Students in Nigerian universities, particularly federal institutions, spend more years than their counterparts studying the same course in private-owned schools. The reason is not far-fetched. It is because of the constant strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities .
While the ASUU strike has been called off following an appeal court order asking that the strike be suspended, it is important to consider the ramifications of the eight-month strike action on all parties concerned. As things stand, ASUU has temporarily suspended the strike but negotiations with the federal government will continue.
Also, most students residing in private-owned hostels are now faced with the difficult reality of paying another year’s rent despite not utilising the previous rent paid. Added to this are the other bills and fees they must pay to continue the semester. When one considers the current economic realities in the country, it is a lot to take in.
In response, many lecturers, especially those who couldn’t handle the pressure of seeing their counterparts in state and private universities going to work and earning salaries, began to apply for study visas abroad. Eventually, many left the country for better opportunities before the strike was called off. What this means is that many of these returning students have no lecturers to teach them, yet they still have to sit for examinations in those courses.
