President Goodluck Jonathan on
Saturday warned that the nationwide strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff
Union of Universities might endanger the lives of Nigerian youths if further
prolonged.
The President spoke in Ado Ekiti, the
state capital during the inauguration of the College of Engineering, Afe
Babalola University.
He urged ASUU to take into
consideration the plight of the learners as patriotic citizens, saying, “The
future of the country should not be sacrificed on the altar of industrial
disharmony. This can endanger the future of the country.
“I want to beg ASUU to
reconsider its stand on the current impasse rocking our universities, which has
kept students out of school for four months.
“This hard stand and protracted
crisis can endanger the collective destiny of millions of the future leaders.
The future of the country should not be altered on the altar of industrial
dispute.”
ASUU on Friday however ruled out the
possibility of accepting a new offer from the Federal Government, insisting
that the 2009 agreement it had with government must be fully implemented.
