The persistent strikes by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is killing the educational system in Nigeria. The strike embarked upon by ASUU, had impacted negatively on the system. The persistent strikes by ASUU have had tremendous impact on the quality of our education system. It is becoming necessary for us to initiate a lasting solution to the problem. I call on the Federal Government, members of ASUU and the 36 state committees to urgently come to an agreement, so that our students can return to their schools, because the nation needed to evolve a policy of keeping children in school, especially the girl-child, to minimise most of the societal problems such as militancy, terrorism, insurgency, prostitution and ignorance. Attention should be placed on timeliness for completion of academic programmes which, at the moment, are usually delayed by strikes, with the decline in the quality of education in the country, urgent steps must be taken to rescue the sector from the morass. Our Leaders and stakeholders need to brainstorm on how to move the education sector forward.
