The optimism of the Nigerian youths as we welcomed the year 2022 is being washed down the drain right in front of our eyes, like surviving the pandemic that paralyzed the entire nation’s socio-economic life in 2020 was not enough.
February 14, 2022, was when the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) declared a warning strike, followed by an extension after the 30-day ultimatum elapsed without their demands met by the Federal Government, five months later, the strike still lingers on with no hope in sight.
Dreams of the Nigerian youth populace are been shattered as the education sector, supposedly the backbone of the nation’s development is crippled and the development of the students arrested.
The loss being incurred by the students, lecturers and parents alike are unquantifiable, and the way the government wastes our future is traumatic to our psychological effect which will reveal itself in the future.
The whole of 2022 so far has been retrogressive to the education sector and the quality of education and the state of schools are deteriorating at an alarming rate.
Education is a right, not a luxury but the Public tertiary education system in Nigeria is waning and drastic action must be taken to revitalize the education sector in comatose, else there will be no hope for a better tomorrow.
A very disheartening case to be honest.
