The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project and five university students have filed a lawsuit against the President Muhammadu Buhari, asking the court to “declare unlawful the refusal by the Federal Government to meet ASUU’s demands, which has occasioned the prolonged strike and violated the students’ right to quality education.”
SERAP’s Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
According to the statement, Ngige and the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), are joined in the suit as defendants.
The suit was filed on behalf of SERAP and the students by their lawyer, Tayo Oyetibo (SAN).
According to SERAP and the students, “Disruption of classes undermines both the quality and duration of students’ education. This situation has aggravated existing disparities in access to university education in the country, further marginalising economically disadvantaged parents and students.”
