Vote out leaders who shut down universities, ASUU tells parents, students

The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Thursday urged parents and students to vote out leaders who have made schools remain closed nationwide.

ASUU President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, while speaking with Journalists at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State declared that ASUU would not relent in its bid to ensure better funding for universities

Osodoke decried the Federal Government’s nonchalant attitude towards issues that concern education in the country.

“We also appeal to Nigerians. This matter concerns their lives. In the next five to six months, there will be an election. They should hold their PVCs, and all those who have subjected them to this, they should vote them out.

“It is their right. They should vote them out because children of the masses can’t be at home while children of those leaders will be enjoying education outside the country. That is their right and they should use their PVCs,” Sodeke concluded.
