Probe Education Sector – ASUP Tells Buhari
Felix Okoye
Nigeria Polytechnic Community, under the umbrella of Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to probe the funding of the education sector at all levels.
According to the leadership of the group, corruption, misappropriation and embezzlement of funds have been the major issue militating against the growth of the sector.
This message was passed by the National President of the Union, Comrade Chibuzor Asomuga while speaking at Nekede Polytechnic Chapter of the Union in Owerri, Imo State.
According to him, the union totally supports the present crusade of federal government’s war against corruption.
Comrade Asomuga urged President Buhari to pay more attention to the education sector, adding that the government needs to do a reappraisal of funding of institutions at every level and track how the funds have been utilized.
On the agreement between ASUP and the Federal Government, Mr Asomuga said the former administration failed in achieving any of their agreement, after many promises that made them call off the over 12 months strike in all the polytechnics last year.
He however urged the present government of President Buhari to be more sensitive to the agitations and plights of the union.
