       Dr Adebayo Akinsanya, the Chairman, Academic Staff Union of
       Universities (ASUU), Tai Solarin University of Education
       (TASUED), Ijebu-Ode, Ogun, has urged stakeholders in the
       education sector to intervene in the current crisis.
       Akinsanya appealed to the stakeholders to prevail on the Federal
       Government to implementthe 2009 Agreement it had with the union
       to save Nigeria's education from imminent collapse.
       He told newsmen in Ijebu-Ode yesterday that the Federal
       Government is not sensitive to the plight of the union.
       According to him, government's insensitivity to the all
       important sector is killing the standard of education in the
       country.
       "Government said it wants the nation's universities to be
       amongthe first 500 in the world and yet it refuses to fund the
       education sector.
       "How can Nigeria universities achieve this noble idea without
       adequate funding and proper repositioning of the citadels of
       learning in this country?"
       He said that the current strike is not about allowances for
       lecturers, but about government doing what is needful to save
       theeducation system from collapse.
       Akinsanya said with the way things are, there are no signs that
       the strike will be called off soon.
       "Where has ASUU gone wrong in demanding for funding of the
       universities, intervention to statesuniversities, and autonomy
       of ouruniversities system," Akinsanya said.
       He said the union should not be blamed for the challenges facing
       the university system, but on government which failed to abideby
       the UNESCO budgetary allocation to education sector.
