STRIKE: WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF LECTURERS DON’T RESUME – FG
The Federal Government has pleaded with the Academic Staff Union
of Universities (ASUU) to make a sacrifice and suspend its ongoing industrial
action so that students won’t be used for political thuggery.
The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Labour and
Employment, Mrs Ibukun Odusote, who has been at the centre of the efforts to
resolve the crisis, appealed to members of ASUU to make some sacrifices as
parents to secure the future of Nigeria children.
Odusote made the appeal while addressing the delegates of the
African Students Union Parliament (ASUP), led by its Speaker, Kewul Abel, in
Abuja on Tuesday.
“I am appealing to ASUU members, who are also parents, that there
are some sacrifices that some people have to make so that the future of our
children can be secured.
“If our children are sitting at home at a critical time like this,
with the year coming to an end, and the nation preparing for a national
election. The tendencies that they will start running into political groups for
vices engagement are high.
“Therefore, it is in the national interest that the on-going
industrial action embarked upon by ASUU be amicably resolved through social
dialogue for our children to continue their educational pursuit,” the Permanent
Secretary said.
