The National Association of Nigerians Students (NANS), on Saturday, reportedly urged the Academy Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to be flexible while negotiating with the Federal Government as a talk resume based on the hint by Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, which said on Friday that government and ASUU would resume talks with a view to ending the prolonged closure of Nigerian public universities.
NANS Chairman Osun State Chapter, Comrade Oyelayo Oyewole, while speaking during a news conference held at NUJ Press Center, Osogbo, said the 11-week-old strike by ASUU is a pointer that education is less important to administration in the country, although there are many Nigerian including students, who believe that the universities’ lecturers have not provided justification for demolition of the nation’s education system with their unending strike actions.
The union leaders berated the Minister for State Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba for purchasing N100 million APC presidential form amid the strike action by universities’ lecturers.
