Return to class room-Jonathan tells ASSUU

Ado-Ekiti – President Goodluck Jonathan on
Saturday in Ado-Ekiti appealed to members
of the Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU) to return to the classrooms in the
interest of their students.
He made the appeal at the inauguration of
the College of Engineering Complex at the
Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD),
Ekiti State.
The three-storey college complex was also
named after the President.
Jonathan urged ASUU members to heed his
appeal saying that whatever their
grievances might be, keeping students out
of school for four months was unpatriotic.
“I once again appeal to the entire
membership of ASUU to pause and ponder
on the adverse effect of their action on the
future of the vibrant youths of this great
nation.
“The collective destiny of tens of
thousands of tomorrow’s leaders should
not be held hostage to vagaries of labour
disputes.
“As long as we are humans, as long as we
are a developing society, this labour
dispute must come up.
“I always say that even in the developed
societies we hear about labour dispute;
and there is no society, even the most
developed, that has provided the facilities
for every worker. (NAN)
