The National Alliance for Atiku and Okowa (NAfAO), a group vying for former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar’s emergence as Nigeria’s next president in 2023, has asked two ministers to resign immediately from office due to the prolonged strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
According to a statement made available to newsmen, and issued by the National Coordinator of the group, NAfAO, Inalegwu Adaje blamed the ministers for heightening the FG-ASUU crisis.
The group called for the resignation of the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, and Adamu Adamu, the Minister of Education.

The group also urged Nigerians to vote for the former Vice President, declaring him the right person to fix the education sector.
“We are calling for the immediate resignation of the minister of education Mallam Adamu Adamu, and his labour and productivity counterparts, Chris Ngige whose acts and conducts since the beginning of the action rather than solving the matter have actually succeeded in exacerbating the dispute to the chagrin of Nigerians.
“We are also calling on Nigerian students as the Leaders of tomorrow to rise up to the challenge and vote for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as he has the clear roadmap and pedigree to bring out the Nigerian educational system from its current precarious situation because Nigerians have suffered for so long under this regime,” the statement by the group reads in part.
Recall that ASUU embarked on a warning strike on February 14, and later announced a total and indefinite strike on August 29, 2022.
A number of their demands from the federal government include the enhancement of welfare, revitalization of public universities, and academic autonomy.
