Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has said it backs the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, on the ongoing protest over the lingering strike.<\/p>\n

ASUU\u2019s National President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, disclosed this in an interview with journalists.<\/p>\n

Professor Osodeke praised the students for fighting for their rights.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cWe commend NANS members for fighting for their rights. It is their right. The pro-chancellors are doing well too. We hope the government will listen to them because they (pro-chancellors) understand what is happening in the Nigerian universities.\u201d<\/p>\n

NANS, on Monday, stormed Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos to mount pressure on the government to resolve the seven-month industrial strike by ASUU.<\/p>\n

The protest was still ongoing at the time of this report.<\/p>\n

Recall that the students\u2019 body had earlier threatened to ground activities at the local and international airports across the country beginning Monday due to the strike.<\/p>\n

Chairman, NANS National Task Force on \u2018End ASUU Strike Now,\u2019 Ojo Raymond Olumide, said students were tired of pleading with both parties to end the strike.<\/p>\n

He lamented that Nigerian students whose parents created the commonwealth could not continue suffering.<\/p>\n
