Rita OkonobohMatthew Kukah, Catholic bishop of Sokoto diocese, has criticised stakeholders over the failure to address issues which have prolonged the strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities .
The ongoing strike by ASUU, which was declared the strike over the federal government’s failure to address the union’s demands on salaries and allowances of lecturers, as well as issues around funding of universities, has been on for more than four months. “For us in Nigeria, the university students who count in millions can be classified as out-of-school children. This is unacceptable, especially as I said, that these things are happening in a democracy,” he said.
