President Umaru Musa Yaradua would have called off the Strike

Unknown to many people Yar adua, the first graduate president of Nigeria was a Lecturer at College of Art Science in kaduna state prior to him becoming the Governor of Kastina State before he inevitably made it to become the numero uno citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Perhaps when he was alive his merits were not appreciated enough, he single handedly brought the Niger Delta Militants to a truce and we saw in our daily papers how the Militants dropped their weapons and it makes me wonder, what exactly is President GEJ selling point? why cant he find a way to cajole this Boko haram menance? is he just playing the waiting game and allow these Terrorists to rob innocent lives?
ASUU strike is more than 100 days old today, i say a big happy birthday to it. And it makes me remember that fateful day of the election when i saw the smiling faces of the young and old alike trooping into the polling center to vote for GEJ. I was in Owerri, Nigeria at the time and i could not resist the temptation to eavesdrop on the elderly ones as they continued pouring encomiums about GEJ and how he will lead us to the promise land.
After years into his administration there seem to be no meaningful improvement, how can a graduate and a P.hd holder allow students stay at home for more than 100 days? Does this means he doesn’t feel the pain of the students? Perhaps he doesn’t have a child of university age? or perhaps he/she doesn’t school in Nigeria.
Believe in me President Umaru Musa Yaradua is a Pragmatic fellow and he would not have allowed the strike linger for 100 solid days.
I wonder the way forward in a country where Education and the youth is overlooked.
God bless Nigeria
