President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government has come under heavy criticism over the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.
Deji Adeyanju, convener of Concerned Nigerians, revealed that it was unacceptable that the Federal Government cannot properly fund public universities.
He stressed that the public university system in Nigeria was built to discomfort students and lecturers.
The Abuja-based lawyer and rights activist, disclosed that the government wastes billions on unnecessary things but cannot fund education.
Adeyanju further supported the decision of ASUU to remain on strike.
According to Adeyanju: “Only those who have a taste of what education should look like will support ASUU strike: I support the ASUU strike 100% because if you observe how properly coordinated and funded private universities are, then you will realize that our public universities are hellholes.
“The whole public university system in Nigeria is built to frustrate both students and lecturers. Government can waste billions on irrelevance but can’t fund our universities. This is unacceptable.”
