The Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union, COEASU has directed its to work for only two days a week, until the federal government yields to its demand for a 200% salary increase following the difficulty of its to get to work as a result of the hike in the price of petrol.

In a release after its extra-ordinary executive meeting, COEASU President, Smart Olugbeko said the over 250 percent hike in Petrol prices increased the price of food transportation and other services is a huge challenge for its .

COEASU expressed concern that salaries were last increased in Colleges of Education in 2010, when a litre of fuel was between 65 and 70.

It is getting serious by the day

Only staff of govt institutions will want to quickly comply with such directive. They assume Lords over themselves with no regard to FG their employer.

We don't want to later hear stories that touch when FG pays you two-fifth of your salaries too

Hmnn!
It gets harder to defend Tinubu's abrupt subsidy removal and naira floating without his putting any management plan, structures or strategy in place.
When you are pressed, you can use the toilet, a nearby bush or release upon your body as Tinubu did at the Awujale's palace early 2022
For a supposed brilliant strategist, Tinubu has started releasing his ill thought plans and everyone can see through its hollowness
Yet gimmicks and propaganda don't run an economy and the outlook for Nigeria looks grim and dark
Tinubu is no better than the agberos he empowered in Lagos like MC Oluomo as he's just a tax collector
Expect more pain.

We will all stand on his mandate.
Suffering knows no tribe, religion or skin tone.

Trouble in paradise. The results of stealing people's mandate just de show, one by one

Toh

Na for the students to also read twice a week and use the rest to stand on the mandate or farm agbado

This is terrible, to whose detriment, this nemesis is coming so fast. Buhari gave us few years to breath. This Bulaba is choking with reckless abandon from day 1. Abomination!

Thats one of the best decision....

Obidients will soon flood this thread with their joyful hearts and souls. They just love hearing negative news about Nigeria at the moment.

Salary increase will only increase inflation, it's not the solution, labor Unions should come out with better solutions than this please, it's not helping rather will strike help too.
