ASUU Strike ; Asyf Appeals To Federal Government by afo2015: 1:02pm On Aug 17, 2017 |
ASUU STRIKE ; ASYF APPEALS TO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT A non political forum, ASIWAJU STUDENTS/YOUTHS (ASYF) has described the latest industrial action embarked upon by Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) as a big blow to Nigeria Students and Education at large. According to the statement released on the Forum's Facebook page by the Convener, Comrade Oludaisi Afolabi which reads; "It is so unfortunate that Nigeria’s educational system is collapsing day by day as a result of the ‘connivance’ between the Federal Government and Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). I said ‘connivance’ because the government is responsible for the terrible state of education in the country, but ASUU has also not helped matters with its frequent strikes. There was even a time when students were jokingly asking that which ‘strikes’ the most between ASUU and thunder. Therefore, the current strike which members of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) have embarked upon is not in the best interest of university education in the country,even to the students. At a time when Nigerian students are finding succour in foreign universities, which is resulting into over $1billion annually in capital flight from the country through tuition payment, ASUU is making things worse in the education system by embarking on another strike. The truth must be told, Nigerian students and Nigerians in general, are tired of the ‘annual’ ASUU strike. unfortunately, it has reached a situation whereby nobody seems to be concerned when the union declares a strike to press home its demands. ASUU members should note that the political office holders who administer education in this country do not have their children in these public universities. So the frequent ASUU strikes are only at the detriment of the children of the masses,just the common masses. We shouldn’t forget that these are youths who are so technologically and socially advanced, and when they have nothing doing, they will find themselves in illegal acts to keep themselves engaged. This sums up the saying that an idle hand is the devil’s workshop. After several negotiations, promises of money will follow on the part of the Federal Government and the strike will be called-off. Who then loses in this scenario? It is the students who lose and the education system. What are we projecting to the international community as far as tertiary education is concerned in Nigeria? Finally, on behalf of millions Nigerian Students, I am appealing to the Federal Government specially to intervene and ensure a lasting solution to the lingering disagreements between herself and Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) because children of the masses who attend these public universities are kept at home doing nothing. Quick Resolution we demands for. God Bless Nigeria.
