ASUU strike and delayed graduation

Speaking to Legit.ng about delayed graduation in Nigerian universities, Cornelius Ellah, head of the Department of Mass Communication at the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS), said the situation puts psychological pressure on students.

His words:

"Delayed graduation psychologically affects students and puts some of them under undue pressure to "just graduate and leave. Also, delayed graduation exerts additional financial burdens on students and their parents/sponsors. Affected students are usually expected to pay school fees for "extra time."
