Students in government schools in Kubwa, Abuja, and public primary and secondary schools in Lagos have been sent home due to the ongoing strike by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC). The strike has disrupted the academic schedule, including upcoming tests for senior secondary school students.
A student in SS1 said, “We were in the middle of assembly when we were told to go home due to the strike. We’re not sure when we’ll be called back or if the strike will be resolved soon.”
The strike has affected the normal school routine, and students are waiting for further notice to return to class.
One of the students said, “We are in SS1. We just finished Assembly this morning and we were asked to go back home, because of the strike. And they said till further notice or they will call us back.
