The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has extended the ongoing strike by eight weeks, the president of the union, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke said on Monday.
Osodeke said this was to give the government enough time to satisfactorily resolve all the outstanding issues.
But Nigerians have continued to express their anger at the seeming ineptitude of government to their, plight, asking for God's intervention and as well 'clean our land'.
The implication according to some of the parents is that "poor parents who could not afford to take their children to private universities should blame themselves for being poor," even when it is apparent that the environment has never been conducive for genuine entrepreneurs except those hanging on government officials or closer to those in government."
This is "unfortunate and unacceptable," another parent laments.
The decision was taken after the ASUU National Executive Council meeting which started on Sunday night at the Comrade Festus Iyayi National Secretariat, University of Abuja.
At the meeting, ASUU accused the Federal Government of being unserious.
ASUU is demanding the release of revitalization funds for universities, renegotiation and implementation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU agreement.
