While defending the records of the present administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, which many Nigerians believe has failed in security and economy, the minister pointed out that there are records created that Tinubu, if elected, will continue.
‘There are records that this government has created that we are very proud of. I will not run away from them. This Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has uncanny ability to improve whatever he meets in the office,’ he added.
Commenting on the issue of the ongoing ASUU strike on Friday, Keyamo asserted that the government will not allow the union, to plunge it into another burden of borrowings.
He said the federal government has explored all avenues to reach a truce, but the striking ASUU members turned deaf ears.
Keyamo stated that ASUU failed to honour dialogue with the key stakeholders holding the purse of the federal government.
The minister said the government cannot go beyond its capacity, because it is not only ASUU that is feeding from the federal government purse.
Africa Today News, New York recalls that the academic union had on February 14th embarked on the ongoing industrial action.
