“When ASUU was in the trenches fighting military dictatorships and fighting to restore democracy back to our country,most of those opposed to its strike today had no courage to speak out.”

“The ongoing strike action by the Academic staff union of Universities, ASUU, is a patriotic act of resistance against bad and visionless leadership in the country.Its a genuine struggle to save the education sector from total collapse.Those oppose to the strike are reactionaries and running dogs of the political establishment.

“There is no other way for the University teachers to press home their demands and pressurize the federal government to keep to its promises than through strikes.The Federal Government should meet up the demands of the Teachers and end the resort to blackmail. It is ironic that some Nigerians have the guts to protest against ASUU strike but failed to protest against the FG when it renege on all agreements it enters with ASUU.

“Our leaders Indifference to the state of our Education stems from the fact that most of their children study in expensive schools abroad.Successive governments in Nigeria have destroyed the tertiary education by chronic underfunding,systematic neglect and deliberate lack of emphasis.

“Most of our leaders attended public schools and public schools have today become public nuisance and public shame.Nigerian public Universities are now dysfunctional bakeries for churning out half baked graduates and Nigerian private universities have become outpost mills for massive production of fraudulent first class graduates.

“University Teachers have the right to strike and to struggle for their rights and cannot be stopped by the hired agents of the state or those ignorant of the imperative of sacrifice.ASUU strike is a salvation mission to rescue our tertiary education.

“When ASUU was in the trenches fighting military dictatorships and fighting to restore democracy back to our country,most of those opposed to its strike today had no courage to speak out.”
