       Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, hasexpressed worries
       over the prolonged strike embarked upon by Academic Staff Union
       of Universities, ASUU, and urged the Federal Government to
       hasten peace moves in the interest of Nigerian students.
       PFN, in a statement by its National President, Rev. Felix
       Omobude, in Benin City, Edo State, yesterday, acknowledged the
       alleged failure of the Federal Government to honour the
       agreement reached with ASUU in 2009, and appealed to parties to
       find urgent solution tothe problem so as not to destroy the
       university system.
       He said: “While PFN salutes the spartan courage of the
       leadership of ASUU for its positive position on the urgent need
       to revamp and reposition the education sector, PFN is of the
       strong view that the need has arisen to bring into sharp focus,
       the crushingbrunt the country is now being made to bearfor the
       continued closure of the universities.
       “PFN appeals to ASUU not to throw away the baby with its bath
       water but should return toclass as soon as possible in the
       interest of parents, students and indeed, the country.”
       It urged the Federal Government to treasure the integrity that
       goes with honouring agreements by implementing the said
       agreement with ASUU with candour and greater commitment as that
       will reposition and service the education sector on continuous
       basis, instead of waiting to be stampeded into action by
       strikes.
       PFN called on “the three tiers of government to urgently address
       the issues of insecurity and unemployment currently posing
       serious threat to millions of Nigerians. We urge government at
       all levels to, as a matter of urgency, address the issue of
       unemployment in the country with particular emphasis on youth
       restiveness.”
