The Academic Staff Union of Universities has claimed that universities would not reopen until the Federal Government honours its agreement.
The claim by ASUU is in response to the Federal Government’s plans to reopen schools following the flattening of the COVID-19 curve. Their grievances against the Federal Government stems from the government’s inability to fulfill its agreement made to the union, and also the situation of things in most universities.
Prof Biodun Ogunyemi, ASUU’s National President, claims that “there is a deliberate attempt to kill university education in the country. Some universities use stoves in their laboratories instead of burners and buckets to fetch water to perform experiments; it’s as bad as that.”
He says the government’s inability to fulfill its promises is because children of government officials attend foreign universities.
