ASUU STRIKE: UNIPORT Shuttle Drivers Cry Out

The University of Port Harcourt shuttle drivers have cried out over the unending ASUU strike across public universities in Nigeria. ASUU have been on strike for some months now, which has grounded academic activities in public universities across the Nation. Recall that the ASUU as a body, s had announced a-two month extension to its ongoing strike, accusing the Nigerian government of insensitivity and spreading lies. The union's nationwide secretariat at the University of Abuja hosted the NEC meeting. As a result of the strike, students have no other option than to go back to their various homes, which has negatively affected the University’s shuttle drivers. Some of the drivers who spoke with newsmen in Port Harcourt, expressed displeasure over the continuous ASUU strike which has ‘caused havoc’. They clearly stated what they are currently passing through as a result of ‘no passengers’. “As I am now, my house rent is about to expire. I don’t have money currently to renew it because there are no passengers”, one of the drivers said.
