The country President, Muhammadu Buhari has expressed displeasure over the ongoing strike by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities .
He described as “ amazing ” the failure of
the lecturers to suspend their eight –
month strike.
President was quoted as saying “ lecturers
had not taken into consideration the
larger challenges facing the country” .
“ Government conceded something . The
problem is that they refused to look at
the problem of the whole country.
“ The Minister of Labour is working hard
at it . It is amazing how ASUU will stay out
of classrooms for so long . There ’ s a need
for our elites to understand the
challenges facing the country, ” the
president added .
ASUU has been on strike since March
2020 over demands for more funding for
public universities and renegotiation of
the 2009 FG / ASUU agreement .
