ASUU Needs To Help Nigeria
I write to support ASUU as it continues to battle for the future of Nigerian youth. Yet, I want to also tell ASUU that Nigeria is not financially capable to accept some of its demands because Nigeria does not have the funds. ASUU will likely return in weeks since the government understands the political risk as national election arrives. But note this: only ASUU can save the schools; the government has lost the absolute capacity to save the universities.
University strikes decimate local economies. My local government has two universities; we know the contributions those schools provide to the local economy. In this piece, I share some ways ASUU can save the future of our university system. If ASUU leads, we can avoid strikes of the future. But if we do not, nothing will change.
