And Assistant Lecturers. You are hardly given grants for schooling. The state of most classrooms are deplorable, you enter a class with over 2 hundred students and you still not have a public address system so you end up with a terrible headache cos you have shouted all day
Prices of food have gone up, fuel, housing, transportation, in fact we as a country are experiencing a 100% inflation like never before in our economy and university Lecturer’s salaries has not gone up. Big brains and minds do not want to suffer such deplorable
Salaries and environment so they go into tech or leave the country. This is why ASUU is agitating, they are not doing it because They do not want you to graduate but because they are humans who have needs that should be comfortably met with what they earn. Most
Lecturers cannot afford basic amenities and end up collecting loans, to send their children to school or even to feed their families, which should not be so. The Government does not care about the Education sector so this is on them.

@Paula_Gambz
Publication in reputable journals costs 30k ?
Mid level journals in my field charge $350 and above, for top journals you need at least $1,000.
That's why you see like 10 names on a publication, na like crowd funding for publication.
@Paula_Gambz
Are they the only one People in research institute are suffering same faith, same conditions for promotion and their own salary are lower than this. They even teach students for free at least this ones are being paid for it and they also have hazard allowance
@Paula_Gambz
If the salary are way too low there are thousands of PhD holders grappling to get that job. Y'all frustrate the system. You don't get research grants? Lmao... That's the biggest lie I've heard or read today. FG disbursed N8.5bn in 2020, N6bn for just 6 colleges in Nov 2021.
