President Goodluck's Media Chat on ASUU Strike

According to him, "labour crisis is
common in developing countries, but
this ASUU strike is very unfortunate.
We have been part of this system
and we know what it is like.
Government has never taken the
pain to visit schools at all levels to
take inventory of the state of
infrastructure.
"This is what we did and they
came up with the result, which we
showed to all the governors. The
state of the infrastructure must
change but not overnight. But for
ASUU to now insist that it must be
overnight is what is most
unfortunate.
"It is very unfortunate for ASUU
strike to have lasted up to three
months. We have seen strikes before,
but none that has not been quickly
resolved even with lesser
commitment than we are putting in
this one. It is just not right for
ASUU to say that infrastructure is
just the main thing."
For the sake of Nigerian children,
he said, the aggrieved lecturers
should call off the strike, citing that
the issues were beyond the said
2009 FG/ASUU pact
