A Political practitioner who also happens to be a member of the National Caucus of the ruling party in the land which is the All Progressives Congress APC in the person of Chief Sam Nkire has
called on the Federal Government to consider bringing to its abrupt end the Academic Staff Union of Universities
This disclosure were made known on the basis that the governing body of tertiary institutions across the country ASUU is acting as a road block against the development of university education in Nigeria.
In his media briefing in Abuja, Nkire noted that “for many decades, ASUU had turned itself into a tool for destruction by its frequent strikes which have become a habit, rather than a development partner to the Nigerian university system”.
“I believe our university system can run better without the disruption from ASUU which has turned itself into an employee intent on destroying the company”.
He further went on to state that “it is unacceptable for a group of individuals to gang up to determine whether and when Nigerians go to the university or not. it is the duty of the Federal Government not to allow ASUU or any other workers’ union to bring the government to it’s knees, cripple the economy and shut down the society.”
Nkire further called out on ASUU to take into consideration the various challenges and problems facing the country noting that any form of industrial action should only be to consider the plight of their students.
