ASUU Strike: University Students Urge FG To Implement 2009 Agreement.

Students in Edo state have protested against the attitude of the federal government in the current strike action embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). The students who carried placards marched round some streets in Benin City chanting solidarity songs to express their displeasure. Spokesperson for the group, Festus Otono called on the federal government and Minister of Education to fully implement the demands of ASUU, while explaining that students may start indulging in various crimes due to idleness, as he appealed to the parties involved to adhere to the 2009 agreement. The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) embarked on strike two months ago to compel the Federal Government to implement the agreement reached with the union in 2009.
