FG’s ‘non-challant attitude’ will worsen ASUU strike -Don

 

The Provost of the College of Post Graduate Studies, Osun State University, Prof. Wasiu Alagbe Gbolagade, has decried what he called the non-challant attitude of the federal government to compel striking university lecturers go back to work.
According to him, “this kind of attitude would not bring the strike to an end in good time.”
Speaking with reporters in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, the university don said the gederal government’s “hard line position would rather make the situation in our universities worse.”
The Professor of Computational Mathematics advised President Goodluck Jonathan to see reasons with the striking lecturers whom he said are concerned about ensuring that the standard of tertiary education in the country does not further decline.


He said, “It is a pity that the present political class does not appreciate education and this is so because majority of them lack proper education. They are not educated. They only passed through the school system; the system itself did not pass through them. How do explain many of our leaders, particularly the president, who was a lecturer, not caring a bit about education and the future of the nation.”
