The National Association of Nigeria Students (NANS) has held a protest against the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The students led by its National President, Sunday Asefon, gathered on Monday morning at Unity Fountain displaying various placards.
Some of the students also protested in other states including, Kofar Nasarawa, Kano State; Jos, Plateau State; Minna, Niger State; Jalingo, Taraba State, among others.
The NANS President told journalists that the protesters will match from the Unity Fountain to the Federal Secretariat before proceeding to the National Assembly.
NANS, last week issued a one-week ultimatum to the Federal Government to resolve its disagreement with ASUU or face a national mass action by Nigerian students across the country.
Asefon said the students union has given the Federal Government up till the 28th of February to meet and resolve the issue with ASUU or face a national mass action by Nigerian students.
He described as unfortunate the attitude of the federal government who he accused of playing hide and seek with ASUU since 1999 when it signed the agreement with the academic union.
