LASU Strike: Govt Appeals LASU Lecturers To Embrace Dialogue
Lagos State Government on Saturday pleaded to striking LASU workers to embrace dialogue instead of continuing with their industrial action, which it described as an unnecessary drawback for its spirited efforts to boost the academic standing and reputation of the institution.
While explaining its stance on the various issues raised by the lecturers, the State Government said the strike is a crude attempt to force new terms and conditions of service on the university without due regard to their practical feasibility or the State Government�s interests and perspectives as employer of labour, proprietor and sponsor of the university.
A statement signed by the State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Lateef Ibirogba, and released to The liveschoolnews.com.ng said, �the striking members of the local branch of Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) appeared to be whipping up sentiments to justify a premeditated industrial action, as all the points they advanced could not even be properly classified as trade disputes that could warrant an �Indefinite Strike Action.�
The lecturers� union executives, according to him, have in an attempt to rush out on strike, evaded all attempts to make them follow due process and engage in reasoned dialogue as regards the issues raised, most of which, he said, were not at all contemplated by the terms and conditions of the lecturers� employment as well as it�s financial and academic plan.

Why We Withhold Results Of Some Candidates-WAEC
The West African Examination Council has come out to refute speculation hovering around that it withholds results of some candidates due to their excellent performance.
The West Africa Examination Council says it withholds results due to examination malpractices in its centres.
While speaking at the 18th Youth Empowerment and Restoration Initiative Career workshop organised by Lonadek Oil and Gas Consultants in Lagos on Thursday, the Zonal Coordinator of WAEC, Lagos and Ogun states, Mrs. C.O. Agwu, said examinations conducted by the body were not to witch-hunt candidates, but to examine their academic intelligence.
Agwu said, �WAEC rewards the best three outstanding students in its examinations.
Meanwhile, we cancel results of candidates who score zero if there is any indicting report about the centre. It is not about the score, it is about having reports of malpractices at any of our centres.
�Imagine a situation where students from the same centre had the same answers, made the same mistakes, and committed the same errors. In such cases, we call subject professionals to examine the situation and make recommendations.�
She advised students to pay adequate attention to instructions, stressing that candidates lose marks when they don�t pay adequate attention to instructions.
On the issue of leakage of examination questions, Agwu said it was due to loopholes from other concerned persons.

ASUU Decries Tuition Fee Hike In Obafemi Awolowo University
The Academic Staff Union of Universities has opposed the decision of the management of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State
to increase the charges of newly admitted students of the institution.
The Senate of OAU had increased tuition fees payable by the new students in the Arts/Law/Social Sciences category by 322 per cent; Clinical Sciences and Pharmacy, 267 per cent, and the Sciences,
253 per cent, claiming it was to improve the standard of the school among other reasons.
But ASUU chapter of the university faulted the university’s management
approach of attempting to generate income, saying that it was “unjustifiable”.
It will be recalled that students of the institution had since the announcement of the increment engaged in several protests as a means to kick against the new fee regime.
It was gathered that the students were in one of their protests shot by a soldier, who was an escort to a presidency convoy that was led by an
ex-militant.
However, the lecturers in a statement by its Chairman, Dr. Caleb Aborisade, warned that students and parents should not be made to suffer the inadequacy of Federal Government.
They demanded that the fee should be reverted to status quo, adding that the increment was not in the interest of the student.
The statement released on Saturday read in part, “The union, while recognizing the huge funding gaps arising from the inability of the
Federal Government of Nigeria to adequately fund education at all levels, vehemently opposes the route chosen by the University administration to address the problem. The increments cannot by any stretch of the imagination be justified.
