The Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu has fulfilled 90 per cent of his campaign promises, arguing that his administration deserves another four years to consolidate its achievements ahead of the 2027 general election.
Alausa stated this during the unveiling of a new agreement for non-academic staff in tertiary institutions, where he defended the President’s record and accused opposition figures of spreading misinformation about the government’s performance.
He cited the resolution of longstanding disputes with tertiary institution unions as evidence of Tinubu’s commitment to education, noting that the Federal Government had negotiated agreements with academic and non-academic unions after years of disagreements that disrupted academic activities.
“You have a President who has your back. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has your back,” Alausa told union leaders, urging them to engage the government through established channels instead of threatening industrial action through the media.
The minister disclosed that the government plans to expand the existing implementation committee for the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to monitor agreements with academic and non-academic unions.
He added that the agreement provides for renegotiation every three years and assured that the government would honour its commitments. He also urged union leaders to consider the country’s financial capacity when making demands.
Alausa said industrial harmony was essential to educational development, allowing institutions to plan effectively and students to study without recurring strikes.
He said the government remained committed to improved staff welfare and uninterrupted academic activities, adding, “A four-year programme must be a four-year programme. A promise made is a promise kept.”
