Nigerian students are set for a lengthy stay at home as the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has embarked on an indefinite strike action.
The lecturers decided to go on strike after an extensive deliberation at its meeting held at the University of Abuja from Friday, August 11.
Philipconcept Blog's earlier reported that the union has directed all members against going to teach or involving
themselves in any academic activity.
Since the announcement, Nigerians especially students affected have criticized the Nigerian government for failing to forestall the industrial action.
Below are some reactions:
Before the strike kicked off, Philipconcept Blog's reported that the Nigerian federal government has been unable to honor its part of agreement signed with ASUU in 2009.
Therefore, the union began the process that led to this nationwide strike. ASUU began collation of signatures of members through referenda to determine the type of strike in terms of time to embark on.
