President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, has described the education sector under former President Muhammadu Buhari as catastrophic.

He said no government had ever given the education sector a paltry five percent as the administration did.

Speaking with journalist, Osodeke urged President Bola Tinubu to ensure that the person he will appoint as the minister to oversee education sector is someone who knew what education is all about.

He further said that some lecturers had not been paid salaries for about 30 months, while some had yet to collect the consequential adjustment paid about two years ago.
