President Goodluck's Media Chat on ASUU Strike

 According to him, “labour crisis is common in developing countries, but this ASUU strike is very unfortunate. We have been part of this system and we know what it is like. Government has never taken the pain to visit schools at all levels to take inventory of the state of infrastructure.

   “This is what we did and they came up with the result, which we showed to all the governors. The state of the infrastructure must change but not overnight. But for ASUU to now insist that it must be overnight is what is most unfortunate.

   “It is very unfortunate for ASUU strike to have lasted up to three months. We have seen strikes before, but none that has not been quickly resolved even with lesser commitment than we are putting in this one. It is just not right for ASUU to say that infrastructure is just the main thing.”

   For the sake of Nigerian children, he said, the aggrieved lecturers should call off the strike, citing that the issues were beyond the said 2009 FG/ASUU pact
