Private universities in the North-West say the protracted ASUU strike has increased their admission figure.
The meeting is to deliberate on solutions to the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
The decision to again extend the strike for the fourth time was taken after the council met at its headquarters at the University of Abuja.
Adamu Bargo, a spokesman for KASU described Mr Osodeke’s comments as “irresponsible, unguarded, misleading and derogatory”.
ASUU claimed that the government imposed the ongoing strike action on them, and has encouraged it to linger because of its provocative indifference.
Mr Adamu’s briefing further revealed that the end of the strike is not in sight.
‘Bashir’ trended for over 24 hours on Twitter following Peoples Gazette’s exclusive report that stirred collective outrage among citizens.
“Who is asking them (Federal Government) to borrow? They have the money,” Mr Osodeke said.
“ASUU leaders too should be considerate in their demands in the interest of the future of our children because our children are suffering as a result of the incessant strike.”
The disposition of some Nigerians to a social scourge afflicting everyone is that of a buck-passer and blame-barterer.
