There was a low turn-out at the town hall meeting called by ASUU on Thursday at the Mapo Hall in Ibadan.

Only a few residents, members of ASUU, activists and journalists were at the forum which was called to senstise people on the on-going strike.

Speaking at the forum, Dr Ademola Aremu, the National Treasurer of the union, said the education sector remains critical to the nation’s development.

“I want the Federal Government to move fast to end the 42-day-old ASUU strike so that the students can return to their studies,” he said.

The unionist said ASUU members were at Mapo Hall to drum up support from the public on the condition of the education sector.

Also speaking, Dr Olusegun Ajiboye, ASUU Chairman, University of Ibadan branch, called on Nigerians to support the campaign for better funding of universities.

“Education is the bedrock of the nation’s development through capacity training,” he said.

He called on government to sustain the dialogue with ASUU with a view to ending the strike. [NAN]

  1. Chnage doesn’t just come without sacrifice.Embarking on strike is a nice idea to bring about change in our educational system especially at the tertiary institution.Although it will affect the students but the end thereof will be to our benefit,i.e.,the students and to the country as a whole.The Government should only just try to meet the requirement of ASUU.

  2. What kind of leaders do we have that don’t care for the people that took them to were they are today.The futuer of the so-called future leaders is being ternished every day nd night all in the name of strike or so.Why can’t our leaders sit and re-think on ways to tackle such things by giving ASSU their demand.Thousands of Billions were spend on an irrelevant things e.g Nollywood so why not on education.Remember education is the bedrock of everything.
