The senator representing the Kaduna Central District, Shehu Sani, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari’s government, of exhibiting “sadistic tendencies” towards the ongoing Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike.

He disclosed this on Monday in a series of tweets.

“In the cases of ASUU and the NLC, The Government has consistently demonstrated obduracy and sadistic tendencies.

“It’s important to understand the historical background of these trade unions; they are not politicians for summer, they are comrades always prepared for long winter,” he wrote.

Dr. Chris Ngige, minister of Labour and Employment, has already hinted that the strike may be called off soon.

Ngige revealed that funds had been provided to meet most of the demands of the union.
