ASUU STRIKE: Angry Mothers Besige Abuja; Demands end to strike(Photo)

Frustrated by the unending industrial action embarked on by Academics Staff Union of University, ASUU over three months ago, angry Nigerian mothers and market women have stormed Abuja in protest of the never ending strike

NIGERIAN MOTHERS PROTESTING UNENDING ASUU STRIKE

The women protesters, led by Mrs. Felicia Sani demanded an immediate end to the lingering industrial action. “ASUU people must not allow themselves to be instrument of chaos in the hands of disgruntled politicians. What they are doing now show they are becoming politicians. They are making our children to suffer. This is not the way to collect entitlement from government.”
Thousands of the women who first assembled at the Eagle square took to the streets of Abuja and later visited the Ministry of Education and its Labour and Productivity counterpart.
Brandishing various placards with such inscriptions as “ASUU, do not kill our education system” and “Our children are idle, ASUU take them to classroom”, they sang solidarity songs while appealing to lecturers to go back to class.
Probably with women intervention, the FG and the lecturers could sheathe their pride and put end to the strike.
