Again, when health workers are on strike, it is the masses that that pay the price, because our government officials do not patronize the dilapidated government hospitals. And now disgustingly, the university lecturers are on indefinite strike and our innocent children are at home, but surprisingly, the government is not ready to implement the said agreement to call off the strike.

I therefore advise the striking lecturers to use different tactics in pressing their demands home as masses are always at the receiving end. And for the focus-less, senseless and irresponsible government, they should know that strike is a set back to our development, they should dialogue with workers especially lecturers because education is very important to any serious nation.
