President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday warned that the nationwide strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities might endanger the lives of Nigerian youths if further prolonged.
The President spoke in Ado Ekiti, the state capital during the inauguration of the College of Engineering, Afe Babalola University.
He urged ASUU to take into consideration the plight of the learners as patriotic citizens, saying, “The future of the country should not be sacrificed on the altar of industrial disharmony. This can endanger the future of the country.
“I want to beg ASUU to reconsider its stand on the current impasse rocking our universities, which has kept students out of school for four months.
“This hard stand and protracted crisis can endanger the collective destiny of millions of the future leaders. The future of the country should not be altered on the altar of industrial dispute.”
