Yakasai tweeted: “I’ve never seen a weak president like @MBuhari. He gives directives to his appointees and they ignore it without consequences.
“He gave 2 weeks ultimatum for ASUU strike to be resolved, nobody took him seriously & the time has elapsed. Shamefully embarrassing to say the least!”

Buhari, on July 19, directed the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, to resolve the prolonged strike and report back to him in two weeks’ time, Daily Post reports.
ASUU has been on strike since February 14, 2022, over the inability of the federal government to meet their demands.
The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), had led a nationwide protest against the continued closure of public institutions in the nation, following strike action by the Association of Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
However, while labour gave the federal government a two-week ultimatum to resolve the crisis, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and rights activist, Mr. Femi Falana, joined the demonstration in Lagos, while some governors in their respective states, identified with labour with a view to ending the prolonged ASUU strike.
