The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) have blocked the road leading to the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos State to protest the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

The students, protesting the seven-month strike, blocked a section of the access road to the International airport on Monday morning, September 19.

This caused gridlock as vehicular movement in and out of the airport was stalled.

There was heavy police presence at the scene but this did not deter the protesting students.

The students had last week blocked the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and the Ibadan-Ife Road.

Young Nigerians protesting against bad governance and insecurity on Monday morning staged a peaceful protest along the airport road in the federal capital territory.

Protesters stormed Dantata Bridge, along the road which serves as a major entrance and exit point to the capital city as early as 5:00am chanting #BuhariMustGo.

The Expressway was barricaded with bonfire, preventing vehicular movement along the road.

This comes 9 days after a protest was staged across several states in the country.

On June 12, youths took to the streets of Lagos, Abuja, Oyo, Ondo and other cities demanding an end to insecurity, bad governance, corruption, impunity among others.
