HARVARD SCHOOL: GBAJABIAMILA APOLOGISES TO NIGERIANS

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, on Wednesday, described his decision to post a picture of himself attending a leadership course at Harvard University in the United States of America as not being sensitive to the plight of Nigerian students currently suffering from the shutdown of academic activities in public universities due to the ongoing strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities and other unions.

The PUNCH had reported how the Speaker came under fire for celebrating his “return to class” amidst the ASUU strike.

Several activists and stakeholders described the post as insensitive.

But the speaker took to his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday via @femigbaja to apologise.
