Leaders and ministers of churches have said the country’s future is bleak with the lingering ASUU strike in the country.
They, therefore, appealed to unions in the nation’s
universities to quickly resolve the issue in the interest of the students.
Speaking with journalists in Ilorin on Monday under the
aegis of the Fellowship of Leaders and Ministers of Bible-believing Churches,
the clerics, led by Pastor Abel Aiyedogbon, said that the future of Nigeria may
be in jeopardy if youth are not prepared for expected roles.
“As a body and stakeholders to the destinies of our
children, we appealed to the parties concerned especially the federal
government to quickly resolve the ASUU crisis.
“The students involved are the future leaders of our nation
and if they are not prepared for such roles as expected, the future of our
country may be in jeopardy.
“Today is the womb of tomorrow, what we do with our nation
today will determine how strong the country will be tomorrow. The Nigeria of
tomorrow is certainly going to be what the ruling class of today organises it
to be,” he said.
The church leaders and ministers said that the prolonged
strike action had shown alleged insensitivity on part of the nation’s
policymakers and all the stakeholders involved, adding that the plights of
university students who have been at the receiving end over the years need to
be considered.
