ASUU strike: Nigerian students protest across Nigeria

The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has staged a protest in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and some other parts of the nation over the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

The protest was also held in other states including, Kofar Nasarawa, Kano State; Jos, Plateau State; Minna, Niger State; Jalingo, Taraba State; Ekiti State; Oyo State, among others.

Speaking to newsmen, NANS president, Sunday Asefon said they were marching from the Unity Fountain to the Federal Secretariat and then proceed to the National Assembly.

Asefon said the students would block some major roads in the nation’s capital if the government and ASUU fail to resolve the issues within the weekend.

The association had issued a one-week ultimatum to the Federal Government to resolve its disagreement with ASUU or face a national mass action by Nigerian students across the country.
