ASUU Strike: Students Target Apapa Port After Airport Road Blockade

Category:  Nigeria News

Students, under the aegis of the National Association of Nigerian Students, on Monday made good their threat to ground activities at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos when they defied early morning downpour to block access roads to both the international and domestic terminals of the airport. 

The action was in continuation of their protests against the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities.

The blockage of the access roads left air passengers stranded, forcing airlines to reschedule most of their flights.

The students, however, told The PUNCH that they will be taking their protest to Apapa Ports on Tuesday (today).

The association’s South West Coordinator, Adegboye Olatunji, disclosed this in an interview with one of Punch correspondents on Monday.

“We will be moving to Apapa seaports on Tuesday if the Federal Government refuses to do the needful. Students are tired of staying at home,” Olatunji said.
