The minister of education, Malam Adamu Adamu, on Monday, angrily walked out of a meeting with University students, who were protesting over the incessant strikes by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

The minister had scheduled an impromptu meeting with the leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) who barricaded the entrance of the federal ministry of education at the Central Area in Abuja on Monday.

The students asked the minister to close down his office since he could not resolve the crisis between the Federal Government and ASUU, while also lamenting the failure of government to resolve ASUU strike after several years.

NANS national president, Comrade Sunday Asefon, said: “ASUU strike is killing education more and more. This strike has been affecting our lives since 1999 and Nigerian students want to be part of the discussion between federal government and ASUU to find a lasting solution to the matter.

“We want federal government and ASUU to, as a matter of urgency, call off this strike while negotiation continues. We want to go back to classes, if not this will be more than #EndSARS protest.”

But trouble started when in the course of the meeting, the students leadership questioned the minister for putting the education sector in a mess while sending his children to study abroad.

Adamu, who was not happy over the statement about his person, said he was disappointed with the students’ comments” and thereafter stepped out of the conference room.

Why has this not made front page? It's a shame that we celebrate and promote irrelevant issues while we push aside very important ones.. I weep for my nation Nigeria..its so unfortunate

Can you imagine that rudeness from leaders of tomorrow who are half-baked product of ASSU? They are only concern about academic and not character development. Student leaderships are not supposed to act like that, it can be put in better way than just talking rubbish; they want to mediate but instead causing more havoc.

Do some professors and lecturers don't also have their children schooling in abroad? I can't blame the minister for that; next time student leaders will learn how to improve their characters and be cautious in their speech when talking to people in authority. They can make their points without insulting people in authority, government is not only one to blame; ASSU have their share of blames also

Chaàaaàaiiiiiiiii just imagine this man .. seems you are schooling abroad

The truth is bitter!! But it's the truth
So sad the con3 is somehow, chaii!!

Smh at previous comments talking about respect.

Why should anyone have respect for someone that is responsible for a decline in the educational system today?
If he cannot at least show empathy to the plight of students, he deserves zero respect from anyone.
