Festus Osifo, The President of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, has called on the Federal Government to resolve all persisting issues with the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, without any postponement.
Osifo stated that, the continuous disruption of the academic calendar in public tertiary institutions and the snobbish attitude of political office holders towards government owned educational institutions.
He said, “The clear ineptitude in this administration is becoming more worrisome, unfortunately there appears to be no end in sight, making the country a laughing stock in the comity of nations”.
“Government must engage ASUU without further delay in constructive negotiations to find a lasting solution to their complaints”.
“Education is one of the factors that influences the progress of any society but in our clime, it appears there is a deliberate effort to stifle the sector to keep the country perpetually dark and under-developed”.
