The Presidential Candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar has pledged to end the lingering strike by university lecturers in the country, from his first day at work, if elected the next president of the country.
According to Atiku, the industrial action which has denied university students in the country access to education for a period running into four months is disgraceful and thus will receive his first attention as president if voted into office in the February 16 presidential election.
Atiku also promised to “triple the amount the Nigerian Government spends on education from 7 per cent of its budget today, not just to the 15 percent recommended by UNESCO, but to 20 per cent”.
