JAMB Begs ASUU To Call Off Strike

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has appealed to the Academic Staff Union of Universities, (ASUU) to consider the plight of Nigerian students and suspend the ongoing strike.

JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, who made the appeal on Wednesday during an event at the University Of Ilorin (UNILORIN), said the industrial action is “UNNECESSARY”.

According to him, the incessant strike by the university lecturers was capable of causing irreparable damages on the affected students and even the nation’s economy.

He also acknowledges the fact that the primary responsibility of reasonable funding of public health and education institutions lies on the proprietors-the Government.
