The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has urged the Federal Government to resolve its issues with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) so that Nigerian students can resume their tertiary education.
The Executive Secretary of the commission, Tony Ojukwu (SAN) in a statement issued by its Deputy Director of Public Affairs, Fatimah Mohammad, asked the FG to resume negotiation with ASUU.
“The demands of ASUU are genuine; the allowances, improved facilities, and infrastructures are not in any way bogus expectations that cannot be taken care of, considering the positive effects these will have on our universities.
“Incessant ASUU strike has continued to constitute a major threat to the right to education of students of our tertiary institutions, especially the public universities where the greater population of our youth attend," Ojukwu said.
The secretary maintained that the demands of the union are valid.
