My honourable question for mr President this evenning: 1. ASUU has been on strike for months now over your administration’s refusal to honour the 2009 agreements reached with it. ASUP (polytechnic lecturers) has also threatened to resume its suspended strike on Friday over your government’s failure to fulfill promises made to it. Other unions in the educational sector – NUT, NASU and SSANU – are also threatening to sjoin forces with ASUU to effectively shut down the education sector. Why is your government insensitive to the plights of students and parents? What are you doing to strengthen our educational sector and ensure lecturers return to the classrooms? 2. Media reports suggest you travelled to the U.S. for the just-concluded UN General Assembly with a 600-member delegation. Your aides said the figure cited was inaccurate. Can you clear the air as to how many people accompanied you on this trip? What roles did these persons play at the event?
