Breaking: Nigerian Students Protest ASUU Strike, Block Airport Road

National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, South West zone, on Monday blocked the road leading to the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, protesting against the ongoing strike by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

 

They were led by NANS National Taskforce Chairman, Olumide Ojo; Vice President, External Affairs, Akinteye Babatunde; Public Relations Officer, Giwa Yisa Temitope; Zone D Coordinator, Adegboye Emmanuel Olatunji; Deputy Senate President, Ekundina Elvis; Ondo JCC Chairman, Omotosho Surprise; Lagos JCC Chairman, Olusesi Tolulope Samson; Ogun JCC Chairman, Kehinde Damilola Simeon and Oyo JCC Chairman, Adeleke Quadri Abidemi.

 

In what appears to be an attempt to forestall the protest, the students were earlier intimidated by armed police officers.

 

The students who were blocked by security operatives from gaining access to the airport, took over the road, preventing traffic flow both inward and outward from the facility.

 

NANS Zone D coordinator, Adegboye said, “We have already taken over the road despite the rainfall, they mobilised lots of security operatives to tame us but nothing shall shake us until our students resume back to class.”
