ASUU hints about continuation of strike, blames FG for situation

The President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, has stated that nothing progressive has emerged to see an end to the warning strike embarked upon by the body.

Prof. Osodeke, who was a guest on Channels Television’s show, Sunrise Daily, on Sunday, March 13, expressed his disappointment at the state of affairs and the government’s inability to fulfill the promises it made two years ago.

The ASUU’s strike which is in its fourth week has been hinged on the union’s demands on the revitalization of public universities, earned academic allowances, renegotiation of the 2009 ASUU-FGN agreement, and inconsistencies in the Integrated Payroll and Personnel information system.

“I can assure you nothing tangible has happened, nothing visible; nothing you can say has been done,” the ASUU president said during the breakfast show.

“We have met with the Minister of Labour twice and all they are saying is the same old promises that they have been talking about.”

The ASUU president bemoaned what he called the government’s “lack of interest and will” in the public university system as their demands can be settled in a meeting between both parties.

“We met with the President on 1st of February and raised this issue with the President and the President promised to address it and he appointed a three or four-man committee to look at it; the Chief of Staff, Minister of Labour and Minister of Education and the Minister of Finance, it was all over the country and till today that committee has not called us for a meeting,” he explained.

According to Prof. Osodeke, the ongoing discord over the choice of Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, IPPIS, proposed by the government and the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) platform developed by the university lecturers was due to the lack of transparency.

“When you have dishonesty in the system, you have those problems; we listened to the report by National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), that it didn’t pass the test but I came with documentation to show their report.

“If a program is subjected to a test and it scores 77% would you say it failed? If a program is passed through an end-user test and it scores 88%, would you say it failed?

“Let NITDA and the Federal Government tell the Nigerian people whether they have tested IPPIS,” he said.

Dissemination Workshop on Rural WASH Pilot Project by PRUWASSA in Jos

Plateau State Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency (PRUWASSA) has organized a workshop put in place to disseminate the report of the World Bank supported Rural WASH pilot project in Plateau State. The workshop featured stake holders from various communities: district heads, Directors “WASH” from all the 17 Local Government Areas of Plateau State.

Speaking at the event, General Manager, Plateau Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency (PRUWASSA), Engr. Peter Kassam noted that the project which is the first of its kind employed the use of remote sensing technology to track functionality of water facilities in both urban and rural areas of Plateau State. This system promises to eliminate challenges posed by the old approaches used in monitoring WASH interventions.

The purpose of the project was to enhance the sustainability of rural water services by leveraging innovative technology which captures real-time data from sensors installed on a sample of water points in selected communities of Plateau State. It is expected that the outcome of the study which was disseminated today, would be used in making decisions from informed perspective.

The project was contracted to Sweetsence Company as an International partner and WaterAid Nigeria was brought in as a Local NGO. But constrained by the COVID-19 pandemic which led to the imposition restrictions on international travels, Sweetsence handed over the entire process to WaterAid, with Plateau Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency as an Implementing Agency. Its worthy to note that the Pilot project in Plateau State, Nigeria is the second in Africa after Kenyan and 3rd in the World after Colarado (USA) as of 2019. Recently Ethiopia has been added to the number.

WaterAid Nigeria and PRUWASSA Staff were both trained on the technicalities of Sensor installations and Mwater inventory. The sensor installations commenced in late 2020 and ended in early 2021. A total of 400 water facilities were identified in the 17 LGAs and Sensors were installed in 200 out of the 400 facilities. The remaining 200 were used as control, to compare the rates of functionality by phone calls to establish the ground truth.

Emmanuel Iorkumbur, Planning Monitoring and Evaluation Manager WaterAid Nigeria Stated that the Government and all stake holders should key in to ensure that the water facilities in rural communities are well managed and maintained for people to have a stable and reliable source of water supply. Mr Emmanuel also stated some challenges encounter during this project, challenges like vandalism, stolen accessories/gadgets and mechanical failure. Some of these challenges lead to disruption of the functionality of the facilities.
