President Muhammadu Buhari has indicted the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) of corrupt practices.The union has been on strike since February 14 over demands bordering on allowances and salaries of lecturers.
The president has pleaded severally with the union to call off the strike but the lecturers have stood their ground.
The president said: “This year’s summit will mirror how corruption undermines educational policies, investments and create an unfriendly learning environment for our youths.
“Incessant strikes especially by unions in the tertiary education often imply that government is grossly underfunding education, but I must say that corruption in the education system from basic level to the tertiary level has been undermining our investment in the sector and those who go on prolonged strikes on flimsy reasons are no less complicit.
