The Academic
Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has noted that civil servants who send their
children to Nigeria’s private universities are corrupt.
ASUU
chairman, University of Ibadan chapter, Dr Deji Omole, who spoke in Ibadan, the
Oyo State capital on Sunday pointed out that civil servant with children in
private universities in Nigeria must be stealing.
The ASUU
chairman spoke when he received a delegation of labour movement led by the
Chairman NLC Oyo State, Waheed Olojede who paid a solidarity visit to ASUU in
UI on the ongoing strike.
He said, “It
is unfortunate that we have to go on strike again, for as long as we continue
have bandits in government, we shall continue to struggle. It is sad that in
Nigeria that we pay lip service to public education.
“They do not
want us to have functional education so that they can continue to exploit us.
Our presidents will first visit international communities for endorsement after
their election and come back. The only problem they have is ASUU.
“There are
about 200 applicants for private universities that they want to give license.
“They had
wanted to sell public universities to themselves but ASUU resisted. How many of
us can legitimately send our children to private universities?
“Our parents
have served them, we are serving them now and they are already planning so that
our children will serve them.
“The ruling
class are united against the masses. All these ethnic jingoists are being
sponsored by those who have lost out of the equation.
“Where is
the place of the masses in the restructuring? Our oppressors are united. God
loves the poor, he created them more than the rich, and it is left to the poor
to use their size to chase away oppressors.”
