Nigerians students on Twitter has reacted to the recent development of ASUU going on one month strike until the federal government fulfill there demands.
According to Vanguard, the Academic Staff Union and Universities (ASUU) has declared that they will be going on a one month warning strike to press their demands to their Federal Government.
ASUU has been demanding for the payment of Earned Academic Allowance, revitalization fund, the replacement of the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System, IPPIS, with the University Transparency and Accountability System UTAS.
Miffed with the recent development, a twitter user, Ojone @ojonegon in a riposte said that he was supposed to have graduated from the university, but because of strikes he is still not in his final year.
“Ojone @ojonegon: “I was supposed to graduate this year but somehow I’m still not in my final year and ASUU is going on strike. FML”
Another user, @_Demiiee, after reading the story published on Vanguard Website, wrote, “If my school joins this ASUU strike then I’m finished coz hmm”.
However, one Phienhert @afrexdanlami1 humorously accused ASUU of intentionally going on strike to give Nigerian students the freedom to celebrate Valentine. His words: “ASUU DON GIVE ALL NIGERIAN STUDENTS THEIR VALENTINE GIFT…. ONE WHOLE MONTH NO BE WARNING AGAIN…”
