NASU STRIKE
why Muslim students ‘attack’ President Muhammadu Buhari
The Muslim Students Society
of Nigeria, MSSN has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari for his alleged
silence about university workers’ strike.
The university workers’ strike has
led to the disruption of academic activities in some Federal Universities. However,
in a statement during the weekend which was released by its National President,
Dr Saheed Ashafa, the Muslim students’ group accused the presidency of ignoring
the workers.
The statement read in part: “The
presidency is not giving priority to the strike action and it is sending a bad
perception about this administration.
“In the first place, the
strike is avoidable and needless. It is unpalatable to the hearing that a
country like Nigeria still pays low attention to workers’ welfare.
“The poor attention and
undue silence of the Federal Government over the ongoing strike embarked upon
by members of NASU, SSANU and NAAT are condemnable and highly demoralizing.
“It is understandable that
children of majority of those leading the education agencies and ministries
that should engage the striking workers are studying abroad, but that should
not mean that the sons and daughters of the Nigerian masses should be made to
suffer for developing interest in education.

“As we speak, some of our
universities smell and stink, others have their libraries, health centres,
powerhouses and other strategic facilities shut down. Students now live on
university campuses like they are in the jungle.
“This is pathetic and must
be urgently addressed. We will not get the best from our workers if we continue
to treat them like slaves; their commitment to work will be vacuous.”
