Take ASUU To Court For Time Wasted – Minister Of Education To Students

The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, on thursday, said it is the responsibility of the Academic Staff Union of Universities to compensate students for the time wasted during the six-month strike, not the Federal Government.

He also said the government will not agree to the union’s demand to pay lecturers their emoluments for the six months of no academic activities and suggested that the  students should “take ASUU to court” to claim damages incurred over the strike period.

The Education minister said this at the 47th Session of the State House Ministerial Briefing organised by the Presidential Communications Team at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.

According to him, the federal government bears no liability to compensate millions of students grounded for six months over lost time.

He also said if the students are determined to get compensated, they should take ASUU to court.
