Responding to the proposed parents’ support on Thursday, the National President of ASUU, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, while featuring on Arise TV said;

“We can’t be calling ourselves the giant of Africa and we are the worst in education. You see students from Nigeria going to Ghana, Benin Republic, Togo, and other small countries to study but nobody from these countries is coming to Nigeria to study.

 

“So they should add to the pressure coming from ASUU to ensure that the government prioritises education. That is more important than the N10,000”.
