So what exactly do you want the Nigerian academic academics to do in practical terms? Ignore or stop the strike? Anything else? We need actionable suggestions, not lofty ideas.

Nigerian academics must take the lead to save education system in the country.
They should realize that the economy is wobbling and tumbling. It needs a strategic rescue mission.
Nigerian Academics must remember that the children of most of the education policy makers are studying abroad or they are in the best private universities in Nigeria.
They should realize that they are making their own children in the public universities to suffer unemployment in the long run.
They should remember that time and age are not on the side of their children hanging around them in the house when the children of the wealthy and political officeholders are in school.
They must note that a significant number of the children of political officeholders don't go for the compulsory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) unlike their own.
They must remember that it is time for them to make more sacrifice now that the economic recession is biting hard on most Nigerians. And their sacrifice is most needed for the development of the country.
After all, it is the poor masses that will pay for their children not being adequately educated for the future employment.
There is need for inner reflection.
