President Muhammadu Buhari has urged the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), to always embrace peace in the quest to better education in the country.
Speaking during the 36th Convocation Ceremony of the University of Ilorin on Saturday, October 23, the president said, “Let me also use this opportunity to appeal to members of the academic staff of our universities to embrace peace.
They should realise that dialogue is always better than conflict. No one gains from crisis. While government alone cannot solve all challenges facing a society, this administration is willing to listen to complaints and alternative points of view to managing a situation.
The university system cannot withstand any crisis now considering the time it had lost to Coronavirus pandemic. I urge the leadership and members ASUU to give always give peace a chance.”
