Chairman, Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU), University of Ibadan branch, Dr. Deji Omole has described
as shameful the fact that Nigeria under the President Muhammadu Buhari cannot
refine enough fuel for domestic consumption despite being the Minister of
Petroleum.
Omole while speaking on Wednesday
in Ibadan at a press conference on State of the Nation, stated that evidences
have shown that neither APC nor PDP has the solution to the problems facing
ordinary Nigerians.
He maintained that Nigerians
appeared to have been defrauded by the government when the President said he
would oversee the Ministry himself to get the desired change.
Omole while speaking further,
lamented that those leading Nigeria do not believe in the country and are not
committed to solving her problems.
He lashed out at the APC-led
Federal government saying that nothing would change in the Education and health
sectors since the President believes his children can school and graduate
abroad while he can access quality health care in the UK.
Noting that the Buhari government
is not serious about fighting corruption, Omole challenged the EFCC to make
public outcome on the petition the Union submitted to it on the corruption at
the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN).
He said nearly 75 percent of
Nigeria-trained qualified doctors have left the country while those at home are
planning to leave owing to the poor working conditions and bad welfare schemes.
“That we cannot refine oil for
local consumption let alone for export is a shame. This is still happening because
those leading us do not believe in Nigeria. It is unfortunate that those
leading this country run abroad for health, education and even save stolen
funds abroad.
“They only preside over a country
they do not believe in. The Government of Buhari has continued to slide down
the budget allocation to education.
“In Nigeria now, corruption is
official because the government only makes noise rather than fight the
scourge,” Omole stated.
