Orji Uzor Kalu, the Chief Whip of the Nigerian Senate, has told the federal government of Nigeria to consider the future of the youths and find a solution to the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Kalu in a statement on Wednesday said the incessant strikes by tertiary institution lecturers would reduce the quality of graduates in the country.
Calling on ASUU and the federal government, the senator urged that they stop playing with the future of the students and find a solution to their problems.
In a statement he signed on Wednesday, the lawmaker said the incessant strikes by the lecturers could lead to poor quality of graduates.
“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," the statement reads.
AllNews Nigeria reports that ASUU went on strike on February 14 to emphasise their demands.
