 Academic staff union of universities Ibadon chapter has called on Nigerians to rescue the public universities across the country from total collapse. The call was made at the University of Ibadon by the chapter president Dr Ayola Akimwale. He was addressing journalists at the Lagos the large lecture theater faculty of art University of Ibadon. In his speech Ayola said the four-week strike embarked on by the union since 14 February 2022 is aimed at compelling the federal government to resolve issues but the federal government has turned a deaf ear to its plea. As the chairperson expressed the union's displeasure with the manner at which the federal government is deliberately destroying the public educational system. What government is supposed to do is to look at the document if they are a gray area they will get back to the union but the Nigerian government went to sleep because we don't matter to them. What matters to them is far far more than what matters to the Nigerian public and that's what the public must know. The willingness to do good is not there. The willingness to help the masses is not there. They don't at least all they do is to serve their own pets in office. Ade Mola Airemi a former ASU official urged the federal government to once and for all solve the problems of university education. The union insists that the federal government cannot kill the ghost that lays the golden eggs. That is what they do to us. And our mass MOA was signed on the 23rd of December 2020 so we waited for about 15 months for our group to clear an action over that. So you are going to believe that one of our people who are not here is possible. I mean it's possible by the names of a few. There's nothing I do. And you know that there's not so many students who are possible. We may not be in the same mood. Must we as Nigerians hold our hand and keep mood? Why did a few elected leaders fall down mundane in ordinate ambitions for our common wealth on few votes? If we do nothing and continue on this trajectory, their hope will be no hand to the perpetual misery in our public university. Hello. Hope you enjoyed the news.
