ASSU TO CALL OFF STRIKE
~1.7 mins read
Emmanuel Osodeke, ASUU president, spoke on Monday during an interview with Channels Television.

ASUU has been on strike since February 14 over government’s failure to implement its demands on salaries and allowances of lecturers, improved funding for universities as well as the adoption of UTAS against the federal government’s preferred payment platform — Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).

As of Tuesday, the strike embarked by ASUU has entered 183 days – a development that has led to frustration for students, parents and other stakeholders.

Speaking on Monday, the ASUU president said the federal government invited the union for a meeting on Tuesday on the issue of renegotiation.

Osodeke said ASUU will suspend the strike, if the federal government agrees to its demands at today’s meeting.

“We have not had any serious communication though they have invited us for a meeting on one issue, tomorrow (referring to Tuesday), which is the issue of renegotiation,” he said.

“You know that there are seven issues why we are on strike. They are inviting for discussion on issue of renegotiation, tomorrow, which is renegotiation of the 2009 agreement.

“The issues of IPPIS and UTAS has been put to rest because the test has been done and it has been agreed with the chief of staff, UTAS will be implemented to cover the university.

“Two, if this government is serious, this strike will not last more than two weeks. If you recall we were going to suppose to go on strike in November, we didn’t start it because NIREC came in and intervened. We conceded to them.

‘’They met with the president, he set up a committee headed by the chief of staff that should resolve this quickly, the world saw it in the press, they did nothing. The president set up the Munzali committee, we met them , nothing, they didn’t come back.

“They set up the Nimi Briggs committee, it’s now more than three months, two months we finished negotiating with them, they didn’t come back. The president directed the Ministry of Education to finish within two weeks, two weeks has passed, they didn’t come back.

“If we go into that meeting tomorrow and government say what we have negotiated, we are willing to sign, the strike will be called off.”

The Only School In Africa Where Boys Strictly Wear Skirts As School Uniform
~1.1 mins read
The appearance of male students at a school in Uganda wearing skirts as part of the required attire sparked discussions on social media. People have been wondering why male students at Nyakasura School, a mixed boarding and day high school in Uganda's Western region, are wearing skirts against the norm.

The school was founded in 1926 by a Scottish missionary called Lieutenant-Commander Ernest William Eborhard Calwell Following this, Nyakasura School adopted the uniform as the school Scottish missionary Calwell was from Scotland and wanted to influence them.

The school principal has however come out to clear the air around the conversation, saying that people are misapprehensions the concept behind their school attire. He said that the skirt-like attire is actually a kilt, a traditional attire worn by Scottish men.

Mr Manyindo emphasized the students’ love for their uniforms so much because it makes them unique despite the mockery from the community. Being a mixed school , many people claim they find it hard to differentiate between boys and girls when visiting the school for the first time.
The majority indicated that they are always insulted and criticized by students from other schools for wearing ‘girls’ uniform , but to them, there is nothing wrong with the attire.

As a Ghanaian can you wear skirt to school and why are they still adopting Scottish culture after many years of independence. Why is Africa still not totally free from their colonials after gaining independence they still practice another man's culture in their country.
