He wrote: “Incessant strikes disrupt the academic calendar, encourage brain drain and contribute significantly to the poor quality of graduates in the Country, with far-reaching implications for national development.
“The federal government should urgently take all necessary measures to open a realistic negotiation with ASUU to stop the strike and implement the signed agreements in the interest of our students, their parents, the education sector and the Country.
“We must stop playing with the future of our youths.”
Recall that president Buhari on Monday had charged lecturers who had been on strike since February 14 to return to their classrooms in the interest of their students.
