Last 8 Months of ASUU Strike is a wasted Period – Atiku Abubakar

Last 8 Months of ASUU Strike is a wasted Period – Atiku Abubakar

PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar Said:

The last eight months have been a wasted period as far as Nigeria’s higher education and the accrual benefits are concerned.

It is a relief for everyone concerned that the ASUU strike action has been “conditionally” called off. Now is a time for reflection and the charting of a new course that will prioritise education as a critical driver of national growth and development.

It is not negotiable that requisite investment must be channelled into education. And for the organised teachers, they need to understand and appreciate that the constant disruption to the university calendar is damaging to the spirit of scholarship.

Even though the strike action has dragged on for too long, I am thankful to ASUU for suspending the strike and urge the federal government to fulfil its terms of the bargain to ensure that students of higher institutions of learning and their parents do not go through this ordeal again.
