President of the Muslim Association of
Nigeria, (MAN), Alhaji Sulayman Yusuf, has
called on the Federal Government to bring a
lasting solution to the protracted strike
embarked upon by the Academic Staff union
of Universities (ASUU) and the Nigeria
Medical Association (NMA).
He also charged the striking Unions to come
to terms with the government so as to restore
credibility to the country educational system
and ensure safety of lives.
“MAN is not happy with these strikes. Our
schools and hospitals are paralyzed; what
kind of graduates do we intend to produce if
our ivory towers remain locked? What
message are we passing on to the
international community? Nigerians will be
sidelined for international job because our
graduates would be considered half-baked.
People are dying because doctors are not on
ground to attend to them. We need to show
love and mutual understanding to one
another. The parties involved should provide
long term solutions to these crises as soon as
possible.”
Yusuf also called on the Boko Haram sect to
sheath their swords and imbibe the good
culture which Islam is noted for.
He said: “We request that Boko Haram reach
a ceasefire agreement with Federal
government. If we show love to one another,
it would help check insecurity in the country.
