Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehy Sani has waded into the lingering Academic Staff Union Of Universities strike which lasted for months.
The ex-lawamker suggested a way to end the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
Sani said money spent on politics in Nigeria can easily meet the demands of ASUU.
ASUU had been on strike since February 2022 over the Federal Government’s inability to meet a 2019 agreement.
The Federal Government had refused to allow ASUU to use their own generated payment platform, University Transparency Accountability Solution, UTAS, among other demands.
Amid the prolonged strike, President Muhammadu Buhari had urged ASUU to call off its industrial action.
In a statement issued by his spokesman, Malam Garba Shehu, Buhari had said “truly, enough is enough” for keeping Nigerian students at home.
“If you can calculate what is spent on politics,you will realise that this country can easily afford to meet the financial demands of ASUU with regards to our public university system.”
Sani tweeted.

@Otiti_otata: “I think it is very unfair to generalize, the former minister of state was from Imo state, the current minister of Labor and employment is of Anambra; why don’t we look at it from the perspective of the haves and the have-not. The change we seek today must start from us, ndewo”
@saleece: “The money you alone paid delegates during the primaries can pay all Kaduna State University lecturers for 6 months.”
@Ayoolaoluwasef2: “You are senator sir… Have you discussed this with others at all when you guys meet. Pepper them in the house of rep or Senate. Who knows you might be our future president. So pls start showing your good deeds.”
@adahobehira: “There’s no end to ASUU demand so long as politicians are on jumbo pay.Lecturers see themselves important than politicians with different allowance Na jealousy. Be there problems.”
