6 Realities that will set in When Federal Universities Finally Reopen

By the time federal universities resume, the following unavoidable realities should not take us by surprise.

#1. NO MORE CASUAL LECTURERS: Most contract, visiting, and sabbatical lecturers will leave the federal university system because the current arrangement does not favor for their stay.

#2. INCREASE IN FEES: Most students would not be able to cope up financially because the tuition fees would have to be increased by the universities in order for them to be able to cope up with those responsibilities (casual staff, supervision allowance, external assessment, part-time allowance, contract appointment, external examination, etc) which the FG has taken off its hands from funding those critical elements.

#3. BRAIN DRAIN: Arising from the present experience which is associated with the trauma of stoppage of salary, cutting of salary, removal from payroll, intimidation from the AGF office, withholding of allowances and arrears payable, most of us who are still young and energetic would leave the teaching system and look for other greener pastures where the service would be safer and secured.

#4. CLOSURE OF DEPARTMENTS: Most universities, faculties, and departments especially the newly established ones would have to close because those who visit to establish them have been discouraged by the antics of the government and its agents.

#5. STAIN ON THE PRESIDENT’S REPUTATION: I pity the president because it is under his watch, all these will happen while he is misguided by the capitalist agents who want to kill the public universities in order to give more life to their private universities.

#6. DOUBTS WILL BE CLEARED: I pity the vulnerable and unenlightened public who were also misguided into believing that ASUU is fighting for their interest alone, not knowing that ASUU stood for the survival of education so that our children and yet the children of other masses would have an equal chance, benefits, and access.
