"I'm just hearing it right now. So I'm happy, it's good news. Because I have things to do, you know I'm doing photography and I'm trying to relax. School is taking up my time and obviously nobody is serious about school in this country including the government themselves. So, you know you just have to find something going on for yourself, something that works for you, and school is not it."

ASUU declares strike
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the Academic Staff Union of Universities declared a warning strike. The body said the strike will last for one month.
This decision by ASUU's National Executive Council (NEC) came after a deadlocked meeting with delegates of the Ministry of Labour and Employment that ran into the early hours of Monday, February 14.
ASUU is bitter and angry that the federal government of Nigeria has failed to honour agreements reached with the body.
