The blockade has caused heavy vehicular traffic along the highway as many heavy-duty trucks and passengers’ buses going to and from Abuja, Lagos or Benin were stranded.

A former Student Union President of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Esedere Abraham, told newsmen that the protest would continue until ASUU called off the strike action.

Esedere stated that students should not be made to suffer for any problem between ASUU and the Federal Government. jamb results
