That, in our opinion, is subterfuge, it is deceit and disdain to the other party in a dispute. That, in our thinking, is too self-serving and has the capacity to encourage other trade unions to also come up with their designed payment system as against that of the government. Much as we have our thumbs down for the government for being slippery, cunny, evasive and somewhat arrogant in dealing with the agreements it willingly entered into, we are also miffed by the unyielding and insensitive attitude of the lecturers to their students’ plight. It is worrying to note that because of this prolonged strike, many of the students who should be in school or should have graduated, have taken to criminal activities such as armed robbery and prostitution. The court order and the registration of the new unions, in our view, imply that the government is not ready to end the ASUU strike through meaningful dialogue. The latter was designed by ASUU following complaints against the IPPIS over alleged poor standardisation and incompatibility with the university system.
