Prior to his appointment, the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, advised the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) not to call off its strike until the Federal Government under ex-President Goodluck Jonathan did its bidding in 2013.

Former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Prof Chidi Odinkalu made this known in a tweet via his Twitter handle on Saturday.

Adamu, who was appointed Education Minister by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015, last week urged ASUU to call of its strike in the interest of the nation, a direct opposite of what he said under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administration five years ago.

Addressing a news conference last Monday, Adamu said, “I want to use this opportunity to appeal to ASUU to put off this strike in the name of the country, and in view of what the situation is.”

Odinkalu tweeted:

“This nation owes a debt of gratitude to ASUU and the strike should not be called off until the government accepts to do and does what is required. So, instead of hectoring ASUU to call off its strike, the nation should be praying for more of its kind in other sectors of the economy. – Adamu Adamu”

He tagged the tweet: “Those who do opposition politics like they’ll never be government, end up doing government like they don’t know what to do wth it.”

People like you na the wahala we get for this country.

karma craze

This shouldn't come as a surprise

They people defending and supporting this Government, are those people who have one or two persons appointed by the present government either their uncle, aunt, father, mother, nephew, niece, children, cousins, inlaws.

A man was like "he knows the government is has not done anything but i should try and support, vote for APC since his son is a councilor under the party.

So when i see some zombiez writing trash on this platform I already know the have someone bringing a share of the loot to them

Stupid Adamumu! Stupid lifeless idiots! All of them are from Sudan!

APC is a fraud. The Daura Bigot must go back to his Daura base or Sudan if he is Jubrin Aminu

That was back in 2013....when ASUU had not been paid any of the money agreed in the 2009 agreement...which promised N3trillion over two years in extra funding for the universites.

Also,back in 2013...OIL was above $100 per barrel.Our revenue was higher. In 2014...we were even said to be the highest economy in Africa asper GDP rebasing.

So, Adamu Adamu (who back in 2013 was a mere newspaper collumnist)....thought...as I did then...that FG had the money.

But then came the ASUU-FG meeting between GEJ, Labour Minister Wogu ,Education Minister Wike and ASUU execs...where GEJ told them the truth. FG did not have N 3 trillion at hand....and instead offered N1 trillion over 5 years. ASUU took the deal. In 2014...the first 200BN was paid.

Fast frowardto 2015....oil was dropping (it reached $75 by May 2015 and $30 by 2016). Buhari had to borrow massively to keep our head above water....AND also had to save because the previous govt had drained the savings account.

Now ASUU is on strike...and asking for the payment of the (once again) revised 2013agreement. Oil is at $80. We need to pay off debts, need to save ....and even if we found N1.1 trillion over the next years....note that it is still NOT enough.

Welcome to reality. the reality that education funding in Nigeria means we have to increase fees. That has been the truth we have faced since 2013...when GEJ told ASUU some home truths.

What goes around always comes around

Is this real

Power of social media

God bless you Prof Odinkalu. Thank God for the internet. Exposing hypocrites and unpatriotic, biased elements.
