ASUU Strikes, Corruption In Education Undermining Govt Investments - Buhari

“The 1999 Constitution places a premium on education by placing it on the Concurrent List, thereby laying the responsibilities of budgeting and underwriting qualitative education on both the Federal and State Governments.

“In line with the National Policy on Education, this administration has been implementing the Home-Grown School Feeding Programme to provide a free balanced meal per day for each child that attends public primary school in order to encourage school enrolment and facilitate accesses to universal basic education.

President Buhari commended the ICPC for investigating and prosecuting sexual harassment as abuse of power in educational institutions.The President assured that the Government will continue to fund education within realistically available revenue, urging stakeholders, including the media to equally advocate for transparency in the amount generated as internally generated revenue by educational institutions and how such funds are expended.

President Buhari also said the Government will continue to guarantee access and establish minimum benchmarks for quality education. “I also commend the Chairman, ICPC, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and the Registrar of JAMB, for organizing this summit and bringing together the three arms of Government, MDAs and other stakeholders to deliberate on corruption in the educational sector of Nigeria,’’ he added.

Jega: Corruption in education sector significant enough to warrant serious attentionAttahiru Jega, former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), says corruption in the education sector is a miniature version of what is prevalent in the wider Nigerian context. This is where we produce the corruption in the public service. We train and educate them to loot. Then when they occupy office and refuse to pay our entitlement and improve the universities we go on strike 🤣. We deserve what we get. No ASSU member should ever complain 🤪 If you want corrupt free public servants that looks after the universities and benefits of lecturers, you must produce them in your classes. Otherwise do not complain or go on strike. Period.
