The students, under the aegis of Students’ Union Government
(SUG), said they wanted to go back to school.
In a statement signed by the SUG President, Anuoluwa Adeboye
and Public Relations Officer (PRO), Gabriel Love Michael, which was made
available to The Guardian in Ibadan, yesterday, the students lamented that the
industrial action is threatening their academic activities.
They said the strike was dangerous and horrendous for them.
“The strike embarked upon by ASUU reached its 79th-day today
(Wednesday) without the Federal Government giving a listening ear or showing
great concern for their complaints.
“However, due to this strike, which ASUU LAUTECH is being
part of, the smoothly running academic calendar that students have been
enjoying since the inception of Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration has been
distorted by the solidarity strike and as such, the Harmattan semester for
2021/2022 session, which ought to have ended on May 2, 2022, has been
paralysed.
“Now, the involvement of ASUU LAUTECH is not only dangerous
for the Ladokites but also horrendous for the institution . We are poised
towards the rectification of the institution and a better educational system
for all.
Similarly, Lagos State First Lady, Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu,
has appealed to all stakeholders in the education sector to work towards
resolving the prolonged strike embarked upon by ASUU, describing the situation
as a ticking time-bomb that must be urgently addressed.
In a statement, yesterday, she made the appeal at a special
celebration hosted by the Lagos State first family and the state government at
the Lagos House, Alausa, Ikeja, to commemorate the end of Ramadan.
The governor’s wife also admonished the youths to shun all
ungodly, immoral and bestial acts, just as she urged parents to pay closer
attention to issues affecting their children.
She said beyond Ramadan, it was important for people to
imbibe and sustain the principles of the holy month.
