I was going through the news paper today when the headline caught my eye "TEACHERS REFUSE TO RESUME WORK!" This issue can never be overflogged and even though we might not be able to do much as individuals, we must continue to voice our displeasure, shout if need be day and night until the right thing is done. The educational system of our country isbbeing handled too ligghtly for my interest. Education is what secures the tommorrow of our country, It is the reason we are where we are now and it is our only security for a greater tomorrow. It started with our tetiary institution and has now rippled down to both the primary and secondary schools. What in the name of God are our leaders doing? It was disheartning to see this children resume school with no teachers to teach them and those who even went to teach were chased out of the classrooms.
I will not at this point blame the lecturers and teachers because they are only asking for what has been promised by the government. Rather I would want to appeal to them , knowing fully well that we have an irresposible and unconcerned governement, to return to school. Not because they are weak or have lost out, but because they are stronger and wiser in every aspect. Our Education as Africans is what secured our independence and has been serving us till date. Let us not toss it out the window! This is a clarion call to all patriots out there, NIGERIAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM needs you and I!

I agree with your line of argument. I had the opportunity of discussing with a lecturer and it will be sad if you know how much the government of the day is unserious about the situation. It is not enough that the government would not be serious about our educational system,I join in this call to appeal to our belove patriots to call of the strike and go back to the classrooms.
