too Much as N92bn is Unachieveable to Pay Say Government

If you are a student, still waiting for the strike to be called off, please you better start praying well because this time, it either the lecturers go back to their schools or nothing. According to reports:

THE Federal Government on Tuesday said it did not have the resources to meet the N92bn financial demand by the Academic Staff Union of Universities.

Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, at the opening of a two-day meeting of Commissioners of Finance and Accountants-General of states, said the N92bn being demanded by the university lecturers was not within the reach of the Federal Government.

She said, “At present, ASUU wants the Federal Government to pay N92bn in extra allowances, when the resources are not there, and when we are working to integrate past increases in pensions. We need to make choices in this country as we are getting to the stage where recurrent expenditures take the bulk of our resources and people get paid but can do no work.

 So, back to the matter, what do you think, is the FG right or the lecturers are really demading so much, moreover,  I have never seen lecturers strike for infrastructural decay and development. If you ask me again, wetin me I go talk.
