Reports reaching us have it that NANS shuts down Niger Bridge Asaba over the lingering ASUU strike.
No vehicular movement for the past 3 hrs. Is this how far NANS could have gone, considering the fact that its politicized leaders/executive have been speaking from both sides of their mouth?
The students appealed to the lecturers to call off the strike.
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) on Friday barricaded the Asaba axis of the Niger Bridge for more than two hours.
The action, which was jointly carried out by some university students and their polytechnic counterparts, was in protest against the protracted strike by ASUU.
The aggrieved students blocked the bridge at about 1 p.m., which resulted to a traffic gridlock that stretched from the bridge to Okwe junction about five kilometres to Asaba Town.
They also lamented the recent decisions of polytechnic lecturers under the auspices of ASUP to also embark on a similar strike, saying it would further cripple the education sector and send a wrong signal to the international community.
NANS National Public Relations Officer, Victor Ola-Ogun, said that the students were tired of the strike and appealed to ASUU to call it off.
He said that the students had embarked on the peaceful protest and taken it to Kano and “now they are in Zone B, that is Delta and the Anambra area of the country.’’
He said that if the lecturers refuse to call off the strike, the association would further move the protest to Zone C and D, comprising the middle Belt areas and South West of the country.
“We do not want a situation where our ladies will become prostitutes and the men armed robbers.
“We are always there to fight for the lecturers’ welfare and now that the Federal Government has decided to meet some of their demands, they should consider for our sake and go back to work,’’ Mr. Ola-Ogun said.
The students, many of whom were drawn from different parts of the country are expected to leave Delta to their various destinations on Saturday.
The ASUU strike has been on since July 1.

BOYS ARE NOT SMILING!!

na now e clear for una eye... wetin dem for do since

NA D BRIDGE CAUSE THE STRIKE?

Nuisance!

Hmmm...is that the way out?

Misplaced priority,what has the bridge and road users got to do with ASUU strike and FG? Go and block AsoRock and national assembly

misplaced priority ...

They should have gone to the National Assembly to established their blockade rather and frustrate already frustrated travellers plying the bridge

when soldiers would be deployed to that place, we go know who be who

Why suffer the poor masses? They should go and block the aso rock villa.

and ave they called off the strike because of that? swtee
