HISTORY OF ASUU STRIKE IN NIGERIA__
The Nigerian undergraduates in Universities across the country have lost at least 13 months from their academic calendar under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Academic Staff Union Of Universities (ASUU), embarked on another strike which will last for four week as warning to Federal government.

ASUU is a union that aims to satisfy the welfare and interest of its members within the framework of promoting the cause of university education of Nigerians in Nigeria.

The union always has frequent conversations and meetings with the government to discuss their demands, needs and set conditions. Whenever these conditions are not met, they proceed on a warning strike and then indefinite strike.

As stated from Daily Trust the first ASUU strike occurred in 1999 under the Obasanjo-Atiku administration, after the end of the military era. The strike lasted for five months.

The timeline of the ASUU strike under the Buhari administration are as follows:

Buhari won the election under the All Progressives Congress (APC) and was sworn into office on May 29, 2015.
The first ASUU strike under his administration was on August 17, 2017. This was as a result of the default from the government after they had signed an MOU with the union.
Out of the N1.3trn requested, only N200bn was paid, which caused the association to embark on a one-week warning strike in November 2016 to press for their funds. The strike ended in September 2017.
The second ASUU strike started on November 4, 2018, which lasted till February 7, 2019, making it a total of 95 days. This was also as a result of the outstanding issues between the FGN and ASUU as regards the 2009 agreement and the MoU of 2013.
The third ASUU strike commenced on March 23, 2020. The indefinite strike started the same week President Muhammadu Buhari imposed the lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic that was ongoing. The strike lasted for 9 months.

You see, most people don't realize how medicine and surgery is until they experience it themselves.
In my recent posts I didn't told u the academics that go with it, I didn't tell you anything about the responsibilities that flow with it....

Do you want to talk about the lectures (from 8am-6pm everyday, no break, sometimes some profs can hold lectures at 10pm, and you won't say crap) the practicals (during preclinical) and the ward rounds/clinics (during clinical)....

What of the crazy exams, answering 800 objective questions in 3hrs, then coming back that same day to answer all 17essay questions..... Even before that, you write exams nearly every month.....

A LUCID ARTICLE FOR MEDICS TO GET THEIR BELT TIGHT..
First of all, admission into the university to study medicine is really a Big deal. According to enquiries only 1.6% of people who apply to study medicine yearly get admitted.
The second barrier is moving from 100l to 200l in the college of medicine, this is another challenge in most schools in Nigeria as the student are required to pass all their courses (@ least 50%) to cross over. Many student's ambition have been cut off at this stage especially in abu as the pass rate for last yr was just 40%.
The 3rd barrier is passing the 300l professional second mb exam which has proved to be the toughest stage as students only have 18 months to learn basic medical science courses such as anatomy, physiology and biochemistry. It's just like Learning all the biology, physics and Chemistry you learnt in secondary school in 18 months with rigorous practical classes and all students are required to pass all courses with at least 50%. Student who performed excellently well (above 70%)are rewarded with a distinction, although it's could be as rare as just 5% of the students+dr mjb.
The next step is passing the 3rd MBBS exam which You'll do Harder courses like pharmacology, pathology, microbiology and You'll also be introduced to some Clinical courses also like paediatrics, Gynecology, obstetrics, orthopaedics etc
The final steps include the Clinical stages where You'll write your 4th and 5th exams. With successful candidates being rewarded with the MBBS degree and will require to complete a one year housemanship and also nysc service.

But, with consistent handwork and study habit. Anyone can be a doctor, thanks.
