Even though they unaffected by the protracted strike embarked by
public university lecturers, students of the University of Ilorin have
appealed to both the Federal Government and the striking lecturers to
consider the plights of students, and reach a truce that will end the
three months strike.
The students, who have just resumed for the
new academic session lamented that they are not happy seeing their
colleagues from other schools staying at home while they are in school
receiving lectures.
Speaking with Quadlife, the students bemoaned
the uncaring attitude of government towards education in the country,
and urged them to return to negotiation table with the striking
lecturers to discuss ways of ending the strike as soon as possible.
“I am not happy with the way the Federal Government is handling this
matter; they seem careless about the plights of Nigerian students
because their own children are either in abroad or private universities
studying without any distraction. I passionately appeal to both FG and
ASUU to resume negotiations and find ways to end this embarrassing
strike, said Sirajdeen Alabede, a 400l Geography and Environmental
Management student.
Alarape Wasiu, a 400 Level Agricultural
Science student stressed that no nation can develop with a retrogressive
and decayed education system, saying that education remains the only
viable option to a secure and egalitarian society. His words: “I am not
happy seeing my friends in other schools staying hopelessly at home
owing to the irresponsibility of our government. A nation that fails to
educate its people will remain unsafe and unsecure. The federal
government should please meet the demands of ASUU for the betterment of
our education sector and for the good of the country,” he urged.
this unilorin students are a good model example for the useless ASUU . they are disgusting.
