ASSU strike











NANS Threatens ASUU, FG Over Endless Strike, Vows To Riot, Occupy Nigeria Until Schools Resume
        Nigerian Students, has Vowed to go on Riot & Occupy Nigeria until ASUU Strike Ends…strike to begin in 7 days
Strike nearing two-month old now by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) two days ago issued a one-week ultimatum to the Federal Government and the union’s leadership to resolve their differences or face serious consequences.
The protest started off by the students who blocked the Asaba end of the River Niger Bridge to air their demands. The protest caused traffic snarl for several hours as the students stalled movements to the eastern part of the country even as those returning were barred.

     Lamenting the effect of the strike, Obasi said students have become prone to accidents on the highways and the female students have been reduced to sex hawkers on the streets. From his statement, I stand to tell you that a lot of accidents have been recorded and 99.9% of the victims are Nigerian students. If they were in classrooms, they would not have fallen victims of road crashes”
