There Is Clear Hardship By Your Poor Governance – Nigerian Universities Staff SSANU Knocks Tinubu Over Arrest Of Peaceful Protesters

The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has condemned the government's crackdown on peaceful protesters, labelling the actions as "barbaric and undemocratic."

The SSANU emphasised that peaceful protest was a fundamental right of citizens worldwide and should be respected by authorities.

The association also raised concerns about the conduct of various law enforcement agencies, particularly the Nigerian police, accusing them of suppressing peaceful demonstrations.

SSANU argued that such heavy-handed tactics not only violated citizens' rights but also escalated tensions within the country.

In a communiqué issued at the conclusion of its 49th National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Abuja, SSANU President, Mohammed Ibrahim, criticised the Bola Tinubu-led government's actions against peaceful protests.

He stated, “Nowhere in the world, particularly in democratic settings, do governments use their agencies to suppress genuine and peaceful protests by citizens, especially when there is clear hardship caused by poor governance.”

Ibrahim explained the Nigerian Police's treatment of of the t Action Committee (JAC) of SSANU and NASU during their peaceful protest in Abuja.

He noted that the protesters faced harassment and intimidation at their gathering point, the Unity Fountain.

The NEC also condemned the unnecessary arrests and even killings of peaceful protesters who were demonstrating against bad governance in the country.

It expressed concern over the brutality exhibited by Nigerian law enforcement agencies, particularly the police, towards protesters, even those who had obtained prior permission from the authorities.

The NEC urged law enforcement agencies, especially the police, to abandon such barbaric and anti-democratic practices and to carry out their duties with professionalism to avoid exacerbating the already tense situation in the country.

The association also called on the Federal Government to pay its the earned allowances, pointing out that N50 billion was allocated for this purpose in the 2023 budget.

Addressing the new policy recently announced by the Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, which sets 18 as the minimum age for ission eligibility starting in 2025, SSANU expressed its disapproval.

“The NEC s other critical stakeholders in the education sector in condemning the Federal Government’s decision to set the age limit for writing the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE) and ission into tertiary institutions at 18,” the communiqué stated.

"The majority of stakeholders believe this policy would hinder the progress of the education sector."

Reacting to Prof. Mamman’s comments that starting in 2025, only candidates aged 18 and above would be allowed to take the SSCE and JAMB exams, the NEC urged the government to conduct thorough consultations as promised to prevent potential crises in the education sector.

That SSANU as a group could put out this poorly information filled silly articles shows how rotten our system might be

Every sane person knows why were are in this and that we will soon be off this shiii in the next 2-3years

Tinubu should send DSS to arrest these university workers complaining

All of them should be charged with treason.
How dare you criticize Jagaban

Tribalism is the bane of Nigeria problems

Exercise patient. Everything would become better soon.

Tinubu

Dear Jagaban lovers,

What is the progress update on Tinubu’s eight point agenda he promised Nigerians in 2023? This is over one year now. How far?

1. food security;
2. poverty eradication;
3. growth,
4. job creation;
5. access to capital;
6. inclusion;
7. rule of law; and
8. fighting corruption

What about the 50 million jobs promised between 2023 to 2026? How many has Tinubu and his government created?

More like telling a pregnant woman she is pregnant. ..she knows she is pregnant..It’s obvious to even Tinubu himself that he is a total failure. Never imagined in my wildest imagination anybody in Africa would be worse than buhari

y'all said the same about buhari🙄

I'm shocked people actually thought Tinubu had something to offer

That's the real shocked

The choices in the last election was clear and easy very simple

Would Obi be the saviour probably not... But

He would have been able to us
He had a good name/image to protect

Accuse Tinubu of corruption he is used to it... Acuse obi of corruption and watch him do 90 interviews to clear his name

Never elevt a man who is not scared of being called corrupt

If Atiku ever becomes president, Tinubu will goto jail; even if he’s 99years at that time.

ASUU should kindly strike by next week cos I am hopeful their meeting will end in deadlock. Abeg the hardship too much, make person hustle as school fees and things don increase. The holiday is very short.

Obi would have triggered another civil war in Nigeria if he won
