ASUU Accuses FG of Negligence in Education Sector

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has accused the Federal Government of not being interested in funding public universities in the country.

Chairperson of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, branch of the union, Ibrahim Inuwa, stated this at a press conference held at the ASUU Secretariat, shortly after staging a peaceful protest on Tuesday.

Inuwa noted that under-funding public universities in the country under the pretext that the government has no money was a deliberate attempt to introduce exorbitant school fees that the ordinary Nigerian cannot afford.

He appealed to well-meaning Nigerians to prevail on the government to, as a matter of urgency and national interest, resolve all outstanding issues with ASUU for the wellbeing of the country.
