CHILDREN OF POOR SUFFER FROM ASUU’S STRIKE —Gov Akeredolu's Wife

Wife of Ondo State Governor, Mrs Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu has disclosed that children of the masses bear the grunt of incessant industrial action embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), in the country.

Speaking at the launch of a locally written Medical book titled, Essential Textbook of Medicine, at the main campus of Osun State University, Osogbo, she stressed the need for ASUU to reach compromise with a view to ending the strike action.


While stressing the need for policymakers to create an enabling environment for medical practitioners to excel in the country, when commending the authors of the book for extending the frontiers of medical education.

“We want more of this type of intellectual offering from our universities, particularly continuous medical research on breast and cervical cancer being a perennial malaise that is taking down our women exponentially.

“There is so much to do and academics must be on the front pew in finding lasting solutions to our myriad of challenges, including medical problems. It is on this note that calls on the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to find a middle ground towards resolving the lingering strike in the interest of our youths who usually bear the brunt, particularly the children from humble backgrounds.
