The All Progressive Congress (APC) has said it was unreasonable for the first lady, Patience Jonathan, to have decided to an Honorary Doctorate Award in South Korea even when the nation's universities remain shutdown u under the Goodluck Jonathan's administration.
APC interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohamed, stated this in a statement issued in Lagos. The statement asserted that if the first lady and her advisers were reasonable enough, it would be very obvious to them that embracing such an award when Nigerian students were lamenting over ASUU strike would affect the sensibility of Nigerian students. The statement reads "in there eagerness to gobble up omega spurious award after another, they forgot that if the Hensei University in South Korea had been shutdown by a strike because the government there had repudiated am agreement it willingly signed with the teachers, the institution would not have been able to give any honorary degree to anyone. A government that is unwilling to spend the nation's resources on the education of the youth has no qualms about wasting the same resources for a junket by the first lady and her cheerleaders halfway around the world for what is nothing more than an ego massaging award" it said.
