Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu has asked the Nigerian students to sue the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASSU) and demand for compensation for the time wasted during the six-month strike.
The Minister stated this in his speech during the 47th Session of the State House Ministerial Briefing organised by the Presidential Communications Team at the Aso Rock Villa , Abuja.
According to the Punch, the minister noted that Federal Government will not concede to the union’s demand to pay lecturers their emoluments for the six months of no academic activities.
Malam Adamu insisted that the federal government bears no liability to compensate millions of students grounded for six months over lost time.
He also said if the students are determined to get compensated, they should take ASUU to court.
