The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, on Monday invaded the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.
This is to mount pressure on the government to put an end to the seven month industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
The Informant247 recalls that the students’ association had earlier issued threat to stop activities at the local and international airports across Nigeria starting from Monday due to the strike.
The Chairman of the NANS National Task Force on ‘End ASUU Strike Now,’ Ojo Raymond Olumide, expressed disappointment in the government as he said students were tired of pleading with both parties to put an end to the industrial strike.
“Nigerian students whose parents created the commonwealth cannot continue suffering at home alongside our lecturers while the few who gain from our sweat and blood have their kids abroad.
“We call on students to rise and join us as we take our destinies into our hands. Our demands remain consistently clear and simple,” he said.
