Kogi State University Students staged a protest at the early hours of
today in Lokoja against the three months of industrial action by the
Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Kogi State University
chapter. The lecturers had earlier embarked on a strike to demand for
their 5 months salary arrears. However after the state government
reportedly met 80 per cent of their demands by paying 4 months of the
salary arrears, the Union still insisted on getting it in full. The
students took to the streets of Lokoja to protest, demanding for the
strike to be called off.
