Orji Uzor Kalu, the Chief Whip of the Nigerian Senate has urged the Federal Government led by President Muhammadu Buhari to take practical measures to end the ongoing ASUU strike.
Kalu disclosed this in a statement issued on Wednesday, noting that recurrent strikes lead to poor quality of graduates from the country’s universities.
He called on both parties to stop playing with the future of Nigerian youths who have been at home for over five months.
The statement reads: “Incessant strikes disrupt the academic calendar, encourage brain drain and contribute significantly to poor quality of graduates in the country, with far-reaching implications for national development.”

“The Federal Government should urgently take all necessary measures to open a realistic negotiation with ASUU to stop the strike and implement signed agreements in the interest of our students, their parents, the education sector and the country. We must stop playing with the future of our youths.”
ASUU had on February 14 declared industrial action, protesting the non-implementation of the agreements reached with the Federal Government.
