The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Benin Zone, yesterday, accused the Federal Government (FG) of turning a deaf ear to all appeals to meet its demands. And put an end to the ongoing strike by lecturers in the struggle for a better education system. FG shows no interest in your future, ASUU tells students.
He said: The government is governed by ‘rodents’, parasitic elements, who prey on the country’s resources and loot them blindly. While the majority of Nigerians continue to suffer hunger, want, and deprivation.
Nigerians’ access to quality and affordable university education is being subtly but deliberately and steadily denied.
“They choose to meet the timelines and deadlines for politicking and political party activities. To perpetuate their greed and avarice. This remains insensitive to the fact that Nigerian children and students are groaning under the burden of being shut out of school for over two months.
According to the chairman, we have tried to stop the strike but the federal government failed in their assignment.
It was declared today that ASUU has not started the full strike. They are still on their warning strike and they will not call it off until the federal government hears that. Let FG, do what they are supposed to do, Says, ASUU Chairman.
“Rather than treat the Union’s nationalistic call with the urgency and seriousness that it deserves, government representatives continue to toy with the future of our children and students.
