I Am Not Among Politicians Sending Kids Abroad To School– Ngige

By Emmanuel Adigwe

Minister of labour and employment, Chris Ngige has dissociated himself from politicians who send their children to private universities or to institutions abroad, saying that three of his children are schooling in Nigeria’s public universities.

Ngige disclosed this on Monday when he appeared on Arise TV while affirming that he was passionate about the quick resolution of the ASUU strike upon his personal stake in the public university system.

He said: “I have three biological children in public schools. They are in public schools; they are not in private universities. Unlike ASUU members who have most of their children in private universities, three of mine are here. So, I am a very big stakeholder in the public tertiary school system.

“So, when ASUU says politicians don’t care because they have taken their children abroad, Chris Ngige cares because my children are not abroad even though they have dual nationality – two of them have American citizenship; they can be in America but I chose them to be here with me.

“So, ASUU cannot accuse me of not being nationalistic enough. Anything that will help the university system here, I am in the forefront.”
