The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) have called for a bill to regulate how children of public office holders’ enroll in schools outside the shores of Nigeria.

This was made known by Prof. Kingdom Tombra, Chairman of the University of Niger Delta University Wilberforce Island chapter of the union, during the solidarity protest organised by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Tuesday in Yenagoa.

He said, “If this is done, it will build a better society by developing formidable educational institutions and improve funding of the university system in Nigeria.

“This struggle is not against government, but about the working class and against the ruling class and we are very committed to it.

“If the rich and poor go to the same university or institution, I don’t think the strike will occur again.

“If they school here and their children are here, they will show total support for the university system and the tertiary institutions in Nigeria,” he said.
