President Buhari’s Daughter Graduates From United Kingdom Varsity Amid 7 Months Strike By Nigerian University Lecturers, ASUU

Zahra’s graduation comes amid an industrial action embarked on by public university lecturers across the country.

The strike is in its seventh month.

ASUU and the Buhari-led government have been at loggerheads over poor funding of universities and the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, a platform on which the government said all lecturers must be registered or they would not be paid salaries.

The disagreement between both parties has led to the closure of all government universities for the last eight months.
