Government and unfriendly to Nigeria Students.

Expressing his heartfelt towards continuity of the strike, Olaogun alleged ASUU of being wicked and tasked federal government to give equal attention to other academic unions to check mate alleged superiority of the union over others in education sector.
His words: "Its high time ASUU and federal government stopped fooling us. Just as ASUU has right to demand its right from FG, we equally have right to hitch free education"
"Before ASUU strike, there was ASUP strike. ASUP made its grievances known to the FG and they agree to settle the issue amicably without much ado even though FG doesn't meet up with the union's demands as of then yet the union called off its strike"
"ASUU is fighting for its own interest not ours and the union is guilty. Unlike ASUU, ASUP is on a just course, the union resumed strike recently due to failure of FG to honoured its agreement with the union just as the case of ASUU"
"Loo and behold, FG has offered ASUU a sum of one hundred billion naira for infrastructure and thirty billion for welfare of its members. Worst still, the strike persists when none of ASUP's demands has been reasonable treated." He added.
