Vice President Namadi Sambo yesterday urged the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to call off its strike in the interest of the students and the country.
Sambo spoke yesterday in Gadau, Itas/Gadau Local Government Area of Bauchi State, at the inauguration of the Bauchi State University in the town.
The Vice President, who is the Chairman of the Federal Government’s negotiation team, said the government had shifted grounds in response to the union’ demands.
He urged the striking lecturers to reciprocate the government’s gesture by calling off the strike.
Sambo said: “The Federal Government is rehabilitating the railway system to ease transportation and is developing the health, agriculture and the training of youths on industrial computer technology to create wealth and make room for private investors to invest. All these developmental plans can only be achieved when we have educated manpower.”
