We got to know that the school is just returning from a 3months+ strike which started from February and ended May after many deliberations. The strike was as a result of the protest students of the university had against the Vice Chancellor, Professor Francis Eze for the illegal increment of school fees. We also got informed that the school just started the second semester, of her academic calendar and now, another strike hunt them. They are feeling very sad as their mates in other schools are far much ahead of them. Many other schools are facing same problem. They plead for the Federal Government intervention.

Judging from the recent meeting Senator Chris Ngige, the minister of Labour and Employment had with the leadership of ASUU which ended up positively. The senator promised that the federal government is already doing everything possible to ensure a warm resolution between the FG and ASUU. Saying that the country can’t afford to disorganise the academic calendar of the students, so they would do everything possible to ensure that all students go back to school sooner than we expect.
