Abuja – The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence
Corps (NSCDC) on Thursday began seven days
fasting and prayer for an end to the lingering
Academic Staff of Union of Nigerian Universities
(ASUU) strike.
This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja
and signed by the Public Relations Officer of the
corps, Mr Emmanuel Okeh.
The statement said that Dr Ade Abolurin, the
Commandant General of the corps, directed the
officers and personnel of the corps nationwide, to
embark on the exercise.
It said the corps embarked on the exercise to
seek God’s intervention following the deadlock in
the talks between the Federal Government and the
striking university teachers aimed at resolving the
issue.
“Worried by the ongoing strike embarked upon by
the ASUU, which has resulted in the shutdown of
universities since July this year, NSCDC
Commandant General has organised a special
prayer for the nation.
“ The CG has declared seven days fasting and
prayers nationwide to seek an ultimate solution to
the problem,’’ it said.
The statement said the move was borne out of
the desire by Nigerians to see an end to the
strike.
It quoted Abolurin, as noting that the inability of
stakeholders to come to an agreement in
resolving the four months old strike was an
indication that divine intervention was the only
solution to the problem.
“While lauding the effort of the government and
its unwavering commitment to end the impasse,
Abolurin said the nation should not underestimate
the power of prayers at critical moments.
“We should not be ignorant of the devices of the
devil whose mission is to steal, kill and destroy;
but through prayer and fasting, the glory of this
nation shall be sustained and the much needed
success achieved,’’ the statement said.
It said that stakeholders, including parents,
guardians, government officials, the striking
teachers, students, religious leaders and opinion
leaders should pray for an end to the problem.
The statement said that the continuous stay of
students at home had made them vulnerable to
negative vices which “portend danger to the
future leaders’’.
It also appealed to the National Union of Teacher
(NUT) to rescind its decision to embark on a
sympathy strike, saying that this would further
plunge the education sector into an unnecessary
and avoidable catastrophe. (NAN)
