Concerned ministers flay Jonathan on ASUU strike

 
A group of men of God from across the 33 local government areas of Oyo State, under the aegis of Concerned Ministers Forum, has condemned in its totality the inability of President Goodluck Jonathan to end the three-month- old strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The forum, in a release signed by its President, Reverend James Olusola Akande and Secretary General, Reverend Toye Adeyeye, described the industrial action as a sad reminder of bad governance.
According to the ministers of God, the current situation has revealed the intention of present leaders to sink the educational system as they did to the nation’s refineries.
“We have keenly observed that these leaders are planning to sink our universities and later lease them out to themselves in the name of privatisation,” the forum lamented.
The forum further said that the nonchallant attitude of the nation’s leaders to the present strike could not be unconnected with the fact that “our leaders have their children studying abroad and some in our neighbouring countries like Ghana and Togo.
