INDEFINITE STRIKE LOOMING IN AKSU: WERE THE PROMISES MADE BY AKWA IBOM GOVT. A MERE LIP SERVICE ?

 Barely a month that the strike actions of the state owned university were called off almost immediately after the intervention of the state government,  today the same university is under lock and key,  hence the academic activities become truncated. 

Some people,  media --printed and non-printed had went agog singing the gentile praises that the government had timely swing to action in rescuing the ill-fated day of the strike of the institution.

Today,  one is helpless,  but very curious to ask: were the promises made by the state government a mere puff?  Who is fooling who?  Those encomiums,  were they orchestrated or instigated by party faithfuls?  Why is there a circular pasted on the school entrance barring students and staff from entering the school premises?

 Why is ASUU,  NASU AND NAAT of the institution embarking on strike?  Obviously,  your guess is as good as mine. It's about time we kept not in deceit. The state government should materialize their promises,  pay the staff their entitlements.

 This government is underperforming,  under-encouraging and under-funding the educational sector----retired primary school teachers are wailing, sweating and weeping for their entitlements,  yet this government has sent its ears on perennial exile. This is untold and untoward! This does not represent who we are as a people and polity named after God. 

Let government wake up to its responsibilities!
