Al-Mustapha Pleads With ASUU, FG Over Lingering Strike

ASUU MEETING WITH VICE PRESIDENT NAMADI SAMBO IN ABUJA RECENTLY

Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, former Chief Security Officer to late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, has decried the lingering face-off between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

Speaking in Lafia, Nasarawa State capital on Tuesday when he met with youth leaders, Al-Mustapha pleaded with ASUU to call of their over three-month old strike as every day lost is a disaster to the nation.

He said, “When I went to Kaduna, I begged student leaders and ASUU, I also begged the federal government for them to find a solution to the problem”.

The former security aide while justifying his call on the FG and ASUU to find an amicable and quick resolution to the strike that has grounded academic activities to a halt in the nation’s universities said, “We should not be seen as producing half-baked leaders for this country tomorrow.”
