No fewer than 500 students of polytechnics, universities, and even secondary school leavers, yesterday, protested on the streets of Lagos under the aegis of the Concerned Citizens Against Education Commercialization, COSATEC.
The protest was to register their displeasure at the Federal Government’s lackadaisical attitude towards ending the incessant strikes in the education sector.The placard-carrying students barricaded Ikorodu Road at Onipanu area bemoaning their fate as they have been compelled to, yet again, sit at home due to the strike embarked upon by the lecturers.
The protest, however, brought traffic on the ever busy road to a halt as the students danced and played football on the highway.
Is there a way out? Should there be a state of emergency in education in Nigeria?
