Following the official recession status of Nigeria, THE Academic Staff Union of Universities, Akure Zone, has urged the Federal Government to stop globe-trotting for solutions but look inward for homegrown solutions.
> >Coordinator of the zone, dr. Alex Odiyi, who threw the challenge while speaking with newsmen in akure lamented that adoption of World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) sponsored policies by the federal government has not in any way proffered any solution to the problems of the country.
"If we must solve our problems, we must stop looking abroad for solutions to our problems. Solutions abroad are not meant to proffer solutions for our problems in Nigeria: we must find solutions to our problems ourselves," they said.
He attributed the insecurity in the geo-political zones ranging from the Boko Haram in the North East, IPOB and MASSOB in the South East, NDA in the Niger Delta and many more to the hardship in the country.
ASUU also called for the immediate release of the white paper on the special visitation to the 8 universities established at the Twilight of the Jonathan administration and vowed to use all means in resisting continued implementation of the T.S.A which has hindered smooth running of the system.
also speaking, FUTA ASUU Chairman, Dr oniya said tertiary institutions in the country are blessed with academia and resource persons who can proffer solutions to the problems confronting the country in all ramifications.
