MARKET WOMEN PROTEST ON ASUU STRIKE AT NATIONAL ASSEMBLY

From the look of things, it seems that it is not only students that are affected by the asuu strike because traders under the aegis of national market women association took their protest on asuu strike to the streets on monday and stormed the national assembly, demanding that the academic staff union of universities(ASUU) should call off the ongoing strike that has lasted for more than three months. the protesters who have been at the ministry of education and the office of the head of service, arrived the assembly complex at 11:30am. the president general of the group mrs Felicia Sani, who led the more than 200 protesting women, said "we are tired of seeing our children at home, we want our children back to school, enough of this cheap blackmail. we all know what they do with our year one daughters in the university. we equally know that they sell handouts and handbooks. "is this not worse than the corruption of the highest order?" we are not educated, but you do not expect a hotel in my village to cost the same price as a hotel in Abuja. they are located in different places. we are begging them for the last time, because if we come out for a protest again, we may have to chase them out of this country and replace them with many jobless Nigerians" SOURCE: Naij.com
