The lament for icarus drivers#
It’s all a sad story from the taxi drivers that ferried students from hostels to campus, the operators of over 40 restaurants that thrive when students are around, the landlords who rent their apartments to students, women that sell snacks around the school and the shop owners who sell notebooks and other stationeries.

The lament for icarus skin#
This is my candid opinion as a parent.” We have developed thick skin to survive, says UNIJOS ASUU Chapter We didn’t expect this from the President Buhari administration. For the past six to seven months now, no source of income for them they are all jobless.
They believe that public universities are the best.The Federal Government should not only consider students and lecturers, they must consider those who are making their money like the cab operators and those who are selling groundnuts, snacks, among others, on campuses. As it’s affecting us, it’s also affecting many lecturers too because most of them do not believe in enrolling their children in private universities. The irony of the whole show is that the 2023 general election is around the corner and it’s parents of the public students and the downtrodden that will go and queue to vote for them, while most of the big men will travel out. So, as a result, I am appealing to the President Muhammadu Buhari administration to know that parents are not happy. The foundation of the successes of so many countries is based on education.
Because anybody, who wants to build a house, does not start with the roof he must start with the foundation. We believe that if we do not take education very seriously in this country, there is no way we can develop it’s not a curse.
And I can tell you that parents who have their children in public universities are not happy with this government. He said: “I am very sad about the declaration of the strike as indefinite.
