ASUU URGES NIGERIANS NOT TO ALLOW ELECTED LEADERS DESTROY PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has enjoined Nigerians to stop elected leaders that are bent on destroying public universities and wasting the countrys wealth from doing so.

ASUU Chairman at the University of Ibadan, Ayoola Akinwole, during a press conference said that it was never too late for the government to make it an urgent point of duty to solve the problem of university education and not to think that it will just pass away.

Akinwole also advised the Federal Government to immediately declare a state of emergency on the poor condition of public universities to rescue the sector from outright collapse and ensure a bright future of the country.

He added that Nigerians must not fold their arms and keep mute while a few elected leaders, fueled by unreasonable ambitions squander the commonwealth on frivolities.
