ASUU won’t go on strike under my administration, says Atiku

Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, says the Academic Staff Union of Universities will not go on strike if he is elected Nigeria’s president.

He stated this at the commemoration of the 2022 International Youth Day in Abuja on Friday.

ASUU has been on strike since February 14 due to the inability of the Federal Government to honour their 2009 agreement with the union.

Atiku, who disclosed that he had been investing in education for 30 years, noted that the most important fundamental right of any youth is the right to education.

He said,  “I take a very strong exception to the strike by ASUU. The inability of the government to resolve that crisis will never happen under a PDP government or administration that I will oversee.

“I have been investing in education for the past 30 years.”

The former Vice President promised to work with the university authorities to bring an end the incessant strike.

“I believe the PDP provides the best platform for you to actualise your individual, collective aspirations,” he said.
