The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has issued a statement ahead of the upcoming Nigerian presidential and National Assembly elections, urging eligible voters to carefully consider the candidates they choose to support. ASUU has also warned against voting for corrupt politicians, stressing the need for a change in the country’s political and socio-economic landscape.
