Nigerian universities lecturers on Tuesday advised the country’s Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajuiba, to resign and go into farming.<\/p>\n

The Chairman, Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Ibadan chapter, Prof Ayo Akinwole, speaking on behalf of the lecturers, stated this while reacting to the minister\u2019s criticism of the union.<\/p>\n

In his statement on Tuesday, Akinwole said the minister\u2019s criticism showed that he was na\u00efve on education matters.<\/p>\n

The minister, Nwajuiba, had, on Monday, in an interview,\u00a0said the striking lecturers should resort to farming,\u00a0saying they could not dictate to their employers, how they should be paid.<\/p>\n

He had said: \u201cGovernment is actually not holding anyone to ransom. It says \u2018this is how I want to pay and it has to be through IPPIS (Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System)\u2019\u00a0 You can leave the employment. You can opt out of it and say \u2018I no longer want to teach\u2019. You can find other professions. What we need now are probably more farmers.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot keep forcing your employer and tell him, \u2018I will like you to pay me my money through my pillow. Or, \u2018I will like you to pay it through this mailbox\u2019. ASUU has a lot of complaints and dissipation around<\/p>\n

However, Akinyole described Nwajiuba\u2019s statement as a reflection of “his shallow understanding of the academic profession and the low premium the current administration placed on education.”<\/p>\n

According to him, the minister of state had \u201cdisplayed his naivety on educational matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the Minister of State for Education is interested in farming, he should resign his appointment and stop displaying his cluelessness of the problems in the education sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are on a just fight to ensure that those in public offices become responsive and responsible to the masses they swore to serve. They must fund public education. We have been on the same salary since 2009. That is no longer sustainable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe universities are being run with personal sweat of lecturers while politicians siphon money for personal aggrandizement. We cannot accept the IPPIS that is against the laws of the land and which fails to recognise the uniqueness of academic profession and culture,” Akintoye said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
