The Federal Government of Nigeria has been given seven days by the Coalition of Southern and Middle Belt Youth Leaders Assembly (COSMBYLA) to address its issues with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The President General of the assembly, Goodluck Ibem, concerned about the condition of education, said President Buhari's government has intentionally neglected the government's issues with ASUU.
The President, in a statement released on Wednesday, maintained that without education, development is impossible in the country.
The alliance called on well-meaning Nigerians to salvage the situation, threatening a nationwide protest if the issues remain unresolved within seven days.
"All students, our youths, and all lovers of democracy who mean well for our nation must rise up now and say no to these policies of backwardness by President Muhammadu Buhari who has no plans to ensure Nigerian students and their lecturers go back to school.
“We, therefore, give the Federal Government 7 days ultimatum to resolve the ASUU strike or face mass protests by Nigerian students and youths. The time is counting," the statement read in part.
