FG, Please Dialogue with ASUU to End This Strike
The higher institution is the brain box of every nation. One cannot state categorically how a nation can function with its education sector in devastation. It is quite unfortunate that education is taken for granted in this part of the world as many do not value it. Only a few are long sighted while others remain myopic about the dividends of education. For this reason many would rather introduce handwork to their wards rather than send them to school as they believe it is a waste of time and resources.
This is the reason why parents always tell their wards to come home when there is a strike instead of telling them to fight for their right. The present ASUU strike is a perfect example of this instance. Some students did not even wait for the strike to be announced officially before they started going home and when you ask them why they are going on such a short notice, they tell you that their parents have ordered them to come home. This is very discouraging especially in a developing country like ours.
This present ASUU strike has rendered students idle and jobless. We Nigerian students are not happy as we stay at home doing absolutely nothing except hope that the strike be called off and we return to school once again.
According to a bulletin I saw at the Kashim Ibrahim Library of Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, the strike was embarked upon because the federal government did no fulfil the promises made to ASUU in 2009.
We all know that the government has serious issues of corruption, embezzlement, and insecurity to tackle; we are appealing to the government to please dialogue with ASUU for the strike to be called off.
