ASUU Gears Towards Sponsoring ‘Bring Back Your Children’ Bill At NASS

The National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Emmanuel Osodeke, has lamented that the government has abandoned education, vowing that the Union will soon sponsor a bill at the National Assembly called “Bring Back Your Children”.

He said that Nigerian leaders have killed education and then look for other countries to send their children to study, declaring that ASUU will mobilise Nigerians to march to the National Assembly to demand that the bill be passed for all elected public officers to send their children to Nigerian public schools.

Osodeke stated this in his speech at a one-day state of the nation summit’ organised by the Bauchi zone of the Union with the theme: ‘Nigeria: The State of the Nation,’ held at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi on Thursday.

He said, “Today, the leaders of this country and those who control our wealth have completely abandoned education. Today, this country is reaping the work of our abandoning education.

“The leaders, after abandoning and killing our education, took their children to school in countries where education is invested in.

“We are going to storm the National Assembly with a Bill which will be titled “bring back your children”.

“We are going to mobilise the students, the NGOs and all of us will storm the National Assembly and we will ensure that that Bill is passed. If you get Nigeria’s resources, then your children must be in Nigerian schools whether it is primary, secondary or tertiary institutions.

“I’m sure if all the children of all these people are in this country, our education will not be where it is today, they will pay attention to it. But they don’t care that your own child goes to school. He said, “Today, the leaders of this country and those who control our wealth have completely abandoned education.
