THE Federal Government has pleaded with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to make a sacrifice and suspend its on-going industrial action in the interest of the nation.
The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, Mrs Ibukun Odusote; who has been at the centre of the efforts to resolve the crisis, appealed the members of ASUU to make some sacrifices as parents to secure the future of Nigeria children.
Mrs Odusote made the appeal while addressing the delegates of the African Students Union Parliament (ASUP), led by its Speaker Kewul Abel in Abuja on Tuesday.
The ASUP delegation was on a courtesy visit to the permanent secretary; where they honour and presented her with the Pan African Leadership Award for Excellence.
The permanent secretary said: “I am appealing to ASUU members, who are also parents, that there are some sacrifices that some people have to make so that the future of our children can be secured. If our children are sitting at home at a critical time like this, with the year coming to an end, and the nation preparing for a national election. The tendencies that they will start running into political groups for vices engagement are high.”
“Therefore, it is in the national interest that the on-going industrial action embarked upon by ASUU be amicably resolved through social dialogue for our children to continue their educational pursuit,” The Permanent Secretary said.

Buhari and APC must stop looting in national interest
BUHARI’S CORRUPTION LIST: N7bn+ spent to beef up security in unity schools. CBN confirms Buhari gov’t withdrew $3.2bn from NLNG dividend account in 3 years.
N5.6bn food intervention! Buhari-Osibanjo where is the food?Osibanjo answer the question.! Saraki flares up over use of $1.05bn NLNG dividends for fuel subsidy. Again, Senate uncovers “illegal” $1.151bn withdrawals from the dividends accounts of the NLNG by the NNPC. This is apart from the $1.05bn NNPC boss Maikanti Baru earlier admitted to. FG spend N3.5million monthly to feed El-Zakzaky. Buhari has $500k to give guinea Bissau for elections but keeps borrowing to sustain economy. Buhari wants to sell govt. Assets to fund 2018 budget. Nigeria to spend N1.6trillion on oil subsidy this year 2018 and petrol is still N145 per litre. School feeding programme cost $1.8million USD a day (N66billion spent already). where is the food? ..and again buhari seeks NASS approval for $2.78 eurobond 5months to presidential election, why? Again Buhari borrows $328million USD from China to boost ICT. N86 million naira has been budgeted for buhari’s hair cut in one year. INEC budgets N6bn to feed only police. Buhari where is the food?
Where is the power? Where are the road? 2.75trillion and there is nothing to show? Is this fighting corruption?
We will all be dead by the time Buhari is done changing us!
BUHARI IS THE LOOTER!!!!
How much more does Buhari need to achieve? Some Members of NASS stole N481 billion naira from 2016 budget and Buhari is quiet about it. Buhari where is the money, lagos high court is asking. Nigeria’s industrial production has fallen by 41% – AfDB. Buhari approves a whooping 10billion naira for rehabilitation of benue community after supporting their killings but protects fulani herdsmen killers. Why? What is genuine about this? Amechi and Buhari – where is the $46billion external loan for rail, road project? Buhari did not consult NASS first but Buhari approves, withdraws and spends $1billion to buy arms. The same arms for which Buhari jailed Dasuki and Metu. Who will jail Buhari? Buhari, Emefiele and Adeosun collectively carted away $462 million for Jet fighters and helicopter only and without NASS approval and that has been swept under the carpet. Falana wanted NASS to probe Buhari for unconstitutional withdrawal of $496million from excess crude account. This has been swept under the carpet. Reps panel question missing $202million belonging to NIA. Who stole the money? Senate gets N18 billion per anuum as running cost. Fuel subsidy payment rises to 24 billion naira monthly. 1.4trillion naira paid on subsidy without NASS approval. Yet Fuel sold for 200 naira per litre. Buhari’s FG spends 1.54trillion naira to service debts in just 9 months. Yet debt has risen to N21.7 trillion. Where are we heading? $500million Abacha loot gets missing. Why did Buhari give 8 dead people appointment when 7.9million living people lost their jobs in one year? Buhari, minister for petroleum! Where is $1.486billion Agip remittance. 7.9million Nigerians who previously had a job became unemployed in 21 months of Buhari’s administration. 4 million Nigerians who previously had a job became jobless in 2017.
Someone help Nigeria! Ghost companies lift N1.1trillion crude oil. Anyone, please? APC IS A STINKING KITCHEN!
How many times does Buhari want to purchase vessels in this administration? Looting by Buhari is getting out of hand.
About Half of excess crude ($1billion) has been emptied by Buhari in the name of fighting boko Haram? This happened after paying £3million to the same Boko Haram to release Chibok girls, yet not all were released. Is Boko Haram a cooperation? How do we classify this kind of looting by Buhari? Wow! Why did Buhari set aside N50billion NNPC account to himself? Buhari is minister for petroleum and stealing N30billion in just one month – October 2017. What about other months? Nigeria’s foreign reserve hits $38.7bn. Nigeria’s debt has grown by N8.1 trillion in just 2years of Buhari’s administration. Nigeria’s debt stock hits N20.37 trillion. Moody has downgraded nigeria’s economy from B1 stable to B2. Nigeria is very sick right now.
Why does Buhari want to borrow N1.6trillion to fund 2018 budget?This is crazy.
1. Just about 10% of 2017 budget has been implemented yet Buhari seeks N8.612trillion for 2018 budget.
2. Where is the money for the non-implemented budget of 2017? This is the reason the NASS is worried about Buhari’s N8.612trillion.
3. What about the 90% non-implemented budget of 2017?
4. Why were journalists barred from covering 2018 budget presentation by Buhari?
5. Also, there was no consultation before presentation, between the executive vs MDAs and NASS.
6. Buhari cannot account for N11trillion of 2016, 2017 budget.
7. Something is wrong with Buhari and his corrupt APC. What is Buhari with his corrupt APC hiding? Here we go again!CORRUPTION!
Buhari buried Nigeria in recession. Nigeria owes African development $400 million, Yet Buhari wants to continue to borrow for corrupt APC to loot. Why would National Assembly spend N500 billion as running cost? What are they running/paying for, after earning senate salary of N3billion per annum and reps spending N6.1billion to by cars? Nigerians are hungry and suffering. What is happening to this corrupt administration? Buhari and his corrupt APC are deliberately punishing Nigerians. EXCESS (CRUDE) OIL REVENUE HITS $36.6MILLION DAILY and Buhari still wants to borrow more money to give his corrupt politicians to loot more. DEEP OFFSHORE PROJECTS IN OIL AND GAS CONTRIBUTES $90BILLION IN REVENUE. Yet Nigeria are very hungry and poor. Lie lie lie Buhari and APC. All they do is lie. They lied to us again. Why is FG still borrowing again and again if we have exited recession? This is the 4th time they are borrowing since they declared Nigeria out of recession. The 1st one was 7.51 trilion naira, 2nd one 100bn naira sukuk offer, the 3rd on $5.5bn euro bond and 4th one $5.5bn loan. This looting is just too much now. Things are rather getting worse despite all these borrowings. WHY? Where is the money EFCC has recovered? APC is LOOTING more than PDP. Buhari and APC, you took away food from people’s table. Enriching themselves, Senators earn 3bn per annum. They have exited recession but This is how nigeria exits from recession; this is how Buhari economy is improving compared to GEJ administration:
A. 1 dollar = 367 naira now (160 naira before) we are still waiting for 1 dollar = 1 naira
B. 1 litre fuel = 145 naira now (98 naira before)
C. 1 bag of rice = 18,000 naira now (8000 naira before)
D. 1 cup of beans = 110 naira now (40 naira before)
E. 1 cup of garri = 50 naira now (10 naira before now)
F. Boko Haram not defeated till now
G. FG’s baby called Fulani herdsmen is still raining havoc.
H. Inflation has increased 600%
I. FG still borrowing 7.51trillion naira, yet claiming that we are out of recession.
J. People committing suicide everywhere because of suffering / hardship
K. Nigeria had one of the world’s highest economic growth rates, averaging 7.4% according to the Nigeria economic report released in July 2014 by the World Bank. Today, Nigeria’s poverty index is 20yrs’ high, predating late Abacha administration.
L. Where is the N10.9bn naira budgetary allocation for Aso Rock clinic. This money could fund the clinic and all public hospitals in Nigeria but Buhari and APC looted it.
M. Buhari, APC, FG and military enforce ethnic cleansing by killing innocent and unarmed igbo people in nigeria while condemning ethnic cleansing in other parts of the world. The law does not apply to him
Buhari’s APC is the virus that is eating away the life of Nigeria. Nigeria must be vaccinated against this dangerous virus called APC. Buhari, osibanjo and APC, you should be ashamed to make any reference to Nigerian state and economy today. You cannot deceive Nigerians anymore. You are a fantastically corrupt government, David Cameron was right.
