Hundreds of students of various polytechnics took to the
streets of Lagos, on Monday, to protest the lingering strike embarked upon by
academic unions in polytechnics, demanding that President Goodluck Jonathan
spend the money earmarked for the National Conference on the education sector.
The placard carrying students
converged at the University Of Lagos junction in the morning, to demand
immediate intervention in the lingering crisis. Some of the inscription reads,
“Spend money on education sector, not on National Conference”, “Education
is our right not a privilege” and “We say no to strike, we want to go back to
our classroom” among others.
The strike in the nation’s polytechnics
is over nine months with no solution in sight.

They neglected us thinking that we we are nothing in the educational sector, only God will judge them.
