The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate in the forthcoming general election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, is worried over the lingering industrial impasses between the Federal Government and labour unions in critical sectors in the country.
He is also anxious about the deadlock between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), which, he said was altering the future of the nation’s youths and putting families under undue pressure.
The Director, Media and Publicity, PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Kola Ologbondiyan, disclosed this on Tuesday, December 11, 2018.
The PDP presidential hopeful however appealed to the striking lecturers and other agitating labour groups to remain peaceful, stressing that already he has set out templates to handle all related issues and ensure an end to incessant labour crises, ensure industrial harmony and greater productivity in all sectors if he wins the election.
Besides, he disclosed that he has articulated a clear and practical road-map towards resolving all issues hampering education in Nigeria in his policy document, which embodies the aspiration and wishes of all Nigerians in their overall productive ventures.
Corroborating, the PDP Presidential group spokesman said: “Our candidate has made ample provisions for enhanced welfare packages, research grants, better teaching and learning environment as well as a strong synergy between the union and government towards a harmonious working environment.”
The PPCO therefore urged Nigerians not to despair but to continue to rally behind Atiku Abubakar in the all-important mission of rescuing the nation from the misrule of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration, which it stated, has shown gross incompetence and insensitivity to the plight of Nigerians.
