The Academic Staff Union of Universities has accused the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari of slashing budgets for health and education in the proposed 2020 revised budget.

ASUU also frowned against the purported poor handling of the budgeted social intervention funds for the vulnerable in the wake of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The union, in a statement signed by ASUU chairman, University of Ibadan, Prof. Ayo Akinwole, and made available to journalists in Ibadan on Sunday, said the government failed to learn from the challenges of COVID-19. According to the statement, a progressive government would pay critical attention to health and education instead of allocating funds for mundane things.

The statement read in parts, “The distribution of the palliatives seem fraudulent as reactions from Lagos and other states of the nation indicated that government officials are profiting in the distribution.

Slashing health budget at a time when there's a national/global health crisis only goes to show how uncaring/insensitive the government is, and the fact that we're likely not going to see any upgrade in our health infrastructure. Sadly, it's going to be business as usual. Shame!
