The Director General of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), Alhaji Salihu Mohammed Lukman has said frequent strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), is helping the Boko Haram insurgents to actualise their ideology of crippling western education in the country.

ASUU had on Wednesday, suspended its nine-month strike action conditionally, and promised to embark on a fresh strike if the federal government did not live up to the terms of agreement with it.

Lukman, in a statement on Sunday in Abuja, titled,  “ASUU and Indeterminate Power Struggle – The Boko Haram Logic”, said ASUU had spent over four years on strike in the last 21 years, adding that a fresh strike action was imminent in the first quarter of 2021.
