Nigeria In Hopeless State, Situation Worse Than in 1984 - ASUU

 

The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has stated that the country has been left worse than it was many years ago.

 

According to ASUU, Nigeria has been plunged into a ‘hopeless state’ as a result of corruption and bad governance.

 

ASUU President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, stated this on Thursday at the 2024 Edition of ASUU State of the Nation Conference held in Abuja.

 

According to him, the conference with the theme ‘Nigeria in a State of General Crisis: The Search for a New Path to Development’ was convened to address the present hopeless state of the country as part of ASUU’s patriotic contribution towards recovering the country back to the Nigerian people.

 

Osodeke warned that the present foreign-controlled governance system that only serves the interest of a few predators, primitive accumulators and foreign organisations needs to be changed.

 

He said: “As the nation celebrates its 64th independence anniversary and looking back, it is sad to note that the situation is worse off today when compared to 1984.
