ASUU Strike: Ngige has turned this into a personal quarrel – Jega
Former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Attahiru Jega has accused Chris Ngige, minister of labour and employment of creating challenges with the ongoing Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU strike instead of putting out ways to solve it
He said Ngige has turned the issue into a personal dispute with both the Union and the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu
Jega stated this during an interview on Arise TV. He faulted the Minister for registering two breakout factions of ASUU and also trying to proscribe the union
He said; “Unfortunately, right now, the minister of labour is not helping matters. He has turned this into a personal quarrel between him and the minister of education on one hand and between himself and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on the other.
“While many other people are trying to find a way of addressing this situation so that students can go back to school and ASUU can go back to work, he is busy creating challenges.
“He now took the matter to the industrial court, now today, he now registered two unions and he is trying to proscribe ASUU. If this is allowed by this government, I think this is a recipe for disaster and it may really create more problems than it can solve on this matter of strike in the universities.
This government is somehow useless instead of finding lasting solution rather compounding it
President Muhammad Buhari should intervene before getting out of hand, this is conspiracy against students
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…….
