Senator Orji Kalu has appealed to Federal Government to reopen negotiations wit the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) over its ongoing nationwide strike.
Members of ASUU have abandoned classrooms in public owned
universities nationwide since Feb. 14, 2022, due to the government’s failure to
meet its demands.
Bt Kalu, in a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja, urged
the Federal Government to re-open negotiations with ASUU to salvage the
disrupted academic calender.
According to him, the federal government should also
endeavour to implement the signed agreements with the lecturers in the
interests of students, their parents, the education sector and the country at
large.
“Incessant strikes disrupt the academic calendar, encourage
brain drain and contribute significantly to the poor quality of graduates in
the country, with far-reaching implications on national development.
“The federal government should urgently take all necessary
measures to open a realistic negotiation with ASUU to stop the strike and
implement the signed agreements in the interest of our students, their parents,
the education sector and the country.
“We must stop playing with the future of our youth,” he
said.
