President of the Students’ Union Government
(SUG) at the University of Jos, Ajik Magaji, yesterday appealed to
striking lecturers to disregard threats of mass sack attributed to the
supervising Minister of Education, Nyesome Wike, and call off its five
months strike in the interest of parents and students.
Magaji in an interview with newsmen in Jos
described the minister’s threat as unnecessary, saying it was capable of
escalating the issue but appealed to lecturers to have faith in the
agreement reached with the president and end the strike.
“We understand that at the end of the meeting between the leadership of
ASUU and the president, there was an agreement between both parties.
Having come this far, we wonder why the supervising minister of
education would come out threatening the striking lecturers with mass
sack if the strike is not called off. We believe it is time we all come
together once again as major stakeholders in the affairs of the
education sector to chart a new course for advancing the sector and
improving the standard of our institutions’ he said.
He appealed to lecturers to disregard any comments made by the minister
of education and honour their part of the agreement by calling off the
strike.
