hello from this end, happy weekend guys we are gradually coming to the end of this year for some days now here in Nigeria it has been all joy for university students you might wonder why, well just keep calm I will definitely come to that.
Government owned university in Nigeria has finally resume academic session after the long strike by ASUU (Academic Staff Union of Universities) that lasted for 7 month the whole 2 academic session was cut off just like that, I still couldn't see the real reason the government kept mute and fail to respond to the strike in due time making it linger for 7 months. according to the words of the chairman of ASUU, the reason for the strike was the inability of the Nigeria government to meet the needs of the organization they also said many university staffs where owed salary.
so they came up as a body and make it known to the government but no one responded so they decided to go on strike and never come back if the government refused to give them answers. even yet the government where not able to pay off all the amount of money they owed ASUU, I fear another strike will come next year I pray it never happened hopefully the next president will be someone that have the future of Nigeria youth at heart.
while the strike lasted some students used it to Thier advantage in so many ways, some students learn trades and are now experts at it while some are now mother's to fatherless babies some are into cyber crime (fraud) while some joined arm robbery for quick cash. some are now no more interested in going back to school they are swimming in millions from the trade they might have learnt or illegally.
I know for a fact that if the presidential elections was not next year the strike will have definitely continue no one will have care to come to the rescue of Nigeria youths they know they will want our vote and that was why they hurriedly settled strike issue. the state at which my country is now we really need God almighty to help and calm the whole situation. this whole university strike have now giving me more reason why I should vote for the person I wish to vote for.
it is in situations like this I will say private owned universities are better that government owned university why because during the long strike private universities where still in session and students recieve lectures normally unlike government university. now students that are supposed to graduate the same year won't graduate the same year again because they have wasted Thier time in strike while private universities where seriously taking lectures now they will have to go and cover up the months they missed and trust me this year december feast will be really difficult because some students will be reading for exams instead of enjoying the holidays.
but all the same I am happy government university are back in session. thanks for reading my blog post feel free to drop your comments I will appreciate 🙏 thanks.
