ASUU strike: not insoluble

Starting this note on this simple premise, I hope I will not be guilty of any fallacy.

Federal government claims she is not poor;

ASUU’s chief lack is money for intellectual development;

Federal government denies massive implementation;

ASUU goes on strike;

The conclusion is not as harmful as the effects. It is simply illogical and irresponsible on the part of federal government if ASUU strike continues owing to these premises.

Since the wake of July 2013 till now, the dailies have been reading different headlines about ASUU strike. ASUU strike is becoming a thing of necessity to an average Nigerian student, irrespective of educational level. The current headlines now read: ASUU strike becoming political – Suswam; ASUU warns Suswam over utterances; ASUU denies Suswam’s linking of strike to politics… how long shall we continue to read through the dailies in search of anomalies between ASUU and federal government? Must every ASUU chairman’s regime undergo strike?

The President as a technocrat and as an intellectual product should endeavour to see these whole issues in a different light. The Minister for Education; the Chairman on Universities Needs Assessment and Implementation Committee; Information Minister; The Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Finance Minister have all played a tune that is though audible, yet meaningfully inaudible in this matter . Could it be the case of he who pays the pipers dictates the tunes or a travesty of the presidency and an individualistic view of their representaion, or something else? Is there anything hideous in the way the five public office holder of high portfolio have seen this strike issue, without any of them having a slim different view? That they even contradicted each other on the left.

The Chairman on Universities Needs Assessment and Implementation Committee; Information Minister; the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Finance Minister have all played a politicking role in juxtaposition with the millions of students striving through ill-developed schools.

I suggest the eradication of these third parties. Mr. President Sir, on the basis of your intellectuality, technocracy, a good father and a formal University don, who knows the academic settings better than all these third parties, to please do attend to the needs of ASUU.

We want to hear your fatherly response as we anticipate a one stop solution to the needs of ASUU. Hear the voice of millions stranded Nigerian students. Kindly wade in your magic wand to meet the needs and bring peace aboard.
