Nigerian govt confirms asking labour minister to withdraw from negotiation with striking university

The Nigerian government has described as untrue the report in some sections of the media that the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu was given two weeks to resolve the lingering conflicts between the striking university workers and the government.

The statement reads in part; “The outcome of the meeting held by President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday with relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies to end the agitations by university unions ought to be beyond spin-doctoring and conjectures. It is a pity that almost all media houses allowed themselves to be deceived by interested sources that are not the authorised spokesmen of the government.

Mr Shehu added; “The Presidency is optimistic that agreements can be reached in an even shorter period if all parties/stakeholders are not unrealistically obstinate. We appeal to the parties to work together to end the strikes.

It beats my imagination how a country can be this nonchalant insentive and careless! to matter like her educational sector. Yes i mean all these. This strike should be consider A STATE OF EMERGENCY!!!
