ASUP STRIKE: Police Uses Tear-Gas On Protesting Students, Lecturers

 The latest report we have on the ongoing protest by
ASUP at the federal secretariat, Abuja, says the protest
has been disrupted by police with tear-gas and water
aimed at protesters - lecturers of Nigeria's higher
institutions.
The police is using tear-gas and water to stop the
protest that is right now going on at the building of
Federal Secretariat in Abuja.
Lecturers and students of Nigeria's polytechnics and
other colleges are protesting to show their discontent
on how the federal government is handling the strike
by the ASUP lecturers and COEASU lecturers.
The representatives of both unions have been on strike
since the last year, and hundreds of thousands of
students have not been able to attend lectures since
then.
People on spot of the protest are sharing the photos on
Twitter.
