The Chief Whip of the Nigerian Senate, Orji Uzor Kalu has called on the federal to put an end to the lingering ASUU Strike.
Kalu, in a statement he signed, yesterday, said incessant strikes by the lecturers could lead to poor quality of graduates.
He called on both parties to stop playing with the future of Nigerian youths who have been at home for over five months
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.
