ASUU Strike Will Never Happen Under My Administration – Atiku

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has stated that if he is elected, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) won’t go on strike.

According to Atiku, his administration would ensure that the inability of the government to end the ASUU strike never occurs again.

He spoke on Friday in Abuja at the celebration of the International Youth Day in 2022.

Atiku stressed that the most important and fundamental right of any youth is the right to education.

He said:

“Therefore, I take very strong exception to the strike by ASUU. The inability of the government to resolve that crisis will never happen under a PDP government or administration that I will oversee.

“I have been investing in education for the past 30 years.”

The former Vice President promised to work with the university authorities in bringing to an end the incessant strike.

“I believe the PDP provides the best platform for you to actualise your individual, collective aspirations,” 

ASUU has been on strike since February 14 over the federal government’s inability to honour their 2009 agreement.
