Federal Government agrees to honour its agreement with the Academic Staff Union of Universities to prevent persistent strikes by lecturers.
An educationist, Dr Joseph Otuagoma, has urged the Federal GovernmentA statement on Monday noted that Otuagoma made the appeal while addressing reporters in Lagos recently.
According to him, Nigeria’s higher education system has long been plagued by industrial disputes, with frequent ASUU strikes being one of the major reasons for declining confidence in public universities.
“In Nigeria, if a university doesn’t go on strike for a year, people are shocked. A course meant to last four years can easily stretch to six or seven,” he lamented.
