Following the donation of $1 million by President Muhammadu Buhari to Afghanistan, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has bemoaned the action, “Meanwhile ASUU is still on strike and has vowed not to renegotiate, says FG is not willing to pay outstanding Funds,” ASUU tweeted.
A section of Nigerians have also expressed anger over the president’s gesture amid hardship ravaging the country.
Recall that the Secretary-General of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, OIC, Hissein Brahim Taha had in a statement, disclosed that Buhari donated the money over the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.
The Union’s complaint comes after the Organisation for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) thanked Mr Buhari for his donation to Afghanistan.
Afghanistan came under the control of the Taliban extremists in August last year, and since then the group has strived to rebuild the country’s economy.
“President Muhammadu Buhari has today donated $1 million to Afghanistan to ease their humanitarian situation and to help in catering for the needs of millions of Afghan people, including women and children.
“This donation comes in time to add a new momentum to OIC’s efforts to contribute to easing the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan and to help in catering for the needs of millions of Afghan people, including women and children”, the statement added.
However, some Nigerians who took to their Twitter handles to express their feelings, tackled the president for allegedly ignoring the numerous challenges in the country to donate such an amount to the Islamic nation.
