Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) and Colleges of
Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) after staying at home for ten months,
decided to stage a protest today at the Federal Secretariat in Abuja. Their
protest however was disrupted when the lecturers and students who gathered in
front of the Secretariat, were dispersed by gun-wielding policemen who
later fired teargas at them for defying their instruction not to move beyond
the premises of the Federal Secretariat.
The Minister of Labour, Mr Emeka Wogu, who addressed the
lecturers before they were dispersed, promised to address the issues raised by
them and said there would be an end to the on-going strike. More pictures from the protest after
the cut. More photos after the cut.
