NANS Ground Lagos Airport Over Unresolved ASUU Strike
Some student activists associated to the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, on Monday stormed Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.
The NANS activists caused a gridlock at the airport as their way of mounting pressure on the government to resolve the seven-month industrial strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

Recall that the students’ body had earlier threatened to ground activities at the local and international airports across the country beginning Monday due to the strike.
Chairman, NANS National Task Force on ‘End ASUU Strike Now,’ Ojo Raymond Olumide, said students were tired of pleading with both parties to end the strike.
“Nigerian students whose parents created the commonwealth cannot continue suffering at home alongside our lecturers while the few who gain from our sweat and blood have their kids abroad.
“We call on students to rise and join us as we take our destinies into our hands. Our demands remain consistently clear and simple,” he said.
GWG reports that the operation by NANS at the airports, however, came after President Muhammadu Buhari and his deputy, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo left the country for various international engagements.
