The All Progressives Congress, APC, has blasted the Federal Government for its several attempts to frustrate the ongoing ASUU strike, using “cheap and ludicrous strategies’’.
The party is accusing the government of using market women, religious leaders and students to frustrate and compel the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, to call off its nearly four months’ strike.
In a statement issued in Lagos yesterday by the party National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said that the lingering strike would have been called off by now if the Federal Government had continued sincerely with its negotiations with ASUU, instead of spending time, money and energy on rallies and protests against the Academic body.
The party said: ‘’This infantile statement by the leader of the apparently misguided market women is the most irresponsible statement that anyone has made on the long-drawn ASUU strike, and it is a shame that the government is the instigator of such nonsense.
‘’While indeed there are millions of jobless Nigerians, is it just any jobless Nigerian that can be a university teacher?
“How does President Goodluck Jonathan, himself a former university teacher, feel about those apparently hired by his administration treating university teachers with so much disrespect?
