The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has threatened to sue the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration for the prolonged Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) which has left students of the public universities at home for over four months.
SERAP in a tweet through its handle condemned the Buhari-led administration for violating the rights of poor children to education and equal protection, threatening to sue the government for committing a crime against humanity.
"The ASUU strike which has kept the poor children at home while the children of Nigeria's politicians attend private school is a CRIME against HUMANITY.
"We're suing the Buhari administration over its violation of poor children's rights to education and equal protection," the tweet read.
Members of ASUU embarked on strike on February 14 to emphasise their demands including the revitalisation of public universities and earned academic allowances, and the replacement of the IPPIS payment platform with UTAS.
This is coming after the Nigeria Labour Congress said it would hold a one-day national protest to compel the federal government to meet the demands of ASUU and other university-based unions.
