Breaking The Agreement With ASUU Will Make Nigerians Believe Less In Buhari’s Govt – Sultan of Sokoto

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar has come out to urge the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari to honour the agreement which the Federal Government reached with the Academic Staff Union of Universities in 2020.

He recently revealed this while speaking in Ibadan, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, FG should do everything possible to honour the agreements with the lecturers, else public universities will be made to face another avoidable strike.

He added that Buhari must ensure his regime do not renege on the agreements to preserve people’s faith in his government.

His words, “I will like to request that the visitor should please look into the request by ASUU. We have just heard that an ultimatum has been given to the government by ASUU. I will like to call on the government to look into ASUU’s requests.”

“Where agreements were made and reached, uphold such agreements. A good person upholds any promise made to anybody. As Muslims, we know that almighty Allah does not say what he cannot do. It is terrible in the eyes of the Almighty to say what you cannot do.”

“If the government has entered into any agreement with ASUU, please try and redeem such agreements so that our universities can remain open and our children remain in school for the betterment of our great country.”
