Adamu Adamu, the Minister of Education, on Thursday August 18, said Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) should compensate students for the time wasted during the six-month strike, and not the Federal Government.
The Minister also noted that the federal government will not concede to the union’s demand to pay lecturers their emoluments for the six months of no academic activities.
During his speech at the 47th Session of the State House Ministerial Briefing organised by the Presidential Communications Team at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, Adamu asked affected students to “take ASUU to court” to claim damages incurred over the strike period.
