Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Government has been criticized over the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.<\/p>\n

Deji Adeyanju, convener of Concerned Nigerians, said it\u2019s unacceptable that the Federal Government can\u2019t properly fund public universities.<\/p>\n

He lamented that the public university system in Nigeria is built to frustrate students and lecturers.<\/p>\n

In a chat with DAILY POST on Sunday, the Abuja-based lawyer and rights activist, said the government wastes billions on irrelevant things but can\u2019t fund education.<\/p>\n

Adeyanju further backed the decision of ASUU to remain on strike.<\/p>\n

According to Adeyanju: \u201cOnly those who have a taste of what education should look like will support ASUU strike: I support the ASUU strike 100% because if you observe how properly coordinated and funded private universities are, then you will realize that our public universities are hellholes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole public university system in Nigeria is built to frustrate both students and lecturers. Government can waste billions on irrelevance but can\u2019t fund our universities. This is unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n
