Members of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) have accused politicians of being obsessed with power and gross injustice to the society despite the continued industrial actions by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), IgbereTV reports
The NLC leadership currently engaged in their Central Working Committee meeting ahead of May Day commemoration on May 1, decried the lack of concern exhibited by the government for the future of Nigerian students.
The union noted that despite the ongoing indefinite strike by university lecturers across the country, political leaders were busy with preparations for the forthcoming elections.
President of NLC, Ayuba Wabba, at a press conference on Wednesday, fumed that government pays lip service to issues concerning education to the detriment of the Nigerian public.
“We are facing a period of great injustice on the downtrodden of the society, children of the poor are at home but the children of the rich are going to school, we have written several communications to the government but no response till date, rather they are busy discussing politics”
