source: https://www.schoolwatchdog.com.ng/2020/11/ASUU-children-of-politicians-should-be.html The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has called for a law placing restriction on public office holders from sending their children to foreign countries to study. This was disclosed in a statement by the Akure zonal Coordinator of ASUU, Prof. Olufayo Olu-Olu. Olu-Olu said such ban would put an end the persistent strike in Nigeria’s education sector, as he also explained that if such a law is made, it would help to rebuild Nigeria’s education sector. According to the statement by Olu-Olu “Members of the ruling class and their cohorts have their wards schooling abroad, so they do not commit to ending ASUU strike since the political office has become occupational rather than public service. “Until we domesticate two very important practices as laws in Nigeria, we may not get out of this doldrums -first, an act to compel all public office holders and government appointees to have their wards educated in Nigeria public schools from primary to tertiary level. “When this law is enacted, perhaps we will gradually see the end of needless ASUU strikes in the country.” The federal government have failed to meet ASUU's demand for about eight months despite the series of meetings. ASUU had vowed to continue with the strike until all demands are met, However, ASUU zonal branches would meet by Friday to decide if they would call off or continue the strike.
