In lieu of Strike, I suggest ASUU should honestly scheme other ways to antagonize the unfair treatment of its species.
Fighting the government with strike is just like a futile attempt of breaking a mighty rock with an egg. As a group of intellectuals, the only key to the locks of unceasing demands of ASUU is to think out of the box and remain level headed. But instead of thinking logically to arrive at substantial outcome that can help ameliorate the glitches bruising our education and its entire elites, the thick curtain of fury guiding the sole objectives of ASUU always obstruct the proper view of the political gladiators to whom succumbing force they give in alas!
Like other government, blessed and lucky is ASUU indeed to have its veteran members in the APC government, ranging from the vice president, the chief of staff to the president then to other key figures nesting in the national and presidential offices. With them, I have the firm believe that ASUU has the ball rolling in their court and nothing can hinder the prosperity of their goal oriented behaviours but the willingness play their ball sagaciously and astutely.
To be candid with one another, this journey of grief in a vehicle called Strike and on the bad road that we all know the swelling bumps takes us nowhere but to a town of academic Sodom where we the students live in the terror of academic denial and our lecturers in the penury of salary denial! In addition ASUU’s constant fighting of a superior force like stolid Nigerian Government over its worthy right had never in the past, and will never in the present be a forthright approach for a substantial outcome.
Therefore, how I wish ASUU could politely liaise with our Professors at the tiptop of governmental offices to reach a peacefully assuring panacea that can salve us and them from the turmoil besieging us altogether….
