ASUU STRIKE DEBATE!
At this juncture, should ASUU call of the strike or just continue till federal government respond to their plights?
MY OPINION
ASUU made a mistake by not receiving the initial 100 billion Federal Government offered them. Since that has gone, Federal Government should at least add to the 100 billion they initially gave them so as to end the strike and students can resume back to their lecture rooms. the addition of 100 billion to the initial money they were given would be a 50 : 50 fair play.
WHAT IS YOUR VIEW, KEEP THE DEBATE GOING!!

When this all started there was a clearly defined line but as the days rolls into weeks and weeks into months that line becomes so blurry i know longer know who is benefitting from this industrail action embarked upon by this bunch of political assu. I think there as to be a compromise on the part of assu or else the Nigerian students should start looking for other options. This is a sad tale
ReplyDeleteI just feel Federal Government is not serious about the welfarism of the Nigerian students. is it really true they do not have this money? maybe that's y ASUU is refusing to back down
