Ngige Reveals He Won’t Give ASUU The Chance To Go On Strike Again Because His Children Suffered From It.
Minister of Labor and Employment, Chris Ngige has vowed that he won’t give the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) the opportunity to go on another strike because his children suffered from the just concluded 9-months strike.
The Minister who made the vow in an interview on Channels Television on Wednesday December 23rd, 2020, said three of his biological children were victims of the strike.
He further stated that two out of the three are American citizens and he had the chance of leaving them to go study in the United States and enjoy the free education, but he didn’t because he values Nigerian education.
According to him; “I will not give ASUU the opportunity to go on strike. Because I have three biological children that suffered from this imbroglio that we found ourselves in and about 15 people on my scholarship in Nigerian Universities.
“My three biological children are here in Nigerian Universities. They even went to secondary school here. Two of them are American citizens and I had the option of leaving them to go study in America and enjoy the free education or whatever, but I didn’t. So, I am a committed parent. I am involved, even more than some ASUU members because some of them have their children in private schools.”
