Students from all state universities in Ondo State have given Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa a 14-day ultimatum to address the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and other striking unions. Mayomi Adeboye, the chairman of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) in Ondo State, made the announcement in Akure on Monday, addressing journalists about the students' protest against the two-month-long industrial action by ASUU.
The students gathered to protest the ongoing strike after meeting with government officials. NANS National President urged the students to give the government two weeks to resolve the issue. If the strike is not resolved by then, the students plan to resume massive protests. The students argue that ASUU, NASU, and SSANU are owed money, but it is the students who suffer due to the strike.
They express concern over missed opportunities, such as scholarships and exams, and urge the government to prioritize their interests. The Ondo State Student Union Presidents also expressed frustration over the prolonged strike and called for immediate resolution.
