EDUCATION IN NIGERIA: VC speaks on how incessant strikes by ASUU, others damaging country’s image, as 34 Al-Hikmah varsity’s programmes accredited
Incessant strikes by the Academic Staff Unions of Universities (ASUU), Non- Academic Staff Union (NASU) and Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) are damaging the image of Nigeria in the comity of nations, the Vice Chancellor of Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin, Prof Noah Yusuf, reportedly said.
He said the strikes did not show the seriousness of the country towards education.
The professor of sociology said the demands of the unions paled into insignificance in comparison to trillions of Naira the current administration claimed it had spent on schools’ feeding programme.
The academic spoke in Ilorin, Kwara State, while announcing the accreditation of 34 of the varsity’s programmes by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
