The presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has promised to bring a permanent end to the incessant strikes by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) if elected president next year.
Obi made the promise on Wednesday at a campaign rally in Jalingo, Taraba State.
He said the welfare of lecturers would be prioritised by his administration.
“The 50 months of ASUU strike in Nigeria since 1999 was a disaster against actualizing a productive nation through good education,” he said.
