TUC URGES FG TO BORROW TO END CRISIS, FUND EDUCATION
The Trade Union Congress has called on the Federal Government to end the seven-month-old strike by borrowing if need be to meet the demand of the embattled members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
Its president, Festus Osifo, at a media parley with the Labour Writers Association of Nigeria in Lagos, noted that government should use part of the money earmarked for infrastructure to fund education.
According to him, the Federal Government is proposing borrowing N10 to N11 trillion to finance the nation’s budget midterm, stating that government should take out of it to fund the demands of ASUU.
