ASUU: Return to classroom – Buhari begs University lecturers
President Muhammadu Buhari has continued to appeal to the striking members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities to return to the classroom
He made the appeal during his address to the nation to mark the 62nd Independence Day anniversary on Saturday.
He said the administration has continued to make appreciable progress to tackle issues that have been lingering for the past 11 years even with it’s scarce resources
He said ” I’m using this independence Day celebration to reiterate my call for the striking Academic Staff Union of Universities to return to the classroom while assuring them to deal with their contending issues within the limits of the scarce resources available.
“This administration has made appreciable progress in redressing these issues that have been lingering for over 11 years “.
“The federal government will continue to mobilize resources both internationally and nationally towards funding education to ensure that our citizens are well educated and secured in various vocations in view of the fact that education is a leading determinant of economic growth.
It is no longer news that Nigerian university lecturers have been on strike since Feb.14 over unresolved issues with the Federal Government.
that is what you have done a long time ago………
Are we going to continue begging them always without any tangible solution to the problem, that’s bad
I hope they will consider the plight of those students not because of the government, they should make tangible promise without mincing words
