A Bishop of the Methodist Church, Dr Sunday Ndukwo Onuoha has called on the Federal Government to step up budgetry allocation for the education sector inorder to address the challenges faced especially with the incessant ASUU strikes in Nigeria.
Speaking shortly after he was bestowed with an Honorary Doctorate Degree of Theology award by Wesley University, Ondo State,Bishop Onuoha who is also the Governorship Candidate of African Democratic Congress, ADC in Abia State, maintained that higher institutions in the country should intensity efforts to marry skills acquisition with theory.

While appreciating the University Management for adding another feather to his cap, Bishop Onuoha, the Co-chair interfaith dialogue forum for peace, insisted that youths who are committed with jobs, would have no time allocated to crime.
