ASUU Strike Will Have Serious Impact On Preparations For 2019 Elections – INEC by deboysben(m): 3:33pm On Dec 20, 2018 |
The Independent National Electoral Commission on Thursday raised fresh fears that the ongoing face - off between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities could be a serious threat to the 2019 general elections . The commission also stressed that it would deploy over one million ad - hoc staff made up of lecturers in federal tertiary institutions, including ASUU , members of the National Youth Service Corps and students of federal tertiary institutions. The categories of ad - hoc staff to be used during next year ’ s election would serve as Returning Officers , Collation Officers , Supervisory Presiding Officers , and Assistant Presiding Officers . A National Commissioner for INEC and chairman of its Information and other Education Committee, Festus Okoye, raised these issues during the opening ceremony of a one - day seminar on media gender - sensitive reporting . The event was organised by INEC and supported by United Nations Women and Canadian government . Okoye said , “ It is next to impossibility for members of the NYSC to provide all the ad - hoc staff needs and requirements of the commission and over 70 per cent of the ad - hoc staff requirement in some states of the federation are drawn from students of federal tertiary institutions. “ Hence , the lingering strike by ASUU will no doubt have a serious impact on the preparations for the conduct of the 2019 elections . We , therefore , call on ASUU and the Federal Government of Nigeria to quickly and genuinely resolve the lingering impasse that has led to uncertainty in the education sector . “ The national interest, the interest of our democracy and the reputation of Nigeria demands the immediate resolution of the issues that led to the strike and we so urge . “ It is important that students in federal tertiary institutions should and must be in school at least a month before the February 16 Presidential and National Assembly elections . They are a critical resource and their absence will have adverse effects on the ad - hoc requirements of INEC . https://punchng.com/ASUU-strike-will-have-serious-impact-on-preparations-for-2019-elections-inec/ Cc:Lalasticlala Mynd44 1 Share
