Long university strike takes toll on Nigerian students
In related news, Briefly News reported that for almost seven months, students in federal government-owned universities in Nigeria have been stuck at home, forced out of class by a protracted strike by staff.
The protest over pay, welfare and crumbling facilities by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has shut down universities since 14 February in the latest industrial action by the country's public sector workers.
After several extensions to give the government time to meet their demands, the union's country's leadership declared an indefinite strike in public universities across Africa's most populous nation.
