Northern Students Protest Lingering ASUU Strike In Jalingo by Nobody: 1:24pm On Jul 02, 2022 |
Students from the nineteen northern states of Nigeria are protesting the lingering ASUU strike in Jalingo, the Taraba State capital. Under the auspices of the Coalition of Northern Groups’ Students, the undergraduates are asking traditional rulers, civil society organisations, and government at all levels to urgently intervene and end the strike. The protest followed the inability of the Federal Government to resolve the ongoing strike by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), which has entered its fifth month. To air their grievances, they carried placards bearing several inscriptions like ‘FG, end ASUU strike now’, ‘Incessant ASUU/FG face-off, a demonstration of craziness,’ etc. READ ALSO: I Walked For Three Days To Escape, Says Chibok Girl Held For Eight Years In Sambisa Forest The exasperated students while rallying for their cause barricaded the ever-busy Jalingo Expressway, a situation that caused gridlock for motorists. Speaking to journalists, the National Secretary-General of the Coalition, Emuseh Gimba, accused the Federal Government of meeting the demands of the striking lecturers. “The Federal Government has refused to listen to ASUU or even consider their plea. This is something we are supposed to be responsible for,” she said. “These same people in government have once been students. These people have enjoyed free education in the past. They are the same people that call themselves our parents. If they will not listen to the plea of our lecturers, why won’t they listen to the plea of the Nigerian students? “Why won’t they consider the fact that they enjoyed free education and the students in this time are not enjoying free education they enjoyed?” According to her, students schooling in Kaduna, Katsina, and other northern states are worried by the worsening state of insecurity. Gimba further bemoaned the high spate of kidnapping and banditry activities in the region, accusing the government of making life miserable for students by compounding their woes with the lingering ASUU strike. She further asked the authorities to resolve the impasse with the striking lecturers so that students’ welfare can be prioritized. source:https://www.channelstv.com/2022/07/02/northern-students-protest-lingering-ASUU-strike-in-jalingo/ 2 Likes

First of all ASUU's Strike was Propagated by Political crooks in their Union, if the Strike doesn't end in THIS MONTH, then it will be Next Year! As at the current time FG will not Pay Any Attention to the Students, Not when Political Transfer Window is Open! ![]() ADIVCE: Find something to Learn which will help you when school resumes Mr Learned

The only way they can show their true anger is by boycotting anything APC. Remember you guys prepared a coffin and called it Goodluck, now is the time to prepare another coffin for APC party and their leaders. But unfortunately, most poor Nigerians, especially the youths have very short memory, they easily forget those that inflicted pains on them in the past, that's why they worship their oppressors |

Nigerian government is either not wise or simply reckless. You don't need anyone to tell u (as a government) that another EndSars-scale protest is on the way. But the typical Nigeria government will wait until the problem is out of control. Months before the commencement of ASUU strike, there were lots of letters written from the union to the government asking them to fulfill there "promises". Again, the government was not borthered. They waited until the issue got out of hands. This way of governing that prefer cure to prevention is the reason the government is always failing. |
