Why Nigerians youths take to illicit substances, crime - ASUU

- The Academic Staff Union of Universities says Nigerian youths are revolting with drugs and crime because they have lost hope in the country

- The chairman of the union at the University of Ibadan, Dr Deji Omole, calls on the government to invest in education and not only infrastructure

- Omole says infrastructure being built at the expense of the youths would end up being sold by the youths because government failed to build the latter through qualitative investment

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has expressed displeasure over the rate at which Nigerian youths are revolting with drugs and crime as a result of losing hope in the country.

The union called on President Muhammadu Buhari to invest in the education sector, saying if there is no investment in education, all development plans being conceived for the country would fail.

According to the chairman of ASUU at the University of Ibadan (UI), Dr Deji Omole, more than ever before, the nation’s youths are revolting against the state with rising crime, The Guardian reports.

Legit.ng gathers that Omole stated that infrastructure being built at the expense of Nigerian youths would end up being sold by the youths because government failed to build the latter through qualitative investment.

He said: "We are entering 2019 on a sad note that our future is neglected for pecuniary gains of gerontocrats in government. They want to build infrastructure without investing in human capital that will run and use them.

“That is failure from the start. President Buhari should give Nigerian youths a future by showing concern for education. If only present Nigerian students are exposed to the little he learnt as student, we would not be on strike.

“It is their generation that enjoyed the best quality of education and it is their generation that is destroying it. The youths are becoming alienated and are revolting with drugs and crime. Only a committed investment in public education will salvage the future of Nigeria."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the federal government declared that talks with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) had so far been fruitful, expressing optimism that the ongoing strike would soon be called off.

The government’s optimism, according to the minister of labour and employment, Chris Ngige, was predicated on the federal government’s consideration of some of ASUU’s demands.

The demands include the submission of the union’s list of outstanding payments, and the identification of some areas in the universities in need of revitalisation as contained in the signed 2009 agreement.

The minister said talks with the union had so far been productive and fruitful, adding that the federal government was optimistic that the strike would soon be called off to pave way for students to resume academic activities.

He said: “There are areas that are still outstanding which we are going to address on the 17th. We have the issue of shortfall of salaries, that of some federal university workers. ASUU has given a list to the office of the Accountant General."
