ASUU Strike: ‘Don’t Force Youths To Revolt’

The Catholic Bishop of
Nsukka Diocese, Rt. Rev. Professor Godfrey Onah, has condemned the attitude of politicians and public office holders who are not concerned about the plight of youths and the generality of the masses.
Onah, who spoke during the funeral mass for Lolo Josephine Oyima Abba, mother of the Enugu State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Engr. Vita Abba at Ede-Oballa, in Nsukka Council Area of Enugu State, warned that such neglect could force the youths to revolt against the leaders.
He cautioned political leaders to retrace their steps, as it would not be possible to quench the indignation of Nigerian youths who may soon run out of patience with the leaders over the poor treatment they are getting from government.
The bishop cautioned that it would be difficult to stop the youths if they were further pushed into frustration and challenged the government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, on the reasons behind the over three-month-old industrial action that has paralysed academic activities.
The bishop said from his interactions with Nigerians, the inability of both parties to end the lingering strike was unjustifiable and inexcusable.
