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 .

My advice to all youth corpers is for them to be careful, especially in core north, cos 2011 senerio could happen again if buhari start losing next year.
