APC Blasts FG Over ASUU Strike

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has condemned the Federal Government’s insincere and amateurish handling of the strike that has paralyzed academic work in public universities in the country for the third month running.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the tepid and half-hearted way the government has handled the strike has shown that it does not place much premium on education, which is the path to national development.
It said there is no better indication of the government’s disdain for education than the fact that the Jonathan Administration has continued in its profligate ways even as students caught in the web of the strike remained at home when they should be engaged in serious academic work.
APC said since the strike started, the Jonathan administration has thrown at least two mega, money-guzzling dinners in Abuja, perhaps the best example of the aphorism ‘Nero fiddles while Rome burns’.
“In one of such frivolities, the President and his party folks feasted joyously at a post-PDP convention dinner even as hapless students were bemoaning their fate over the strike.”
