Resumption saga: ASUU or FG, who's to be blamed

 There have been controversies pertaining to the reason why there is delay in the resumption of academic activities for universities. The war between ASUU and Nigerian government seems to be an unending one. Issues and disagreement are always arising between them.



An African proverb says “when 2 elephants fight, the grasses around suffers most”.

The proverb is highly applicable to the dispute between the Academic staff union of universities and Federal government.



It's been 7 months since academic activities were suspended indefinitely as a result of the widespread of Corona virus though ASUU was already engaged with indefinite strike before the lockdown. With situations on ground, schools are eligible to resume academic activities but ASUU said that resumption won't proceed until the government attend to their demands.



The government on its side isn't taking any bold step to ensure they attend to ASUU so that academics will resume Successfully.

This disagreement between ASUU and the government is having more negative effect on students. They're earnestly awaiting resumption but it's a pity that there expectations are always being quenched by the actions of the government and Academic staff union of universities.

The most concerned students have started a protest. The protest created 2 parties among the students

  1. The ones blaming ASUU for their inability to consider the federal government and resume academic activities then continue their dispute resolution.
  2. The ones blaming the federal government for being stone-hearted towards granting ASUU their wish even though they're capable.

ASUU on its side have pleaded with students to bear and cooperate with them because watever they (ASUU) do is for their (student's) benefit. ASUU went further to say that if not for them, the government won't care about Nigerian education system.

In a situation like this, whom is to be blamed? ASUU or FG
