The Academic Staff Union of Universities, not the Federal Government, should be paying students for the time lost during the six-month strike, according to Minister of Education Adamu Adamu.
According to Punch, the Minister who made the statement during his speech at the 47th State House Ministerial Briefing, which was held at the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja and was organized by the Presidential Communications Team, further urged affected students to “take ASUU to court” to seek compensation for losses they incurred during the strike period.
Adamu insisted that the federal government bears no liability to compensate millions of students grounded for six months over lost time.
He also said if the students are determined to get compensated, they should take ASUU to court.
