The students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, known as AAUA, have been protesting against the institution's closure for 68 days due to an ongoing strike by staff members. The strike, initiated by the workers, has led to the students barricading major highways within the university community. The Students' Union Government, or SUG, led the protests, carrying signs with messages such as "Every pending graduate, shey na our lives be these?" and "Enough is Enough."
They demanded an immediate resolution to the issues fueling the strike and the reopening of the university. SUG President, Comrade Folagbade Greatness Ayoola, expressed frustration with the prolonged closure, mentioning how students are struggling with unpaid fees while lecturers' salaries remain unpaid. Ayoola stated that despite numerous promises and attempts at finding a solution, no concrete progress has been made.
He emphasized that until the strike is called off, the students will continue to protest and use any legal means necessary to ensure their voices are heard.
