Buhari’s party slams S’East governors over ASUU strike

The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) on Wednesday, slammed the South-East governors for non-challance over the current strike by members of the Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities in state universities in that region.

The party said in a statement by the national publicity secretary, Mr Aghanya Dennis sent by email to the Nigerian Tribune in Lagos that their attitude could have a dire consequence, because of the importance of education in the lives of the younger generation.

The party, which parades a former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari, as one its stalwarts, stated that the current situation was disheartening that, at a time when the catch phrase across the world was capacity building, coupled with knowledge-based paradigm, the governors were unperturbed by strike.

The party added that such attitude was also deplorable, because the region was one of the most disadvantaged in the education of the youth.

According to the CPC, when other Nigerians pursued education, the south easterners pursued trade apprenticeship, giving rise to a class of illiterate and semi-illiterate adults in businesses.
