Following the protracted strike embarked upon by the Lagos State chapter of Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, the affected students, who have found the three-month industrial action unbearable spoke with Campus Square on the issue:
KEMI 300 LEVEL ACCOUNTING (LASU)
The duration of our courses is four to five years, but some of us have spent up to seven years in Lagos State University (LASU) through no fault of ours.
Most employers like banks recruit graduates of 25years, so with the constant strike, it might be difficult for people like me to get jobs after graduation.
MONSURAT HND 2 MICROBIOLOGY (LASPOTECH)
May be the lecturers too should come down a bit and let’s see if the government will appreciate it. I really appreciate the lecturers for doing this but I think they should reconsider us.
AYOOLA 100 LEVEL ACCOUNTANCY (LASU)
I have been praying for admission for a very long time and also been aspiring to go to university, but now I feel discouraged about the way the strike is going. I beg the state government to put a stop to this strike.
DAPO 200 LEVEL ENGLISH (OOU)
This strike is really affecting me and it has really dropped my eagerness to learn. It will give politicians an avenue to use the students that are idle as thugs in the forthcoming election because an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. In my school, we are planning a peace rally; maybe the government will listen to us.
