So, ASUU is going on another strike that will maim the dreams, hopes, and aspirations of our young people, and Education Minister Adamu Adamu is sitting pretty in his easy chair as if nothing is going badly amiss?
And my friend Isa Ali Pantami who loves the glory of academia so much that he went out of his way to beg FUTO to confer an unearned professorial title on him is also pretending not to see as the university system is about to collapse completely before his eyes.
He loves the bragging rights that come with being called a “professor” but not the sacrifice it takes to save the university system whose highest titular glory he swanks.
Adamu Adamu and Pantami are far and away the closest ministers to Buhari. They can get the regime to meet ASUU’s demands and save what remains of our universities if they want to.
Will they do this for posterity and for the future of the children of the poor who can’t send their kids to private or overseas universities?
No rational, sensible person can defend or ignore a situation where full professors earn less than 500,000 naira (which is less than $1,000) per month!
There’s none of the demands of ASUU that I’ve read that can be called unreasonable. None.
