Many Nigerians have criticized Basir El-Rufai, the governor of Kaduna state’s son, for referring to the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, as a useless union.
In a tweet, Bashir asked that ASUU be scrapped and replaced by educators who genuinely care about the wellbeing of their student.
Nigerians rushed to social media to criticize this, blaming the All Progressives Congress, APC administration rather than ASUU for the protracted strike.
Listed here are some Twitter comments:
@Engr_Amab “Just because your father is a member of APC you now called ASUU useless with all the struggles that these renowned educators are going through, nevertheless they are the one that tutored your father!”
@Dayors “Scrap ASUU and leave the government that refuses to take the welfare of the educational system seriously in our nation? What will be the future of education in our nation?”
@aapara “He who wears the shoes, knows where it pinches. You didn’t school in Nigeria, so you can never know the problem with Nigerian education. Don’t blame ASUU, blame Nigerian politicians that turned deaf ears to the yearnings of Asuu. And your father is also a politician.”
@Kolakehinde77 “This is an unfortunate statement. Which educators are you referring to? Primary school teachers? Don’t be ridiculous.Both the academia and politicians in Nigeria ought to be sacked and replaced with competent citizens.”
@AuwalM “It’s sad that this is coming from you, I won’t blame you anyways but remember the ASUU union is not as useless as APC government.Rubbish talk.”

@Dube “Not as useless as Kaduna governor “little finger” that can’t secure a state after accusing someone not strong enough to secure a country.An example of “If you think wedding is easy, do child dedication let’s see” you shouldn’t be talking brother.”
@Frizzy “You really need to reevaluate your assessment of the whole thing if you think ASUU is the problem.”
@Abefe “Continue to leverage on your opportunity boy.You are free to say whatever you want because you’re a direct beneficiary of the rot in the system.Continue to open mouth gboaaaaa, because I can only imagine how you’ll say this verbally.”
@SayFriyoo “They should be scrapped for not caring about students you said ? What about their well being too and your fathers who deliberately don’t want us to go to school so people with no value of your kind can continue in power should be left to continue abi?
