Protesting Students Barricade Major Highways in Enugu and Ife

Students under the aegis of Fund Education Coalition have taken protests to some Federal highways in the Southern parts of Nigeria. Students of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, and their counterparts at University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Enugu State, yesterday took to the highways, stopping vehicular movements in protest against the continous strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

While the OAU students barricaded the Ife-Ibadan expressway, students of the University of Nigeria, shutdown the Nsukka-Opi-Enugu, where travellers remained stranded as the blockade caused traffic snarls.

The students, vowed to continue the protests till their demand of addressing issues raised by ASUU and reopening universities was met by the Federal Government. Their uniform demand being an immediate end to the strike embarked upon by ASUU.

The visibly angry students, who turned out in their hundreds, accused the Federal Government and ASUU of toying with their future, threatening that they would cripple economic and political activities nationwide, if the strike was not called off.

The students, who said they were tired of staying idle at home, urged politicians to inject the huge sums of money used in purchasing nomination forms into resolving the impasse between ASUU and Federal Government.
