Nigeria - Outgoing Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Prof. Isaac Adewole, in an interview with Punch expects the incoming Buhari-led administration to do justice to the already signed agreement Nigerian lecturers made with the outgoing administration.

According to reports, FG had promised to release N1.3trillion to the Universities.

"Buhari will have to find money to pay for the settlement of the 2014 and 2015 agreement."

"If he cannot get money immediately, he will have to call ASUU to a meeting and tell its members that he needs a breathing space on the challenges he inherited. He must state his reasons and I am sure that the union, being an association of responsible people, will listen to him. The President cannot pretend that the agreement does not exist."

"He will have to do a surgical operation in the education sector. We need to rebuild from the foundation. We must not only pay attention to tertiary education, we also need to pay attention to tertiary and secondary education systems. Education cannot be an orphan."

"Buhari must put in place a mechanism to rebuild education in the country. People should not see the education sector as an item of expenditure but a short path to national development." He added.
