A Manifesto To Save Nigeria’s Public University By Kudus Oluwatoyin Adebayo

President Muhammadu Buhari has tasked the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and other trade unions to shun embarking on strike as a tool for pressing home their demands.

“Strike only compounds the already poor state of our education sector, and erodes the national and international reputation of our public universities,” Mr Buhari said at the 74th Foundation Day and Convocation Ceremonies of University of Ibadan (UI) in Ibadan on Thursday.

He was represented by Professor Abubakar Rasheed, the Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission (NUC).

Mr Buhari commended efforts of the university administration in maintaining the great reputation upon which the institution was established.

He appreciated the leading role of the institution in the postgraduate education and the production of the much needed academic staff for tertiary institutions within and outside Nigeria.

Mr Buhari said there was a need for discipline and stability in all universities which held the key to the future of any nation.

He said that it was disheartening that all the universities’ trade unions declared protracted trade disputes in 2022.

The president said that the disputes had dire consequences for the economy and unnecessary disruption of the academic calendar of universities.

He urged the organised private sector to continue its support for the education sector, adding that the government cannot do it alone.

In a remark, Sa’ad Abubakar Ill, the Sultan of Sokoto and Chancellor of UI, lamented the damage caused by the eight-month strike, adding that, “the worst hit are our children.”

Mr Abubakar stressed the need to improve the standard of education in Nigeria through collective efforts.

He said that the country had been providing workforce for other countries to show that its education sector was not the worst.

Also speaking, the Pro-Chancellor, UI, John Odigie-Oyegun, urged all stakeholders in the education sector to ensure a crisis free and uninterrupted academic calendar.

The Vice-Chancellor of UI, Professor Kayode Adebowale, said his administration had continued to tackle challenges associated with providing a healthy, safe and conducive environment for sound education.

No fewer than 153 candidates from various disciplines were awarded Doctor of Philosophy Degrees.
