Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, has criticized President Bola Tinubu's government for removing the fuel subsidy while failing to address the concerns of ASUU. In a statement, Atiku alleged that the government's deceitful actions have resulted in a lack of real support for education and worsened the problems in universities.
He pointed out that the government's removal of relief from citizens has left families struggling with rising costs of living and no tangible improvements in their daily lives. Atiku emphasized that the university crisis is indefensible, as the government has not fulfilled its promises to support education despite collecting supposed savings from the fuel subsidy.
He further criticized the government for leaving Nigerians to handle the economic challenges on their own, while lecturers continue to face unpaid salaries and unresolved agreements with ASUU.
