University of Ibadan  students on Friday carried placards with different inscriptions to protest the continued shut down of public universities embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). in the country since February 14, 2022. TheNewsGuru.com reports that the  union had in February this year declared a warning strike due to the non-implementation of the agreement reached by the Federal Government and the union in 2009. ASUU after embarking on a three month warning strike stretched it by announcing another 3 months. Meanwhile, students mainly of University of Ibadan staged a peaceful protest to appeal to both parties to end the strike.   It was gathered that  the students during the protest also blocked the University of Ibadan-Mokola Road in Ibadan.   One of the students, Solomon Emiola, a 200-level of the University of Ibadan, explained that the protest became necessary because they are tired of staying at home. He said, “Our leaders have continued to politick with our future. Our goal is to shut down the whole of Ibadan until our demand is met.”
