ADIGUNMIKKY NEWS UPDATE : New PDP youth leader to lead mass protest over ASUU strike POSTED ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2013 By Engr adigunmikky/Tasued As the splinter group of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Abubakar Baraje named its National Executive Committee (NEC) members on Monday, the newly appointed National Youth Leader, Timi Frank, has said he would mobilise Nigerian youths to protest against the prolonged strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). His threat came on Tuesday, just as members of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), University of Port Harcourt chapter, made good their earlier plan to engage in mass protest. The Uni-Port students had blocked the East- West road for over an hour, to protest the prolonged industrial action, which had kept the gate of the nation’s ivory tower shut since July 2. At an interactive forum with journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, Frank described as shameful the continued stay of students at home, which he attributed to insensitivity of the Jonathan-led administration. He said: “The attitude of the current administration under President Goodluck Jonathan to the plight of the striking workers is an indication that he has lost track with the basic tenets of governance.
