Onyema, Odigie- Oyegun Appeal To ASUU To End Strike

- From Rotimi Agboluaje, Ibadan

AN alumnus of the University of Ibadan and Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace Airline, Allen Onyema, yesterday, appealed to members of the striking Academic Staff Union of Universiti­es ( ASUU) to end their protracted strike for the sake of the students.

Onyema made the appeal during the commission­ing of a 15- bedroom guesthouse he donated to the University of Ibadan Alumni Associatio­n ( UIAA).

He appealed to the striking workers to give the government the benefit of doubt because of the people brought up to address the lingering disagreeme­nt.

Onyema said: “We have to go back to discover our root. We need to rediscover those old glorious days. The current ASUU strike pains me. I use this opportunit­y to appeal to ASUU members for the sake of our children, for the sake of the wellbeing of the nation and wellbeing of our children to call off this strike.
