3 months ASUU Strike is a sign of Bad Governance - Pastors to GEJ

A group of men of God from across the 33 local government areas of Oyo State, under the aegis of Concerned Ministers Forum, has condemned in its totality the inability of President Goodluck Jonathan to end the three-month- old strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

The forum, in a release signed by its President, Reverend James Olusola Akande and Secretary General, Reverend Toye Adeyeye, described the industrial action as a sad reminder of bad governance.

According to the ministers of God, the current situation has revealed the intention of present leaders to sink the educational system as they did to the nation’s refineries.
