The lingering seven months old strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is becoming unbearable for the president of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Dr Daniel Okoh as he has called for the immediate end of the industrial action.
Okoh made the appeal in his address during the interdenominational church service to mark the 62nd Independence Day at the National Ecumenical Centre, Abuja.
“I call on the Federal Government to do all that is necessary so that most of these youths will go back to the universities and engage with their studies.
“As it is often said that ‘idle minds are the devil’s workshop, idle lips are his mouthpiece,’” he said.
ASUU has been on strike since February 14, 2022 over monies the federal government has failed to pay lecturers and the poor education system in Nigeria.
