The Truth behind the Saga behind the ASUU strike looming in Nigeria?

  • 1

The looming strike action between the Government and the University governing body in Nigeria is like a Maze without an end.

Up till now, most Nigerians are perplexed about the degrading relationship between the two parties.

As a concerned Nigerian, I would really love to know the nitty-gritty behind the brouhaha that has lingered over 15 years.

Any ideas?
