IN solidarity with the struggles and ongoing strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the Association of Nigeria Aviation Professionals (ANAP) has charged the Federal Government to end the ongoing strike action of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) or they will shut down the aviation sector.
This information was contained in a statement by the general secretary of ANAP, Comrade Abdulrasaq Saidu, who noted that the continued stay at home by students of tertiary institutions has added to social vices in the country as students now engaged in unsavoury activities capable of destroying their future.
ANAP stated that they will join in the strike in solidarity by closing the aviation sector if the government did not take urgent necessary steps to address ASUU’s demands.
The Association noted that the over four-month strike has ridiculed the educational system and making it a laughing stock before the world.
“Our children are using eight years to read courses of four years with resources being wasted. We cannot continue this way,” the statement reads in part.
The union then warned that their members will align with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) position on protest against the unfortunate situation in the tertiary education sector.
It added that all members have been put on alert in solidarity actions on the directive of Nigeria Labour Congress at very short notice.
