The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) on Friday threatened to sue the Federal Government over the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.
According to SERAP, its decision to institute legal action against Buhari’s administration was due to what it described as “crime against humanity,” following the lingering strike.
The body accused the Federal Government of violating the educational right of poor children in the country.

In a tweet, SERAP lamented that ASUU had been on strike while children of politicians attending private universities have been in school.
“BREAKING: The ASUU strike, which has kept poor children at home while the children of Nigeria’s politicians attend private schools, is a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.
“We’re suing the Buhari administration over its violation of poor children’s rights to education and equal protection,” SERAP tweeted.
ASUU has been on strike since February 2022. This was after they returned from a previous industrial action.
