ASUU strike: My two children are affected – Ex-minister, Nwajiuba

Former Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba has said that his two children are also affected by the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

Nwajiuba made this revelation while expressing his apology to Nigerians, noting that he took responsibility for the lingering strike by ASUU.

The presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 election said this on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.

The Informant247 had reported that Nwajiuba, resigned his appointment last week, in the cabinet to face squarely his presidential ambition.

He said: “I do apologize to Nigerian students because as their minister, I will take responsibility.

“But also, on behalf of the Federal Government, I would say ‘please understand what the issues are’.

“All my four children have passed through Nigerian universities. I still have two who are at home now because they are all in public universities.”
