Nigerian female students have been warned against protesting
unclad on the streets over the prolonged strike action by members of the Academic
Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.
Reports on social media had said some female students are
planning to protest unclad on the streets asking the government and ASUU to
reach a compromise and call off the strike.
Reacting, Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna senator, urged
students not to protest unclad in order not to create distractions to their main
cause.
His tweet read: The nationwide students’ protest over the
ongoing universities strike is commendable and should be sustained.
“However, the threats by some female students to protest
nud3 should be shelved, in order not to create serious distractions to the main
cause of the struggle.”
Meanwhile, some students from Olabisi Onabanjo University
(OOU), Tai Solarin University of Education, Science and Technology (TASUED)
Ijagun and Federal University of Agriculture (FUNAAB), Abeokuta on Monday
blocked the Sagamu-Benin Expressway protesting.
The students held placards with inscriptions such as “End
ASUU strike now”, “We say no to educational stagnancy”, “We’re tired of
deadlock meetings” and “Education should not be this difficult” among others.
ASUU strike was extended for three months recently making it
three months since the strike began on February 14th.
However, there are indications that the strike might be
called off soon as the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, said the
agreement reached with ASUU would yield good fruits next week.
