The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has warned that the stifling of education funding under the Muhammadu Buhari government is preparing the country for a greater future doom.

It stated that the nonchalant attitude of the Buhari-led government to education appears to be the worst in the history of Nigeria with about 7 percent allocation to Education.

Chairman, University of Ibadan branch of ASUU, Dr. Deji Omole, who stated this on Monday in an interview with journalists, noted that the failure to vote enough money to public varsity education is already causing gradual crisis of confrontation between University administration and students in some parts of the country.

Omole said, “It will be difficult to have a citizen that will love the country in the future if the current trend of abandoning the poor while taking care of the rich continues. While each senators is paid N13.5million as running cost per month the same Senate appropriated a paltry sum of N66million for capital projects for University of Ibadan with students population of about 30,000.
“This can only happen where the ruling class lacks vision like Nigeria. This same government refuses to drop a kobo for the revitalization of public universities. Now many children of the masses are denied access because universities cannot admit beyond what the dilapidated infrastructure can take. Yet their parents cannot afford private university. the federal government is owing about N800billion revitalization funds to public varsities as contained in the agreements with ASUU.”
The ASUU, who vowed that the union will oppose any plan to force children of the masses out of school by imposing on them dues that are the duties of federal government, asserted that the ruling APC has performed poorly in Education.

According to him, the United States of America that members of the elite takes their children to funds her public varsities because the USA is interested in bridging the gap between the rich and the poor, and knows the negative implication of having a growing pool of illiterates as we have in Nigeria.
Omole maintained that the Buhari government has paid lip service to public education but prefers to pacify militants and terrorists.
The ASUU chairman stated that while the masses are groaning in hardship, the political class have increased their number and stored enough money taken from the collective patrimony in preparation for the 2019 general elections.

when they had Jonathan they were castigating him but now they can't speak out. Useless country

Everything just tire person

Were you expecting an illiterate brain dead ancestor to improve your educational standard?

Buhari has never been pro education his whole life , During his first stint as military head of state he paid no attention to education sector which the the the beginning of the rot in that sector till date and now he is back to finish it off

What do you expect when buhari presented tissue paper as credentials for presidency? Isn't it obvious he's an ardent follower and adherent of boko haram philosophy that Western education is sin? Enjoy the Chang.

If Goodluck Jonathan was still in power ASUU will by now be on strike. Things considered taboo in the last administration are now tolerated at a worst level under this rudderless govt all because of fear.
Cowards.

Baba no go school nah.

Buhari never had any education(his antecedents confirms this),therefore he doesn't place any premium on education.



You don't expect someone who dislike meat to appreciate meatpie.

This country under president Buhari administration is doomed in all sectors. I fear for a better under his corrupt régime. SNOWPRINCE

ASUU shut up.... We yoruba muslims are in support of anything Buhari does....

Buhari has earmarked $1.3 billion for university... if you are not happy or satisfied, go and protest....

We yoruba Muslims stand with Buhari till 2019, and Igbo President in 2023....

U can't give what u don't have


Shame on those that voted the daura President Buhari

Looking forward to 2019


Please check my signature

Is there any Sector Buhari has really Improved?

Well You cannot Give What You Do Not Have

Education should be a top priority for any country that wants to develop. Nigerian government, take note.

why are they now complaining now?.

Don't worry, education bills are used in funding cows. Sai Baba

How can u expect an illiterate to be interested in education? Dude is already bitter he’s certificateless

God bless GEJ, Nigerians need to pray for forgiveness for all the times they thought he was clueless

A clueless but educated President is way better than a clueless uneducated bigot

It appears this government of APC seem not to have any viable record of achievement, except from sycophants...

APC is truly dead..

Wat did u ppl expect from illiterate Buhari? Wen u were saying "even if na NEPA bill he has as certificate, we'll vote him" were u expecting him to give us Cambridge standard of education? For those ignorant ppl still drumming support for him, I hope u can see wat we'll get when the nepostic senile tyrant assumes position of the GCFR for a 2nd tenure

It will soon be buried by the illiterate President

Sai Baba.

You expect a NEPA bill holder to fund you?
Nigeria will never recover from from this disaster

The British people are class conscious people

And they made sure they taught us that as colonial masters

Now they have seen it's bad and are trying to end it, but Nigeria is worsening their own malaise

One thing is certain: 2019 won't be easy for Buhari

Abokiis hate Western Education - Our present day government is the gathering of abokiis in power.

A president without WAEC


And you are surprise

Sai Buhari .. Man, I wish I could post those videos from 2015 prior to elections..

see the irony, Jonathan estalished more federal university than any govt in the history of Nigeria and funded tertiary institutions massively via TERTFUND but they said he ran a corrupt govt and was clueless. Now, a Saint was elected the story is still being told..........

Please remember the national anthem and pledge and confirm you mean the boldened. That's what they forced us to learn through primary and secondary schools. How come it's different in reality?
