Royal Blessings Have Finished Says Enugu West Traditional Rulers
“The society we are managing is complex, now we are talking about ASUU strike, during my time too, ASUU had four months of strike, different committees were meeting and meeting and nothing was working. I said how can our children stay out of school for four months? So I had to call a meeting of all the leadership of ASUU.
“I presided over the meeting with my vice president, the Attorney General was there, I said that, that night we must solve the problem. The Attorney General was there, Second to the Government of the Federation was there, the ministers of education were there, the labor ministers were there, the finance ministers, everybody that had to do with it.
“And I thought that my being there would help us to do things quickly. But we spent the whole night, before we finished at about 5:30am. Before we concluded and the strike was called off, so there were issues,” Jonathan said.
He noted that Bishop Kukah despite his friendship with leaders also slammed them when he feel they were not doing some things right, including himself.
