Not Again: NEC ASUU Meeting to hold this Friday, 22 November, 2013? Just some few hours ago, the union leader of university of Ibadan, Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye has claimed that there was no plan for NEC meeting until the Union has mourn the late Prof. Festus Iyayi for 7 days. And another news emanating from daily independent newspaper (online) has it that the NEC meeting will be holding this friday. We are not sure what to believe again, and we definitely don’t care… The only thing we are interested to hear is that the ASUU Strike has been called off! Please note, this might be another rumour, or the Federal Government and Academic Staff Union of Universities will lie that the phone interview with daily independent is fake. Well, since the ‘top official preferred to remain anonymous. then i and www.nigeriaschool.com.ng don’t trust this news. Remember, take this with a pinch of salt (pinch of salt? is the English correct?) News Disclaimer: The news you are about to read is officially published at http:// dailyindependentnig.com and we are re- publishing part of it here for the benefit of the Nigerian Students. The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) may hold its postponed National Executive Council (NEC) meeting on Friday to decide whether or not to suspend the indefinite strike it began since July 2. A top official of ASUU, who preferred anonymity, disclosed this to our corespondent via a telephone interview on Sunday. He was, however, not certain if the NEC will still be held at the Bayero University, Kano where it was initially proposed to hold. The leadership of the union postponed the scheduled Kano NEC meeting following the demise of one its key members, Festus Iyayi, who died last Tuesday in a ghastly motor accident on his way to Kano for the postponed NEC meeting. The source noted that the union members are still grieved and are pre- occupied with the burial arrangement of the late Professor of Business Administration, who died along the Abuja- Lokoja highway in an accident caused by the convoy of Kogi State Governor, Idris Wada. The source debunked speculations in the social media that ASUU has jettisoned its NEC indefinitely, saying the union postponed the NEC meeting as a mark of honour and respect for the late Iyayi. According to him, all ASUU officials that were supposed to participate in the NEC meeting last week Wednesday had actually gathered at the Bayero University, Kano, but for the unfortunate accident which claimed the life of Iyayi and disrupted the agenda already set for the meeting. Meanwhile, Supervisory Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, also at the weekend led a delegation of government on a condolence visit to the residence of the late academician in Benin City. Wike assured that the Federal Government would diligently implement all the agreements it reached with ASUU in the course of the negotiations with President Goodluck Jonathan. Those in the delegation of the minister include Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Julius Okojie, and some top officials of Federal Ministry of Education. They also visited the injured ASUU National Welfare Officer, Ngozi Iloh, who is said to be responding to treatment at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin. In a statement in Abuja on Sunday, the Minister’s Special Assistant (Media), Simeon Nwakaudu, said Wike solicited the permission of the family to allow the Federal Government participate in the burial ceremony of the former ASUU president. “President Goodluck Jonathan and the entire administration are deeply pained by the sudden death of the former ASUU National President who played a key part in the negotiations between ASUU and the Federal Government. “We recall the significant contributions of Professor Iyayi during the 13-hour negotiations between President Jonathan and ASUU, which led to a headway in the discussions. “I want to assure the family that the ideals that the late scholar fought and died for will never be forgotten. The Federal Government will diligently implement the decisions reached in the course of negotiations with ASUU. “The Federal Ministry of Education wishes to be a part of the burial of this erudite scholar and we seek the permission of the family to participate in the burial. I pray God to grant the family the strength to bear this unfortunate loss,” Wike was quoted to have said. Oriabure Iyayi, son of the late ASUU president, was said to have thanked President Jonathan, the Minister of Education and all Nigerians for commiserating with the family at their moment of grief. A relative of the deceased, Prof. Robert Ebiwele, informed the minister that the burial will hold between December 5 and 9. He assured that the family would inform the Federal Ministry of Education on the burial arrangements.
HOW TO FUTURE PROOF YOUR CAREER.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has given three conditions to be tabled before President Goodluck Jonathan today. If the terms are acceptable to the Federal Government, the union will call off the strike.The ASUU leadership has banned its local chapters and zonal chairmen from talking to the media until after the session with the President.ASUU President Dr. Nasir IssaFagge and other leaders of the union were being expected in Abuja last night.According to a source, who was part of the ASUU session at Mambayya House in Kano, the conditions are:•Commitment from the President that any review or reconsideration or renegotiation of the 2009 Agreement will not substantially affect the pact which is the cause of the ongoing strike;•Immediate payment of all outstanding salary arrears and allowances of varsity teachers without victimization; and•A written commitment from the President that the FederalGovernment will commit N225billion annually to the funding of universities for thenext four years.There is a fourth condition, which is said to be “personal”to ASUU, bordering on the need to be wary of gradual loss of public sympathy.The union leaders were said to have recognised public goodwill for the strike and theneed to avert any action that could erode such confidence.The source said: “Our leadersare meeting with the President on Monday to tablethese conditions. Once the President accepts these threeterms, the strike will be calledoff.“In principle, members voted about 60-40 per cent to call off the strike, but they added a caveat – that ASUU leaders should extract a commitment(signed and sealed) from the President.The union is said to have insisted on the three conditions because during talks with the Federal Government, it was apparent that the government wanted arenegotiation of the 2009 Agreement.“If ASUU had accepted to renegotiate the entire Agreement , it means there will be no basis for the ongoing strike. The worst thatcan happen is either having the abridged version of the 2009 Agreement or a phased implementation of the document,” the source added.The Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), Ondo State became at the weekend the third institution to break ranks withthe striking union.It asked its students to return to the campus today. Lecture are to start on December 2, according to the Registrar, Mr. Bamidele Olotu.Enugu State University of Technology (ESUT), Enugu, and the Ibrahim Badamosi University, Lapai, in Niger State had earlier directed the reopening of the schools.The registrar directed students to begin their registration on the school portal immediately.AAUA Student Union President Julius Adeniyi welcomed the resumption plan and assured his fellow students of a hitch-free semester.He said: “We are dying and wasting away our time at home; and I am backing my Vice Chancellor on the resumption date. We are coming in and nothing will happen.”http://www.nigerianeye.com/2013/11/latest-on-strike-ASUU-gives-three.html

So may people, students to be precise find it cumbersome and hectic to recollect what they readand I have come up to educate and enlighten us students on the easy strategy that may be employed to recall some of the data we thought wehave sent to our cerebrum. Below are some tested and proved methods1. Use the SQ3R formula( you may wish or want to knw about the formula.2.Always know or have it at the back of your mind that the brain can trap any and all the information you wish it to trap3.Make your reading interesting. Most students read because they always get this constant advice from tutors"make sure you read your books" but aren't making their reading interest(you may also wish to know how to make reading a worth-while stuff)
