Professor Ibrahim Bande Zagga, a political science professor at Usmanu Dan Fodio University in Sokoto, has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari for the protracted strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
According to all indications, Buhari is not ready to resolve the lengthy agreements with university unions, the speaker said.
In response to the ongoing strike in Birnin Kebbi, Prof. Zagga stated that given both sides’ inaction, ASUU was also complicit in the plot to undermine public education as a whole.
“How much does ASUU require to end the strike? It is a very simple committee comprising the union and the federal government, which have met and reports submitted to the federal government. It is just for the government to implement it, period, “he said.
He lamented that the five months old strike has kept the students at home and their lecturers whom he said do not only teach but do other things like community works and others to keep the universities going.
In another development, he said arguments over the same faith ticket is baseless and but a promotion of selfish interest by some group of politicians who want to use it as bait for confusion otherwise late Abiola did it in 1993 and he won, but died and very recently Osun with large number of Muslims voted same faith ticket.
“So, it is not about religion but a patriotic leader who can bail out the country muslim- muslim or Christian it does not matter.”
