Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU), has rejected the ongoing National Conference, noting that it
cannot solve the country’s problems.
According to its president, Dr. Faggae
Isa, while briefing journalists at the University of Calabar yesterday
in Calabar, what the country requires at the moment is genuine
transformation in all spheres.
He said, “The National Conference in its
conception ab initio, was conceived without democratic, national debate
and affirmation”.
He noted that what the nation needs is a
struggle for the transformation of the country into a socialist welfare
state and not a device for perpetuating the rule of the rich, powerful
and corrupt.
“A socialist welfare state will remove
the economic basis of the nationality problem, promote freedom of
religion in condition of equality of citizens and remove the basis of
state plunder and terror”, he added.
The ASUU boss decried the current spate
of insecurity in the country especially in the North-East, saying that
the foundation of the country is being shaken by the atrocities
perpetuated by insurgents.
He called on all who are committed to
the genuine reconstruction of Nigeria to embark on popular political
education, adding that a socialist welfare state is the true alternative
to enslavement to global liberalism.
