Confusion in Calabar: UNICAL Lecturers vs Police on ASUU strike
Many would wonder why there were gunshots, and a standstill in the Capital
City of Cross River in the early hours of Monday, a carnival haven which at present remains the most peaceful state in
Nigeria today.
Calabar residents panicked at first, due to the recent abduction of the deputy's governor's father some residents speculated that Militants were out on an attack on government personnel’s but eventually Snazzy was found out from a reliable source reporting that;
The hundreds heavily armed police drafted from formations around Calabar, the Cross River State capital on Monday who barricaded the main gate and other entrances to the University of Calabar to stop members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU from carrying out a planned city walk.
The police were led by an Assistant Commissioner of Police in charge of operations, , Nnange Itam took over the entrances to the University of Calabar as early as 6am to carry out what they called order from above as usual !!
He reiterated “We have instructions to stop the lecturers from marching out of the university premises to the city (though the school environs was fully manned by armed policemen as well) because they could be attacked by their students who are angry over the prolonged strike and the market women who the other day protested to express their anger with the teachers” (Itam).
Furthermore, he said the lecturers are not demanding for increase in salary as the people are being made to believe but that ASUU is asking for the implementation of the other nine items on the Agreement the union had with the Federal Government in 2009.
He also narrated the genesis of the present ASUU strike with the following points;
1. Out of the ten items on the Agreement between the Federal Government us in 2009, only one item has been implemented and that is salary increase for the lecturers, so if the issue is on salary increase we would not be here but we are asking for the implementation of other nine issues amongst which is the improvement on the infrastructure in our universities.
2. Any government that does not pay attention to education is a failure and no hunger policy can drive us back to the classrooms to face the same situation that we are protesting against; from the action of this government that is terming ASUU fight for better infrastructure in our universities for the children of the market women as politics, the Jonathan government is a failure.
Also speaking, Professor Festus Iyayi, the past Chairman of ASUU, said government is being intransigent by refusing to obey an Agreement that the Secretary to Government personally drafted on behalf of government and assured would be implemented by the latter.
He went further to allege that a certain public office holder personally drafted that Agreement that every year the government would release the sum of 400 billion naira for the development of infrastructure in the universities but government later reneged saying what was agreed was 100 billion naira”.
He said, “Our negotiation took three years, 2 months ago we had a committee meeting in the Senate convened and presided by Mrs. Chukwu Merije and I was shocked when Pius Anyim got there and claimed ownership of the document but when we began talking about the content he said I put in that document 100 billion Naira to be provided to the Education sector and Mrs. Chukwu Merije asked him if he did not cross check the document because in her copy it’s 400 billion Naira that is written, where did your one hundred billion come from?
Further allegation includes a number one man in Benue State as being a contractor, in his words “a scandalous contractor even when the money was far from materializing he had already proposed and recommended several contractors to build hostels in our tertiary institution with 1.4 million Naira per bed space and he boasted that he has already built such in his institution which is outrageous and when we presented it to the Vice President he promised to look into it but nothing has been done.
We will like to hear the views of the Greatest Malabresses and Malabites on this development.

Interesting: ILO Tasks Nigerian Government on Health and Safety bill
Arise oh compatriots.............Nigeria's call obey!!
Nigeria , giants of Africa as usual had slept on the proposed Health and Safety bill of September 2012 only to be awoken by an International body to pass sign this bill into a Law.
While our Government sleeps on the bill, some of our workplaces are not different from death traps!!
As reported ‘’INTERNATIONAL Labour Organisation, ILO, Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations, CEACR, has called on Nigeria to take necessary measures towards ensuring that the Occupational Safety and Health Bill becomes a law’’ (Vanguard, 2013).
The proposed bill contains hazardous work that should not be performed by children under the age of 18 years. The CEARC is the ILO supervisory body which addresses observations and directs request to member states.
The committee, in its 2013 report, charged government to ensure that the Child Rights Act of 2003, which prohibits the worst form of child labour in the country, comes into force in all the states of the federation. The report noted that only 26 states in Nigeria have enforced the Child Rights Act 2003, and called on government to take necessary measures to ensure that all states comply with the provisions of the law before the end of 2013.
The committee further asked government of Nigeria to provide information with regard to enforcement of the Child Rights Act in the remaining states.
On the Safety and Health Bill, the committee frowned at Section 28 (1)(c) and (2) of the Child Rights Act provides that children under the age of 18 years shall not lift, carry or move heavy materials that are likely to harm their health of hazardous work. ( but trust our Government but wait !!! Did anyone state the recommended safe load if they are putting restrictions? What can be considered heavy in Nigeria? 50kg? )gegege.
Hear our Federal Government, ‘’ We had indicated that the Occupational Safety and Health Bill, which is currently before the National Assembly, contains a list of types of hazardous work prohibited to young persons under the age of 18 years. In addition, the Bill, government explained has also identified the areas where the types of hazardous work exist’’ Embarrassing cos even 8yrs old are working in Nigeria directly or indirectly
Consequently,
1. The Committee urged government to expedite action in the passage of the Bill and requested the government to supply a copy to it, once it has been adopted.
2. The Committee asked the Nigerian Government to Provide information with regard to the enforcement of the Child Rights Acts in the remaining states where it has not been enforced.
3. The ILO supervisory body equally asked government to take necessary measures to validate and adopt the National Policy on Child Labour and the National Action Plan against Child Labour developed within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) project.
4. It also charged government to provide information on its implementation and impact on eliminating child labour.

4. It also charged government to provide information on its implementation and impact on eliminating child labour.
5. The ILO boss said clear lessons emerged from the plenary sessions that demonstrated a growing understanding of what needs to be done to eliminate child labour in a sustainable way, and that not only governments but also other actors – workers’ and employers’ organizations, businesses and civil society – are taking up their responsibility and showing increasing leadership.
Ryder warned that as the number of child labourers go down, the job of combating child labour will get tougher because it will be about getting to those children who are difficult to reach – child soldiers, children being exploited sexually, children working on farm fields and other dangerous environments.
Question time:
I. How has the Nigerian Government reacted to this?
II. Do we even need reactive approach against Proactive about issues like this?
III. Will this government ever sign this bill?
IV. Who will follow up for feedback on this?
V. Will the passage of this bill create a Positive Safety culture in Nigeria?
VI. How many Nigerians knows about this proposed Health and safety bill?
Answers to these questions are the REASONS why Snazzy Won’t Rest Until the Corporate Manslaughter is arrested and dealt with in Nigeria.
