Will Private Universities Join ASUU’s Struggle?
Manage episode 518836614 series 3303024
As the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) continues its long-standing push for better funding and improved working conditions in Nigeria’s public tertiary institutions, a new twist has emerged in the nation’s education sector.
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is now calling on private universities to join hands with ASUU in its struggle, arguing that the challenges confronting public universities today could soon spill over into the private system if not addressed collectively.
But the call has sparked debate across the education landscape can private universities, often seen as profit-driven and independently managed, align themselves with a union known for strikes and industrial agitation?
Or are the two sectors simply too different to share the same platform?
