He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, it has become important for the House to intervene in the extended face-off between the Academic Staff Union of Universities and the Federal Government because the stalling is taking too long.
Femi added that the agenda is to explore whatever options there are for parliament to help resolve the present crises so that the kids can return to school.
His words, “It has become necessary for the House to intervene in the extended face-off between the Academic Staff Union of Universities and the Federal Government. This current impasse is due primarily to disagreements over conditions of service of the staff and funding of universities in general.”
“Therefore, this afternoon, alongside the leadership of the House and the relevant committees, I will meet with representatives of the ASUU. Our agenda is to explore whatever options there are for parliament to help resolve the present crises so that our children can return to school.”
“It is long established that access to education, more than anything else, is key to unlocking prosperity and improving social mobility outcomes in any society. And we all agree that the government has a role in ensuring that our nationβs young people get a quality education that allows them to compete and thrive in the 21st-Century knowledge economy.”
“Yet, evidence abounds that the current framework of government-sponsored tertiary education is no longer working as it should and hasnβt worked for a long time. Our immediate goal is to do everything to get our children back to school. However, the time has also come to begin a candid assessment of the current system and to consider all available options for complete reform. We owe this to our children and to our nationβs future.”
