General Overseer, Hour of Mercy Ministries, Prophet Moses
Kasali, has appealed to the Federal Government to look into
the protracted industrial action by the Academic Staff Union
of Universities, ASUU, in order to forestall disaster that may
be of worse effect than the Boko Haram menace.
Kasali, said that the nearly four-months strike by the
Academic Union would have negative effects on the Nigerian
youth.
The cleric said, “The Federal Government should be alive to
its responsibility by averting the crisis besetting university
education. Prolonged strike can provoke worse tragedy than
Boko Haram in our country.
“A nation without focus in the area of education will be
backward. The youth, who are the leaders of tomorrow, will
be faced with problems.
“On the ongoing ASUU strike, I weep for Nigeria. We are in
a country where the children of the affluent and those in
government attend private universities and we claim to have a
government. It is profitable not to make a promise than failing
to fulfil promises.”
He bemoaned the state of schools in the country.
He said, “If those at the helm of affairs say there is no money,
where then should the money come from? Our universities are
like dungeons with sparse facilities. If we can’t vouch for the
quality of education in our universities what future does the
country have? The wheel of progress of the country is
grounding to a halt.
“We are really hurting our youth by mortgaging their future.
They are like wounded lions that may turn around and fight
back. We are pleading with President Goodluck Jonathan to
live up to his bidding by heeding the demands of ASUU; not
necessarily because of the university teachers but because of
the future of the country.”
