Danjuma called on religious leaders and traditional title holders with other educational stakeholders, non-governmental organisations, UNICEF, UNESCO in the country towards finding an amicable way out of the problems in order to bring an end to the strike.

“We don’t want our children to spend three months at home because of strike. we are begging the federal government to as a matter of urgency go back and resolved their matter with ASUU so that the children can quickly go back to classes,” he added.
