Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike embarked upon some weeks ago. Speaking to newsmen at the valedictory ceremony of the schools at the weekend, Chief Christian Francis Olaniyan urged ASUU to go back to work and resolve its dispute with the Federal Government amicably. Maintaining that incessant strikes by the union at the peak of academic session have done incalculable damage to the educational system of the country, Olaniyan added that their demands can only be met at negotiation table. He said ASUU should also share in the blame for poor standard of education in our tertiary institutions, adding that teaching profession is humanitarian just like nursing.
"For instance, no single government university was rated among the 100 best universities in the world." This, he said, was a signal that standard of education is falling. He also blamed the government for not fulfilling their promises made with ASUU in 1999, but paying lip service to the agreement.
