President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has called on the Federal Government to immediately end the strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) that is entering its 62nd day.

In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, Saraki emphasised the need for Nigeria’s universities to be re-opened without further delay, highlighting the fact that the education of Nigeria’s young people is being negatively affected by the stance of the government and is also disenfranchising the youths, many of whom are registered to vote in their universities — but are now stuck in their homes.

“In November 2016, the Senate intervened in the ASUU strike and met with the officials of the Ministries of Education and Labour, Employment and Productivity and the Academic Staff Union of Universities.

“At that meeting, which was attended by the Minister of State for Education Anthony Anwuka and Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Productivity in the National Assembly, we agreed that the Federal Government should work to implement the agreement that it reached with ASUU in 2009, and subsequently, we set up a sub-committee to liaise with both ASUU and the Federal Government on this issue.

“The Federal Government must immediately work to address the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities ( ASUU), because this issue goes beyond negotiations. It is affecting the education of Nigeria’s students, and disenfranchising many of them from participating in the upcoming general elections.

“Make no mistake, we cannot continue this system whereby our universities will be frequently shut down, thereby slowing down the education of our young people — and creating negative bottlenecks that place unnecessary stress on our universities.

“In another vein, our youth make up over 51 percent of registered voters. What does this mean for our electoral process, when young students who are registered to vote in their academic institutions, cannot do so because their schools are shut down? This is unacceptable.

“In this regard, I call on the Federal Government to immediately work on meeting the demands of ASUU and honouring all its prior commitments. On our part, the Senate will continue to work to ensure that Nigeria’s education sector is strengthened — and we are ready and willing to collaborate with both the Federal Government and ASUU to end this strike, and ensure that it does not become a recurrent issue,” Saraki stated.

So unfortunate that the government is paying little to no attention to education, and the so call opposition are fighting or pretending to be fighting only because they feel it may favour them politically

Like for Saraki, Share for FG

They should find a permanent solution please. For how long will we continue to run round in circles.

Is he not part of the FG?

the person above me is an Annelid

Baba why now

At the center of the ASUU strike is FUNDING.

Is Saraki ready to agree to passing a bill that guarantees N1.5 trillion per year for the next 2 years to end the ASUU strike as agreed in 2009?

The truth is....either we find a way to pour in N1 trillion every year for universites....OR ......fees go up.

You cannot get $20000 per annum educaiton at less than $200....

Sorry Saraki, the uneducated illiterate don’t even know the implications of the delayed strike. It’s a pity.

Did buhari go to University?

Resolve it na I think u are president of the senate ole like u Bleep off...Vote PMB

they can only call for emergency meeting when it favours them alone but for the masses ,they keep quite.

ASUU will call-off the strike immediately after election. Our children cannot be used as election instrument or tool for your selfish political interest. It is better they stayed at home til after election.

Saraki, use your sense for once!

haladadon:
Did buhari go to University?

Buhari went to the NDA, , the Command and Staff College,Jaji and the National War College ,USA...and has a string of postgrad qualificaitons as a result.

Even if you doubt...you cannot be an army officer in Nigeria without passing through NDA. Not since the 1960's.

GEJ who went to unviersity faced two ASUU strikes, as did Yaradua. Atiku went to college for OND.

The reason why we keep having strikes is because government cannot afford N1.1 trillion (formerly 3 trillion ) in extra funding for universities. GEj could not afford it...and he ran a 'prosperous economy'

Yes !
Politicize it...
Perhaps they'd listen that way.

Scammer

Ode .. minimum wage is there ... nothing has been done.a about it.. you are saying another thing...oponu

or what? thats right you cant do nothing. you are just playing to the gallery. An effective senate and its president would have long since impeached the president. but your head is so deep in looting and awarding yourselves 13 million naira salaries that you have lost your powers over the executive. please keep quiet!

na them know, the wont bother because their children no dey naija.
Children are our heritage!!!!! they are our future, that is why we need to invest into them.
do you require the services of a private maths tutor? english tutor?
do you need a tutor to prepare your child for common entrance examination?
do you want to prepare your child for any examination?
then

IT WILL NEVER BE WELL WITH SA AND HIS SUPPORTERS

SO, SA IS NOT PART OF THE FED GOVT, HE HIS LOCAL GOVT NOW
