President Buhari has declared “enough is enough” and has urged Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) members to end their five-month str#ke.

He made his statement on Monday, July 11 while hosting APC governors at his house in Daura, Katsina state.

.
According to the President, the leadership of ASUU should reconsider their position on the continued str#ke, expressing worry that it would have generational consequences on families, the educational system and future development of the country.

The President claimed that the str#ke had already had an impact on the psychology of guardians, students, and other interested parties while causing numerous moral issues that urgently needed attention.

.
He said, “We hope that ASUU will sympathise with the people on the prolonged strike. Truly, enough is enough for keeping students at home. Don’t hurt the next generation for goodness sake.
.
.
Colonial type education was geared towards producing workers in government. Those jobs are no longer there. Our young people should get education to prepare them for self-employment. Now education is for the sake of education.
.
.
Through technology we are much more efficient. We should encourage our children to get education, not only to look for government jobs.
.
.
By this time next year, I would have made the most out of the two terms, and the remaining months I will do my best.”
