Nigerian Students in Ekiti state have taken to the streets to express their grievances over educational policies of the state governor, Ayo Fayose, Nation reports.
The students under the aegis of the Federation of Ekiti State Students Union (FESSU) and the National Association of Nigeria Students (NANS) condemned the scrapping of the free education by the governor.
The placard-carrying students, who came from the state-owned tertiary institutions, poured into the streets of Ado Ekiti at 8.30 am yesterday, singing anti-government songs.
The protest caused a huge traffic gridlock in the area as students marching and stopping intermittently at various junctions to address the public.
The students said they chose to protest on the state’s 19th anniversary to send a message that all is not well in the state and to kick against “bad government policies” in education.
