Muslim Students Criticise Buhari Over NASU Strike by Solomonudofia(m): 11:24am On Feb 25, 2018
The Muslim Students Society of Nigeria, MSSN has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari for his alleged silence about the university workers strike.

The university workers comprising of the Non-Academic Staff Union, National Association of Academic Technologists and Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities have been on strike since Monday, December 4, 2017.

The workers’ strike has led to the disruption of academic activities in some Federal Universities as the non-teaching staff inactivity affect university operations.

However, in a statement released by its president, Dr Saheed Ashafa, the Muslim students’ group accused the presidency of ignoring the workers.

The statement reads in part:

“The presidency is not giving priority to the strike action and it is sending a bad perception about this administration.

“In the first place, the strike is avoidable and needless. It is unpalatable to the hearing that a country like Nigeria still pays low attention to workers’ welfare.

“The poor attention and undue silence of the Federal Government over the ongoing strike embarked upon by members of NASU, SSANU and NAAT are condemnable and highly demoralizing.

It is understandable that children of majority of those leading the education agencies and ministries that should engage the striking workers are studying abroad, but that should not mean that the sons and daughters of the Nigerian masses should be made to suffer for developing interest in education”

Muslim students say Nigerian universities now smell and stink

The Muslim students also condemned the state of the ongoing workers strike has reduced the affected universities to saying students now live on campus like they are in a jungle.


“As we speak, some of our universities smell and stink, others have their libraries, health centres, powerhouses and other strategic facilities shut down. Students now live on university campuses like they are in the jungle.

“This is pathetic and must be urgently addressed. We will not get the best from our workers if we continue to treat them like slaves; their commitment to work will be vacuous.

It would be recalled that in December 2017, the Muslim student group criticised Nigerian ruling class and warned them of the impending death of the country at their Islamic Vacation Course (IVC) which held in Epe, Lagos.

Watch them hit back at you with half cooked excuses on how the government has done very well for the universities,instead of sitting down to look for viable ways to address the issues raised.
Propaganda works only in words, when actions speaks louder than words.
