Drawn out Strike: Enough Is Enough - President Buhari tells ASUU

 The President said the strike had already negatively affected the psychology of parents, students and different stakeholders, hurling numerous ethical issues that as of now beg for attention.

He noted that the fate of the nation lays on the nature and quality of educational institutions, while at the same time guaranteeing that the government grasps their situation, and discussions ought to proceed, with students in auditoriums.

“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,” he said.

The president called on all good natured Nigerians, especially those close to the pioneers and individuals from the association, to mediate in convincing the lecturers to reevaluate their situation, and the ripple effect on a whole generation and the country.

President Buhari said students from Nigerian colleges will be confronted with the test of rivaling others in a profoundly connected and innovation driven work area, and keeping them at home just denies them of time, expertise and valuable chances to be pertinent on the worldwide stage.

“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,” he said

President Buhari said assets ought to be directed more into building infrastructures and operations of the wellbeing and educational sector, not to extend the administration to create job opportunities.

“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,” the President noted.
