Leaders who have chaired the student leadership in the past has beckoned on the Federal Government to honour the agreement it entered with the Academic Staff Union of Universities to evade the collapse of educational sector.

According to the leaders, though the Federal Government had continued to appeal for the understanding of the striking lecturers, it was necessary for the government to show more commitment towards resolving the problem.

Mr. Amakiri Amakuro, Chairman of PARSLEAF, while deliberating on the situation in Port Harcourt, on Tuesday, said that the disagreement between ASUU and the Federal Government would have been resolved if government had responded swiftly on the warning notice of the union.

Amakuro also charged ASUU, other unions in the nation’s tertiary institutions and stakeholders in the educational sector to embrace peace and return to the negotiating table with government in the interest of the country.

Makuro who spoke under the umbrella of past Rivers State Students Leaders’ Forum, however appeal passionately to the Federal Government, ASUU and other stakeholders in the educational sector to sheathe their swords.
