President Muhammadu Buhari has urged the Academic Staff Union of Universities to engage in conversation rather than resorting to repeated strike actions as a means of channeling their grievances.
The president delivered the address through Prof. Ignatius Onimawo, who represented him at the University of Ilorin’s 36th convocation, which took place in Ilorin on Saturday.
Prof. Onimawo is the former Vice-Chancellor of Ekpoma, Edo’s Ambrose Alli University.
“No one benefits from a crisis,” Buhari said, urging the ASUU to embrace peace. While the government cannot address all of society’s problems, this administration is willing to listen to grievances and other points of view in order to better manage a situation.
“The university system cannot withstand any crisis now considering the time it had lost to Coronavirus pandemic.”
He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to prioritizing and promoting teacher education in order to improve the country’s teaching quality.
President Buhari has also charged the University of Ilorin with directing indigenous vaccine research and manufacture.
“The nation expects your university to play a leading role in research efforts to develop COVID-19 vaccine in Nigeria.
“The nation expects nothing less from the Nigerian university system,’’ the president said.
At this time I am going to do my breakfast, once having my breakfast coming again to read more news.
