UPDATE(POLICE DISRUPTS ASUU PROTEST IN BAYERO UNIVERSITY KANO):The Nigeria Police in Kano state has disrupted a peaceful protest by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in Bayero University, Kano (BUK). The protest was thwarted by armed policemen, who joined those stationed at the University gate as they blocked the entrance, forcing the lecturers back into the university campus. Although an argument ensued when a police officer made threats, the lecturers marched back to the university premises where the protest held peacefully. The leader of the ASUU in BUK, Dr. Mahmud Lawan, said although they had been denied the opportunity to express their grievances, the strike would continue because the federal government was not ready to listen to them. The protest was peacefully carried out despite the presence of armed police officers and the protesters said there would be no going back on the struggle for a better university system.
