The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has
chided Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku for saying Nigeria would shut
down if the Federal Government grants all the demands by the striking
university lecturers.
ASUU described the minister’s statement as a
careless utterance and indication of his ignorance of the agreement between the
FG and ASUU.
The union in a statement by Zonal Coordinator,
Calabar zone, Dr. Charles Ononuju, urged Nigerians to disregard the statement
while asking Maku to apologise to for such unguarded comments and warned him to
stop playing politics with the future of the Nigerian child.
ASUU said: “Nigerians should ignore the careless
utterance by the Minister of Information that the country will shut down if
ASUU’s demand is met. It seems the minister has not seen or read the 2009
ASUU/FG agreement.
“The country has not shut down with constant
government wastages and billions of dollars being stolen. The minister should
apologise to Nigerians for such unguarded comments and stop playing politics
with the future of Nigerian child.”
