The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, on Thursday, weighed in on the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

Kanu lamented that the Federal Government allegedly budgeted N91billion for grazing reserves while nothing was allocated for education.

ASUU began its current strike on November 4, 2018 and the end to the industrial action seems not to be close as the Federal Government was yet to meet the demands of the aggrieved lecturers.

Reacting to the protracted strike, Kanu wondered why youths are still supporting leaders who he claimed, valued their “cows more than them.”

In a tweet, the IPOB leader wrote: “N91Billion for grazing reserves but nothing for education. ASUU is still on strike. Youths whose future are being stolen are in support of their oppressors who value their cows more than them.

“Nigeria is indeed a Zoo? No wonder Africans are easy to enslave, it’s genetic.”

He said “Once you do this, we will collaborate with the administration of the president to build a bridge to link the two states and end the agony of losing our people to incessant boat accidents.
“We will provide jobs for our youths. We will make sure that you have infrastructure, which will not only boost trade but will also generate employment. We will revive local industries, especially agro-processing factories. Importantly, our administration will accord proper respect to the traditional institutions.”

Olufemi Atoyebi and Ademola Babalola
The Academic Staff Union of Universities on Sunday denied receiving the sum of N163bn from government in a bid to suspend the three-month old strike.
In a statement titled, ‘Re: N163bn released to ASUU: Putting the record straight,’ signed by the Ibadan zonal coordinator of the union, Dr Ade Adejumo, the union, said, “Once again, the attention of our union has been drawn to another piece of misinformation which gives the impression that ASUU collects money from government.
“For umpteenth time, let it be known that our union is a patriotic organisation whose activities are driven by principled conviction that the resources of the country can better be managed for the ultimate benefit of the Nigerian society, especially the education sector which is our immediate constituency.
“The government and all civilised individuals are aware of how the university is managed, so also the resources available to it. The government knows that it is the council and the university administration that receive and spend all the money coming into the university. ASUU doesn’t receive money from government and doesn’t spend it.”
It added, “Even money meant for our salaries and other allowances come directly to the university administration which prepares the budget and manages it. ASUU members collect only their salaries as paid by the university. Contracts and all the capital projects are awarded by the councils that are appointed by the government, not ASUU.
“It is in the context of the above that our union calls on the vice-chancellors and council chairmen to stop behaving like vultures that wait silently by the sidelines, waiting for the game to fall only to descend on the carcass.
“They should join forces with ASUU in its struggles to attract requisite funding into our public universities rather than working at cross purposes with us. Part of the least expected from them is to come out openly to put the record straight each time the government comes out with the deliberate falsehood that money has been released to ASUU.”
The President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Prof Biodun Ogunyemi, had earlier on Saturday, similarly said that the Federal Government claim that it released N163bn to settle part of the demands of the union was misleading.
Ogunyemi, who spoke on the sidelines of the Nigeria Labour Congress meeting in Abuja, said, “The minister referred to the release of N163bn but that was not released by the Ministry of Education to revitalisation. That fund he alluded to was from TETFUND. TETFUND was there when we carried out the NEEDS Assessment in 2012. What we called Revitalisation Fund today is a product of that exercise of 2012. We have always drawn a line of distinction between what TETFUND gives and what we should access from the NEEDS Assessment Fund.
“They are different terms of intervention that should not be equated to one. TETFUND as an intervention agent is ASUU’s brainchild which became a reality. The funds from NEEDS Assessment is to fix specific items of deficiency in our system. Both Federal and state governments have now relinquished their responsibilities to TETFUND, they now hold on to it.”

President Muhammadu Buhari says his administration has no free money to give to everybody but it will continue to provide infrastructural facilities to all parts of the country with the meager resources available.
Buhari
Buhari
The president stated this at the closing ceremony of train the trainer workshop on voter education organized by the All Progressives Congress Directorate of Election Planning and Monitoring in Abuja on Monday.
President Buhari pledged that the APC led administration would continue to build more roads, rail lines and provide more power for speedy transformation of the country.
He, therefore, charged participants of the workshop to convince ordinary voters on the need to vote APC in the forthcoming elections
He said: “Please try and convince our ordinary voters for the sacrifice they are making that as far as this system is concerned we are all the same because I have one vote each.
“Let them feel they are important enough as Nigerian citizens. Therefore, we need their support and cooperation, let them come and vote for us.
“We don’t have money to give everybody. We will use the money for the provision of infrastructure – we will try and do your roads, we will try and do the rail and we will improve on power.
“I assure you that I go to bed and wake up thinking about Nigerians and Nigeria.’’
President Buhari, who expressed optimism that the APC would emerge victorious in the forthcoming general elections, said the results of the recent bye-elections conducted in Edo, Ondo, Osun and Ekiti had further boosted his morale.
“The bye-elections in Kogi and Rivers were disastrous under the former party leadership as people were killed, properties lost and I as the President was very uncomfortable and unhappy.
“But the elections in Edo and Ondo partially resuscitated my morale because we won those elections.
“And then of course, subsequently we have virtually been winning all bye-elections – Ekiti and Osun and so on.
“This is done not because merely we are in power but because we decided to rebuild the party from bottom upwards so that people that represent the party and members of the party at each constituency will know whom they would trust for nomination as their representatives at local, state and federal levels.
“These are not there by accident. We sat and planned them at the hierarchy of the party and I’m very pleased you are here representing all the constituencies in the country.
“We have no other interest than to serve this country and to serve our people,’’ he said
The president congratulated the participants for being nominated by the party in their constituencies to participate in the training programme, so that they could go back to their respective constituencies and train others.
In his remarks, the APC Director of Election Planning and Monitoring, Babatunde Fashola, narrated the achievements of the governing APC in the over three years it has been in power.
He explained that the achievements of the party in the period under review superseded that of the 16 years of People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Fashola, who is the minister of power, works and housing, disclosed that beneficiaries of the training programme were expected to train other APC volunteers at their respective constituencies.
He expressed the hope that with the training of the APC volunteers at all levels, the party was poised to emerge with landslide victory at the 2019 elections.(NAN)

Serena Williams will not win her 24th grand slam title at the Australian Open this year.
Williams crashed out of the Australian Open at the quarter-final stage in dramatic circumstances on Wednesday.
A left ankle injury surely contributed to her squandering of a massive 5-1 advantage and four match points to Karolina Pliskova, although the 37-year-old played down the problem and its effect on the outcome.
“I don’t think it had anything to do with my ankle per se.
“I just think she was just nailing and hitting shots. Obviously I made some mistakes but she played really well after that,” Williams said afterwards.
The Czech, who also beat Williams at the 2016 US Open, prevailed 6-4 4-6 7-5 in a shade past two hours in Melbourne.

Jorginho has been a key figure at Chelsea since arriving in the summer
Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri intends to stick with his tactical methods until his players are fully adapted.
The Italian has persevered with a 4-3-3 formation, with creative midfielder Jorginho at its heart, even though Chelsea's performances have stuttered of late.
IN MY NEXT POST :Transfer Talk: Does Higuain suit Chelsea?
The panel discuss Maurizio Sarri's move for Gonzalo Higuain and how the Argentina striker will fit in at Chelsea…
N'Golo Kante has been deployed on the right side of midfield, in a more attacking role than the one to which he is accustomed, in order to accommodate Jorginho, who followed Sarri from Napoli to Stamford Bridge last July.
Ahead of Saturday's game at Arsenal , Sarri said: "We are not ready to change at the moment.
"I can change when we are at 100 per cent in what I want to see. If in 4-3-3, we are at the top, we can try to change.
Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri says he does not know how close Gonzalo Higuain is to signing for the club
"Like in Naples last season, when we played in the last period also in 4-2-3-1. But not at the moment. We are not ready."
Sarri said Jorginho was "in trouble" in
last week's win over Newcastle and would have been replaced had fellow midfielder Cesc Fabregas not left for Monaco.
"Maybe in the last two matches, he was a little bit tired," Sarri said. "He moved the ball a little bit [more] slowly than before, but I think that it's normal.
Maurizio Sarri says promising youngsters like Ethan Ampadu can help Chelsea improve
"You cannot stay at the top for 60 matches, so it's normal to have a different period, a period when you are not so lucid as usual. But it's not a big problem."
Asked if his job depended on his club strengthening in the transfer market, Sarri said: "Not at all, I don't think so. My job is on the pitch.
"I don't want to be involved [in transfers], because I want to spend my energies on something different.
"I want to spend my energy on the pitch, otherwise for me it is a problem.
"In England, we have to play every few days - If I spend 50 per cent of my mental energy on something different, then I am in trouble on the pitch.
Sarri thinks defender David Luiz is back in top form
"Everyone knows my opinion and I am confident the club is working. I am not able to understand why I have to get involved."
When it was suggested Chelsea needed to improve on recent efforts for him to be completely secure in his post, Sarri said: "(Callum) Hudson-Odoi is improving, (Ethan) Ampadu is improving, David (Luiz) has returned to the top level, (Ross) Barkley has improved.
"So, we are improving."

Chelsea manager, Maurizio Sarri, has stated that his star forward, Eden Hazard is not a leader.
He said the Belgian must deliver more to realise his full potential and help dig Chelsea out of a slump in form.
The Italian further criticised his team heavily after they slipped to a 2-0 Premier League defeat at Arsenal on Saturday, labelling his players “difficult to motivate.”
Chelsea look set to remedy their striker problem with the imminent arrival of Gonzalo Higuain on loan.
Sarri wants more from Hazard, who was voted the second best player at last year’s World Cup.
Sarri who addressed a press conference ahead of Chelsea clash with Tottenham, on Thursday, said, “In this moment, he’s more an individual player than a leader.
“He is very important for us, of course, because he is a great player. He always can win the match in two minutes. Sometimes in one minute. But, at the moment, he’s not a leader.
“I think he said that coaches told him that he needs to do more.
“I think he has to do more. Because the potential is higher than the performances. He has to respect first of all himself. He has to do more.
“Eden is at the moment a wonderful player, but an individual player. He is an instinctive player so for him it is difficult to play in only one position.
“He likes very much to go to the ball so for him, I think it is very difficult to play as a striker.”
Sarri’s public reaction to the defeat at Arsenal has raised questions over his future at Stamford Bridge just six months into his reign in charge.
