The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) seem not to be pleased with the current project the first lady of Nigeria is about to take on as the commission has blasted Aisha Buhari.

Aisha made a reveal of the project which entails building a private university and naming it after her husband " Muhammadu Buhari University" last Saturday during a townhall meeting in Yola, Adamawa state stating that the project is in collaboration with partners from Sudan and Qatar... however, she did not disclose where the university would be situated. 

However, Recall that in recent times, the presidency has gradually reduced the budget allocation of the education sector since 2015... Thus, ASSU seem lamented on this issue.

Reports from Daily Post, stated that the ASSU Chairman, University of Ibadan Chapter, Mr Omole, happen to be displeased with this measure calling the proposed university by the First Lady a joke.

Omole said: “When I heard about the proposed private university to be named after Mr President, I just looked at it as a joke taken too far.

If we have a president in a country that has simply refused to fund public education and all we get from the first family is to establish a private university in collaboration with some foreigners, it is a disaster for this country and for a sitting president.

“The implication is that Nigerians should know that this leadership does not believe in public funded education”.
