Day 1 of ASUU protest in UNIBEN

The education system in Nigeria is gradually going down every day, both the primary, secondary and even the territary.

The system is going down, and our leader cannot do anything about it, intact they have fail us, not only in educational aspect but in all aspect.

My dad use to tell me that during their time, they was free education, which make it easier for people to be educated, but in this era or generation reverse is the case, they is no free education, and also even when you decided to pay for your own school stuff, you wont be given the chance to learn, especially in tertiary sector.

The only way for a student to learn without be disturb from his academic calendar is to go to a private university or better still attend school outside the country, and this can only be easy for those who have money.

They is no longer hope for poor masses children to go to school again, Without the academic calendar been temper with. It only in Nigeria they don't value teacher or lecturer, but in other countries teacher are respected just like the way doctors are respected.

Going to public university, everyone should bear it in mind that he or she is going to spend extra year than the normal duration time, and not only that, the rate at which they change people destiny is really high, that is to say an individual may apply for business admin and he might end up given admission into education or humans resources.

It no longer news that student have been at home for about three months now, due to the misunderstanding between Federal Government and ASUU. Student are the one suffering the consequences because time wait for no one, no matter how long the strike take, FG must be paid salary and also ASUU board will also paid at the end of the strike but for the student, they are not getting anything from it. The funny fact is we all know that they is no work, but we just want to get the certificate, yet they are still wasting student time.

Our Government has fail us, they is no government official who is well paid that their children study here in Nigeria, they always take their children to outside country, Minister of Education was seen online when he was attending his son convocation in outside country, not only that, One of ASUU official has bought APC Presidential form which is 100million naira, and alot of people has been buying this same form oo, yet Federal Government are claiming there is no money to settle ASUU but they are preparing for 2023 Election.

I am a student of university of Benin, I am studying business adminstration, my course is for 4 years, I was given admission in the year 2017, and I was issued an id card to prove that i am a student of the university, as I writing this article my id card has expired and yet I am still in the school not because of carry over but due to the covid 19 pandemic and also the strike.

It only in Nigeria public university you spend 6 years for 4 years course. Due to the fact that alot of student has stayed at home, and are tired of staying that home, that whyba peaceful protest was done today in other to remind FG and ASUU that we are tired of staying at home.

My school University of Benin. Aka Uniben started protest today, and it still going to commence tomorrow, we are fighting for our right. The protest was done in maingate, them we moved to ring road.

I just want to thank God that the protest was successful, and I pray that the government respond to ASUU on time.
