Note that the academic staff union of universities (ASUU) has embarked on industrial action, which entered 200 days today, Friday, September 2.
Both parents and students have lamented the effect of the industrial strike, condemning the failure of the federal government and the union to resolve the crisis and reopen the institutions.

On February 14, the union declared a month's warning strike over the federal government’s failure to meet up with his demands which included earned allowances, payment of revitalisation funds to universities, and the release of white paper reports of visitation panels.
Others included the implementation of the university transparency accountability solution (UTAS) instead of the government’s integrated payroll and personnel information system (IPPIS) for workers’ payment in the government’s payroll and the renegotiation of the ASUU-FG 2009 allowance.
But SERAP, in a statement on its verified Twitter page, said it is dragging the federal government to court as it has failed to allow poor Nigerian students to return to classrooms.
It urges interested Nigerian students to join it as plaintiffs in the case.
“We’re preparing court papers to sue the Buhari administration over the failure to meet the demands of ASUU and to allow poor Nigerian students to go back to school.
“Please urgently indicate your interest to join the suit especially if you are university students,” SERAP said.
