University and polytechnic workers have tasked President Bola Tinubu to fund education and meet their pending demands.
Over the years, the three unions including the Academic Staff Union of Universities, the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, and the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics alleged that the federal government did not meet their demands. Speaking in an interview with our correspondent, national president, ASUU, Prof.
“Tinubu should also ensure that we have in Nigeria what other countries have that make people troop into their countries for education. He should ensure that the budgetary allocation given to other countries that are doing well in terms of education should be allocated to ensure that the system becomes functional. Sincerely, there should be a designated meeting with ASUU and negotiations, that way, we will solve all these problems. Let universities operate according to their laws.
Also speaking, the national president, the SSANU, Mr Mohammed Ibrahim, maintained that the only way Tinubu could win the hearts of university workers was for him to release the payment of illegally withheld salaries by the former president, Mohammadu Buhari’s government.
