Lecturers’ strike is a distress call, we need to respond

New developments continue to protract the strike; manifestly, this shove and pull make the student the underdog. The learning seizure in higher education continues to take a heavy toll on students. Save for the few private universities, students in public universities have been abandoned to their own devices.

On this occasion, the strike came impetuously since talks between players were not concluded. A closed-door meeting last month spelled the arrest of the academic calendar, this time, ad nauseam.
