CLO Seeks Stakeholders’ Intervention In Education Sector

The Civil Liberty
Organisation in Rivers State has called for stakeholders intervention in the crisis rocking the Nigeria education sector.
Spokesman of the group Comrade Livingstone Weche gave the call in Port Harcourt recently during the inauguration of the new executive of the National Union of Rivers State Students (NURSS).
He said the things needed in the transformation of other sectors of the Nigeria economy depended on the education sector which is the bedrock of development in any society and called for a collective effort to address the current crisis in the  sector.
The CLO Spokesman, called on the Federal Government to adhere to its avowed commitment to the development of the educational sector, by honouring all its agreements with the Academic Staff Union of Universities, noting that; “gone are the days when Nigerians breach rather than observe laws”.  He further pointed out that Nigerians are sensitised and will not subscribe to a leadership attitude that do not live up to its obligations.
He cautioned university teachers against poor attitudes to duties, stressing that they should see their job as a sacred one because they are involved in the business of intellectual development.
Weche also called on the new NURSS exco to use their position to re-ehoe the voice of students unionism rather than using the platform for self serving interest.
He  tasked the new NURSS leadership to serve as a vanguard of excellence in academic development, as the future of education depended on what projection they made at the presence.
