Fulani herdsmen under the umbrella of Miyetti Allah
Kautal Hore in Nasarawa State have threatened to stop
the sales of beef in markets if the Federal Government
fails to end the prolonged strike by the Academic Staff
Union of Universities (ASUU) within two weeks.
The herdsmen who gathered at the Miyetti Allah
headquarters in Nasarawa expressed their unhappiness
over the handling of the issue relating to lecturers’ pay
which has resulted in the unnecessary and endless stay-
at-home of Nigerian students.
Speaking with newsmen on behalf of the herdsmen,
the national president of the association, Alhaji
Abdullahi Bodejo, faulted the attitude of the
government towards education and urged President
Goodluck Jonathan to re-negotiate with the aggrieved
union, in order to find a lasting solution to the strike in
the interest of students and the country.
“If the federal government refuses to listen to the
lecturers, we have no choice than to stop the supply of
meat to markets and our women from selling milk (fura
da nunu). We have been making efforts to enlighten our
people about education, but the government is not
encouraging us at all,” Bodejo said. He also called on
the union to consider the situation and return to class
in the interests of Nigerian students.
