Kwara House Of Assembly Seeks End To ASUU Strike

Date: 2013-09-15

Kwara State House of Assembly has urged the Federal Government to urgently resolve the face-off between it and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in the interest of the Nigerian students.

Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly,Mr. Razak Atunwa, made the call while receiving the leadership of the Zone C of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) in his office.

Atunwa, who was represented by his deputy, Prof. Mohammed Gana Yisa, explained that the need for quick resolution became imperative in view of the fact that a day lost in any academic calendar could not be regained, pointing out that the trend was not good for the development of education in Nigeria.

Atunwa explained with sadness that no Nigerian university was among the first 1000 in the world and expressed the need for the stakeholders in the education sector to replace the decay infrastructure to improve the standard of the country’s ivory towers.

The speaker observed that proper funding of education was fundamental towards fast tracking sustainable development of any country,stressing that an idle hand was the devil’s workshop.

He said as leaders of tomorrow, Nigerian youth must be adequately prepared and praised Nigerian students for eschewing protest and violence in their quest to restore normalcy in the universities academic calendar.

Atunwa assured that the House of Assembly under his leadership would ensure that the state government looked into the requests of the association.

NANS Zone C Coordinator, Mr. Adio Friday Odunjo, urged the house to wade into the protracted ASUU strike, and appealed to the state government to assist the body with office accommodation and other logistics as well as provision of buses to student bodies in all the state owned tertiary institutions.
