ASUU Strike: NUC has failed the Nation, NGO groups lament

With the ongoing industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) clocking two months old today, civic organizations in the country have blamed the National Universities Commission, NUC, for the state of comatose in the country's higher institutions of learning.

The ASUU on July 2nd this year embarked on another strike over the refusal of the Federal Government to honour the 2009 agreement on the funding of universities and a subsequent January 2012 Memorandum Of Understanding she freely entered into with the lecturers.

The group, which are 20 in number, did not only blame the NUC for the incessant agitation by ASUU, but added that "it is a direct fall out of the embarrassing abdication of its (NUC) responsibility".

The groups include: Zero Corruption Coalition (ZCC); Women Organisation for Gender Issue (WOGI); CiviI Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC); West African Civil Society Forum (WACSOF); Publish What You Pay (PWYP) Nigeria; National Procurement Watch Platform (NPWP) and Independent Service Delivery Monitoring Group (ISDMG) and others ....
