Dr. Afolabi said that the union believed that, despite the numerous challenges that the union must face as regards the delayed payment of salaries and the delay by the federal government in signing a new agreement with the Union, he believes that the future of the bright Nigerian young people should not be truncated due to the throttle of financing the bills of their education.

“Asuu sees investments in the future of poor students as a way to inculcate support and empathy values in the beneficiaries so that they return to society in the future,” he said.
