ASUU Slams Buhari, Lists All His Failures As A President
President Muhammadu Buhari, according to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has failed Nigerians in numerous ways.
Professor Ayo Akinwole, the Chairman of the University of Ibadan branch of ASUU, in a statement released on Sunday urged Nigerians to vote a leader who can defend them in 2023.
In the press statement issued on May 1st to compliment workers, Akinwole urged Nigerian workers to rise up and reject a system that put them in harm’s way.
He asked Buhari to follow the path of honour and sign agreements that will improve working conditions and turn the country’s universities into a true knowledge ecosystem.
He went on to say that Nigerian citizenship has been jeopardized as a result of the government’s failure to recognize the need of promoting integration.
Akinwole said, “This administration has failed Nigerians in the following ways: Non-implementation of minimum wage policy of the government by all the states; inappropriate payment platform of salary, which denies workers the opportunity to plan for the future.
“Embargo on employment in federal universities has turned workers to slaves; workers have become hopeless because there is no succession plan; High level of insecurity has negatively affected safety of life and properties, Political instability in Nigeria more than ever before this government polarized the country along religion and ethnicity.
“Citizenship in the Nigerian state has been compromised due to the wrong attitude of the government that does not see the need to promote integration; The current administration lacks the capacity to unite the country and provide needed forum for the future; and Our youth have become negatively aggressive and have given in to moral lapses.
“Nigerian people have been abandoned to the elements, to bandits and terrorists, to disease and scarcity. They are fed with words on empty stomachs and are nourished with promises that are never kept.”
