Many controversies have been generated over the need for the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU)<\/strong> to create another strategy or policy that will coerce the federal government to harken to their clamour without necessarily embarking on a long-term strike, thereby delaying students who already have their lives planned, even before their admission into higher learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While ASUU has continued to strike from 1999 <\/strong>to date, university students have started to see education as irrelevant in the Nigerian system, and they are beginning to ask if the government is interested in investing in education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Researchers and public affairs analysts have revealed that one of the factors contributing to cybercrime and other forms of criminal activity is the lack of good leadership and quality of education, of which the ASUU strike is an instance. Thus, Nigerian youths are forced to sit at home for months waiting for the government to grant the request of ASSU.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
