The National Association of Nigerian Students, South-West zone, on Monday, said it would commence protests on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway (Sagamu Interchange) over the ongoing strike by the Acadamic Staff Union of Universities.
the National Association of Nigerian Students, South West zone on Monday announced the commencement of a protest on the Lagos-Sagamu Expressway.
According to the association, the protest was organised as a result of the lingering ASUU strike.
The association’s position was contained in a statement by its coordinator, Adegboye Olatunji.
“Since the inception of this administration, we have seen how meagre sum is allocated to the educational sector. It is based on the foregoing that we declare a protest against the prolonged ASUU strike which has ultimately affected the progress of Nigerian students for the past six months. And, we also pass a vote of no confidence on the Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige, and Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu.
“The protest shall be held till the strike action is resolved. Convergence point: Lagos-Ibadan Expressway (Sagamu Interchange).”
Also, the Plateau State University Chapter of ASUU has faulted the plan by the state governor, Simon Lalong, to implement a no work no pay policy against its members who are currently on strike as a result of the industrial action embarked upon by the national secretariat of the union.
