The association said it is embarking on a protest starting today and threatens to block the Lagos-Ibadan expressway over the failure of the government to address the prolonging strike.
The NANS Southwest Zonal coordinator, Emmanuel Olatunji Adegboye, said in a statement that “for over six months, ASUU has been on strike, thereby paralyzing academic activities on campus….. 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. We pass a vote of no confidence on the Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige and Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu”.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has been on strike since February 14, 2022, demanding funding for universities and a review of lecturer’s salary among other things. Several meetings have been held between the government and the association with no solution in view.
The protest will be held starting at the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway until the strike action is resolved.
