Muslim Students Urge Tinubu to Prevent ASUU Strike During His Tenure

The Muslim Students Society of Nigeria (MSSN) has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to prioritize education and ensure that Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and other education unions do not embark on strikes during his tenure. The call was made by Miftaudeen Thanni, the immediate past Amir of MSSN in Lagos, during the society’s Annual Conference held at the University of Lagos.

Thanni emphasized the importance of investing in the education sector, stating that it is not a luxury but a necessity. He urged the government to pay more attention to education, youth empowerment, security, economic development, and infrastructure. The aim is to avoid future strikes by investing more in the education system.

Thanni further highlighted that investing in education contributes to peace as educated individuals are more likely to embrace dialogue, reject extremism, and seek peaceful resolutions to conflicts. Niyi Yusuf, the Chairman of the Nigeria Economic Summit Group (NESG), encouraged MSSN members to unite and focus on education to revive the prosperous era of Islam. He referred them to study the ‘Golden Age of Islam,’ which reflects a time when Muslims were leaders of the world.

The MSSN’s appeal to Tinubu is an effort to ensure that education remains a priority and to prevent disruptions caused by strikes in the future, fostering stability and progress in Nigeria’s educational system.
