Nigerian footballer and Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa has criticised Nigerian politicians for sending their children to schools abroad while the country’s government colleges were shut down for months as a result of a prolonged strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
How do politicians feel when their children live abroad but Nigerian students remain at home? was the question Musa raised on Instagram.
He said it was shameful that politicians in office showed pictures of their children going to school abroad while Nigerians were confined to their houses.
Nigerian institutions have been closed for the past five months as a result of the federal government’s inability to meet lecturers’ requests.
Recall that on February 14, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), shut down all public universities in an effort to get the FG to adhere to existing agreements that both parties had made.
Musa’s comments read, “To our political office holders whose children school abroad. How do you feel visiting your children abroad, taking pictures in their schools and posting it online while ASUU is on strike?
“Like seriously, how is it okay to you? You are running a system you don’t even believe in. Show me one oyibo leader whose child is schooling in Nigeria. E no dey touch una?
“And when you return Nigerian youths will still gather and sing praises for una,” he added.
