A public affairs analyst, Chima Nnaji, on Wednesday lambasted both ASUU and the Federal Government of Nigeria, saying ‘they have fallen short of Nigeria’s glory’.
Speaking on Sunrise Daily on Wednesday, Mr Nnaji said that neither ASUU nor the government could be praised in the circumstance which led to the prolonged strike.
“We don’t have strategic thinkers in government and that’s why we even had this problem degenerate this way, he said, and added that “we have more of doers than thinkers.”
He commended the fight for the improvement of educational sector but described strike as the last resort used by those who are “less developed in terms of cerebral content”.
According to Mr Nnaji, social scientists as well as those in the faculty of law should be able to advice on some of the social factors that can be put in place to get the government to listen.
He said that ASUU had been infiltrated by persons who are not of intellectual or moral standard. “They are neither good in the classroom nor good in their conduct.”
Government must do everything possible to get the crisis sorted out while members of ASUU should do some soul searching and house cleaning.
On the issue of insecurity in the northern part of Nigeria, Mr Nnaji pointed out that there had not been any study on Boko Haram, or the social factors that may have given rise to the insurgency, by the academic community
