A lot has been said about the implications of the prolonged ASUU strike to the Nigerian economy and the quality of the graduates produced by Nigerian universities. However, there are more important reasons to be worried - and that is the consequences of the strike on the health of both the students and lecturers.
These health implications include:
1. Sedentary lifestyle and all the diseases associate with it.
2. All forms of addictions including social media addiction
3. Alzheimer's disease which is one of the commonest form of memory loss.
4. Road traffic accidents
5. Injuries from all forms of menial jobs.
6. Eye problems from using computers and smart gadgets for more than necessary
7. Unwanted pregnancies and all the complications associated with it.
8. Sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS
9. Depression from spending too many years in school and form heart breaks.
10. Inability of ASUU members to afford medical services especially with the implementation of the no-work-no-pay policy of the federal government.

All these are grave enough to be a serious cause for concern. So, when next you are talking about the consequences of the prolonged ASUU strike on the lecturers and students, you should remember to mention the health implications of the strike on the stake holders too.
