ASUU strike will end when more private universities are established, says Imumolen
In another report, Accord Party presidential candidate Professor Christopher Imumolen has called on the Nigerian authorities to reduce the stiffness surrounding the regulation of the crucial sector to allow private players to inject excellence.
Imumolen gave this advice while lamenting the lingering industrial action of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at the DBI Institute, Cappa, Oshodi Lagos.
He stressed that education is the fulcrum that carries national development and human capital enhancement and that it should not be shut down as Nigeria is currently doing.
