ASUU Vs FGN

ASUU strike has been on for more than two months and FGN has been watching with "no-work-no-pay" threat. That's no solution to the problem on the ground. This is a test of our democracy. Let's have a win-win situation and get over this logjam. Is it a wait-and-see situation? If we cannot resolve this as giants of African politics, we need to invite experts and consultants on conflict resolution. We can find them in Nigeria like we found Sanusi. Without this approach, FGN is risking loss of confidence and political suicide especially with an attempt to cripple the union. There is no political future for this country if the only avenue of workers to ventilate their position through the trade union is crushed. A government that cannot handle the governed in a manner to retain public respect and relevance is ultimately going to have a weak foundation. I have faith in this government, but I am beginning to question the basis of that faith. This slow motion is creating a notion of ineptitude. Let's move forward and have the universities reopened with all issues in proper perspective.
