University lecturers have for more than seven months embarked on strike action, which has paralysed academic activities in the nation’s tertiary institutions.
In an interview with Newsmen, ASUU President, Emmanuel Osodeke, said from politics and economy to security, education, healthcare and religion, the country has failed to live up to the dreams of its founding fathers at the dawn of Independence in 1960.
He said it was regrettable that 62 years after the nation’s independence, it was still grappling with leadership challenges.
He called on the Federal Government to increase the annual budgetary allocation to education as recommended by UNESCO.
In his remark, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said that the elite in Nigeria must make sacrifices for the benefit of citizens, who also should be deliberate to create unity, with equity, justice, rule of law, accountability as components.
