ASUU denies plan to call off strike ABUJA — ACADEMIC Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has described as speculative reports that the strike embarked upon by the union over the inability of the Federal Government to implement the 2009 agreement it willingly entered into with the union would be called off this Thursday. National President of ASUU, Dr. Nasir Fagge, told Vanguard that he was surprised to hear that the union was going to call off the strike on Thursday when the issues tabled before government had not been resolved. Faggae said: “There is nothing like that (suspending the strike). I am also surprised to hear people say that we are going to call off the strike. He said: “Our members have made it categorically clear what they want. This meeting we had with government on Friday at the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, is just exploratory. “We are trying to look at issues holistically and see how we are going to address them. So assignments were given to various people that attended the meeting and the expectation is that we will meet tomorrow (today), Monday and look at the assignment given and also look at it on Thursday again. “So, that is why I’m surprised to hear people say that we are going to suspend strike on Thursday. The mandate of our members is very clear. So, we will wait and see what the Monday and Thursday meetings unfold and then we report back to our members.” On how long it would take ASUU leaders to convene a meeting with its members after the meeting with government on Thursday, the ASUU boss said “we are in constant consultation with our members, we don’t really have problems with that. “After the meeting, we will decide when to link up with our members depending upon what is placed on table on Thursday.” Commenting on the speculation that the union might suspend the strike if the government met up to 50 per cent of the agreement, Faggae said the union would prefer to get to the bridge before crossing it. He commended the positive disposition of the Joint Senate and House of Representatives Committee on Education towards the resolution of the crisis. Fagge added: “For us, the interaction we have had with the Joint Committee clearly indicates that they are concerned like other Nigerians”. “This is expected of the representatives of people. You see the problem has always been that the executive arm of government does not really hearken to advise that are given on how best to address the problems on education in this country. “We are convinced as a union that the only thing the government can really do for Nigerians is to avail them of education. “Once you are able to do that, you will see that people will be able to generate jobs and they will be able to take care of themselves and contribute to nation building. So that is the argument we are placing on the table.” please do well to share this!!!!

ASUU may call off strike next Thursday There are indications that the on-going strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities might be called off next Thursday. Governor of Benue State, Mr Gabriel Suswam who dropped this hint Friday said ASUU and the Federal Government had reached agreements on all the contentious issues that led to the industrial action except two. Suswam who was appointed as Chairman of the Needs Assessment Implementation Committee of the Federal Government said after next Thursday’s deliberations between his Committee and the various agencies of government funding tertiary education, all the contentious issues would likely be resolved. Speaking to news men in Abuja after attending a meeting between the Federal Government’s delegation and ASUU, Suswam said that agreements had been reached by both parties on all issues except two. Said he: “We reached agreements on all issues except two. These two issues are those of earned allowances of lecturers and intervention for the federal universities. These are the only issues that are still outstanding.” The Benue Governor further said he believed that by next week after his Committee would have arrived at an agreement on all the issues, ASUU would call off the strike. He continued: ”The SGF would meet with the leadership of ASUU on the issue of earned allowances by next Monday. Then my committee which is dealing with the issue of the needs assessment of the universities would meet again next Thursday and take another look at all the infrastructural deficits which the federal universities are facing. If you go to our universities, you would agree that they are facing infrastructural deficits and that is why my committee would meet with all the funding agencies next Thursday for the purpose of prioritizing all the projects that need to be executed. We are going to invite all the agencies that are involved in the funding of the universities including the Central Bank of Nigeria.” Suswam further stated that the issues on agreements have been reached include: those of retirement age for university lecturers- which has now been increased from 65 to 70 years; the constitution of the governing councils of the universities which has already been done by the Government; the setting up of a pension administrator and the issue of persuading companies operating in the country to set up research centers in the universities. Said he: “As far as I am concerned, if the issues concerning intervention and earned allowances are resolved next week, then the strike could be called off” Among those who attended the meeting were Secretary to the Government of the Federation Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, Minister of Labour, Hon. Emeka Wogu, Minister of Education, Prof. Ruqayatu Rufai and President of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Dr Nasir Fagge. please don't forget to share this!!!

Why do Dolphins save people? For example I've read in articles that dolphins have: 1 swam underneath people or other creatures to lift them up when they are drowning 2. form a pod ring around people when sharks are present to protect them, therefore risking their own lives 3. swim with the people keeping the pod formation to a safe place ie rocks back to sure 4. guide people to the shore I know of their extraordinary intelligence and fun loving nature. But do you think they 'care' about others when they help them? Do they relate to the fear a shark elicits and help? Would you go so far as to say they empathise? Dolphins are highly intelligent. Fun loving... Not so much. Dolphins are not all like flipper. Did you know that dolphins also practice rape? Yeah. Have you read or seen anything on the dolphins that help the people of small costal villages in south asia fish? Yeah they really do that. They will surround a big school of fish and drive them into the shallows where the humans catch the fish in their nets. If a dolphin is netted it don't struggle or panic because it knows the people will help it get out of the net. As a pay off for moving the fish to the people, they are rewarded with a share of the fish that is caught. The people and the dolphins have been doing this together since ancient times and the dolphins always come back the following year. Humans and animals working together. Pretty cool. Why dolphins behave the way that they do has been the subject of much scientific debate. What the real reason is, well, for now you will just to have to decide for yourself. Some science has speculated that dolphins became so smart as a function of evolution. They go on to add that perhaps they got so smart that they developed a very primal level of emotion. In other words, they help a drowning swimmer because they feel sorry for them. Other scientist think that dolphins are descendants of very early primates or man who lived near the oceans. They think, that they spent so much time around water that they began to develop traits and body characteristics that eventually led them to live in water full time....over the span of millions of years. These same people, at least some of them, think that a very close branch of ancient ancestor evolved into mermaids and mermen. Some even think that these so called merpeople still hide in our oceans today and that actual physical evidence exists to prove it. Some people also believe in santa clause and the easter bunny..... So what is the real answer... On this one you will have to make that call for yourself
