Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP, has threatened President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government over the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.<\/p>\n

SERAP threatened to institute legal action against Buhari\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

The body accused the Federal Government of violating the educational right of poor children in the country.<\/p>\n

In a tweet, SERAP lamented that ASUU had been on strike while children of politicians attending private universities have been in school.<\/p>\n

SERAP described such a scenario as a crime against humanity.<\/p>\n

\u201cBREAKING: The ASUU strike, which has kept poor children at home while the children of Nigeria\u2019s politicians attend private schools, is a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re suing the Buhari administration over its violation of poor children\u2019s rights to education and equal protection,\u201d SERAP tweeted.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that ASUU has been on strike since February 2022. This was after they returned from a previous industrial action.<\/p>\n

The latest strike was borne out of Federal Government\u2019s refusal to allow ASUU to use their own generated payment platform, University Transparency Accountability Solution, UTAS, among other demands.<\/p>\n
