ABUJA-THE House of
Representatives
Tuesday summoned
the Minister of
Education, Prof.
Ruqayyatu Rufai and
officials of the
Academic Staff Union
of Universities (ASUU)
in other to avert the
impending strike by
the union.
In a motion brought
to the floor of the
House by Rep Bashir
Babale, PDP, Kano,
said that it is
becoming worrisome
that university lecturers
would have to be
embarking on strikes
to force government
meet its obligations on
issues that have been
agreed upon in the
best interest of the
nation’s tertiary
education.
In the interest of the
nation’s education
sector Babale urged
the House to quickly
intervene with a view
to avert the impending
strike which ultimatum
expires in nine days.
Hon Osai Osai (PDP,
Delta) who seconded
the motion said
without proper
education the nation’s
democracy cannot
survive and that if
university education
collapses, it will affect
other sectors in the
nation.
He also said that it is
wrong for the
government to allow
a reminiscent of the
2009 strike which was
called off after the
government reached
an agreement with
ASUU and that the
impending strike is the
failure of the 2009
agreement.
The resolution was
unanimously accepted
when Speaker Aminu
Waziri Tambuwal put it
to vote.source www.vanguardngr.com
