Former presidential spokesman, Reuben Abati, has spoken on the strike action embarked upon by students of Benue state University.

Some students of the Benue State University on Friday frustrated academic activities in the school over management’s refusal to allow them write examinations over unpaid school fees.

They blamed ‘snake’ for their inability to pay their fees which led to the closure of the institution by management till further notice .

Reacting to the development,Abati via his twitter page said the students are not to be blamed but the government.

He wrote “Can you blame the students for claiming snakes swallowed their school fees?

“This cruelty to animals began the moment rats started “eating” furniture in Aso Rock.”
