The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has advocated for legislation to control how public servants’ children enroll in schools abroad. At the solidarity rally held by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Tuesday in Yenagoa, Prof. Kingdom Tombra, the union’s chapter chairman for the University of Niger Delta University Wilberforce Island, announced as much.
