Across many Nigerian states on Tuesday workers were joined by students and parents in their thousands to protest the continued shutdown of the nation’s public universities over unresolved conflicts between the university-based workers’ unions and the government.
Also, members of the state chapters of the striking university-based workers’ unions- the Academic Staff of Nigerian Universities , Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities , Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Allied Institutions and the National Association of Academic Technologists , trooped out en masse to participate in the protest.
Mr Nwobodo told the governor that they were at the secretariat to appeal to him to deliver their concerns to President Muhammadu Buhari, over the ongoing industrial action across the federal government-owned universities. He also commended the protesters for their peaceful conduct, noting that; “Our job, just as you have pointed out, is to continue to engage the federal government to ensure that there is a peaceful and amicable resolution of all the contending issues.”The protesters, who moved through various roads in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, disrupted commercial activities in the city as they set up barricades.
“Never again shall we allow a charlatan to govern us or be in charge of the education sector in Nigeria,” he said. The News Agency of Nigeria reported that the Chairman of the University of Jos chapter of the union, Lazarus Maigoro, addressed the protesters in Jos on Tuesday. ”Committees were set up to look into our demands, but the government refused to consider the recommendations of these committees.”
