by Oyagiri Chime-emeleThe Bayelsa State chairperson of the National Association of Nurses and Midwives (NANW), Comrade Andabai Sonia has stated that the Nigeria Labour Unions have slept for too long on the ASUU/Federal Government face-off.
Andabai, who queried why the government of the day should ground the education sector because their children school abroad, added that the federal government would be made to go back to the negotiation table with ASUU.
She hinted that the ASUU are not asking for much but to better the educational sector through infrastructural development and provision of research grants.
The number one nurse and midwife of the state also called on the Senator Douye Diri led government to look into the plight of the state school of nursing, though she acknowledged the government’s efforts.
She listed the lack of adequate hostel facility, teaching theatres and staff quarters as what is mitigating against the full upgrading of the school to a college status, wondering how the incoming students would cope.
Andabai, who hinted that she believe on the protest eliciting positive results, stressed that should it be otherwise, labour will commence an indefinite strike nationwide.
She urged all stakeholders to be law abiding, especially the student community, opining that crime would not be an alternative to the federal government’s insensitive to the prevailing situation in the educational sector.
