It is quite a wonder when one considers education in Nigeria to be the ultimate and it turns out to be a joke. The issue of national strikes has become the most disturbing as the problems of financial settlement never gets solved by the power house. How can it be solved in a nation with cobwebs of problem wrapped around its delicate affairs? We live in a modern world where the pursuit of higher education is paramount but in a situation where our educational system suffers annual epileptic seizures, we can't but afford pitiable academic experiences.
Year in year out, we are often threatened by warning strikes thereby reducing optimum academic progress. The basis of education is gradually becoming less than what it originally was. With the alarming rate of unemployment in the country, one begins to wonder about the importance of higher education and opt for desperate means.
The hopeless strike embarked by the Academic Staff Union of Universities on July 2nd, has created a platform of options for the youths, which is limiting. One cannot finish school because of the strike and cannot be gainfully employed because he or she is yet to have a qualifying degree. With limitations as this for the seeming leaders of tomorrow, we can't but conclude that the stagnation is strongly supervised by the leaders of today. Yet, we have been adviced to dream big and never give up. That is one big nightmare that i will gladly give up..
