ASUU Str#ke: Enough is enough — President Buhari
President Buhari has declared "enough is enough" and has urged Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) members to end their five-month str#ke.
He made his statement on Monday, July 11 while hosting APC governors at his house in Daura, Katsina state.
According to the President, the leadership of ASUU should reconsider their position on the continued str#ke, expressing worry that it would have generational consequences on families, the educational system and future development of the country.
The President claimed that the str#ke had already had an impact on the psychology of guardians, students, and other interested parties while causing numerous moral issues that urgently needed attention.
He said, “We hope that ASUU will sympathise with the people on the prolonged strike. Truly, enough is enough for keeping students at home. Don’t hurt the next generation for goodness sake.
Colonial type education was geared towards producing workers in government. Those jobs are no longer there. Our young people should get education to prepare them for self-employment. Now education is for the sake of education.
Through technology we are much more efficient. We should encourage our children to get education, not only to look for government jobs.
By this time next year, I would have made the most out of the two terms, and the remaining months I will do my best.”
