As the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) have refused to end the 60-day-old strike, students in public Nigerian universities have taken matters into their hands by engaging in various activities to keep themselves busy.

LAGOS—National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, plans to hold a nation-wide protest as a last resort to force the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, to end the protracted strike of university lecturers.

WHEN I wrote those series I had no idea that two months down the line ASUU would embark on a paralysing strike that would do serious violence to the academic calendar. One doesn’t need to be prophetic, Godspower Oyewole-style, to see our public universities are headed for the rocks.

…Accuse govt of insensitivity as FG begs ASUU
BENIN CITY—ECONOMIC activities ground to a halt for over one hour in Benin City, Tesday, as a coalition of civil society organisations and students protested against the attitude of the Federal Government to the strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday said there was no need for the Academic Staff Union of Universities to continue with their industrial action.
