.
Executive Secretary of Anti-Corruption Network and former member of the House of Representatives, Dino Melaye, said yesterday that government's attitude showed it had no interest in the future generation of Nigerians.
.
Melaye said: "The Federal Government as far back as 2009, went into an agreement with ASUU and signed that agreement. Why will you agree to what you don't intend to do?
.
"A gentleman will go into an agreement and then carry out the agreement to the latter. The agreement was made in 2009; why was there no budgetary provision for that agreement in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013?
