“Our children are threatened by the extension of their education period, hence, travel overseas to acquire education in places with lower education standards than their own country.”

He also appealed to the ASUU to reconsider their request and demand by bearing in mind that the country was currently facing more financial problems than ever before, and should not be inclined to exhibiting their past negative behaviour of insisting on strike for up to two months.

“We are calling on both parties to consider our children’s education by not letting the education of the common man decline, while their children are attending expensive private schools within and outside the country,” he added.
