Nigeria's Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has been on strike since July, bringing classes in 60 universities to a halt. This is just the latest round – the country's public universities have missed three and a half years of academic sessions in the last 15 years.
Our community in Nigeria asked us to cover this story, so join us on Friday 16GMT/5pm local to weigh in on what's behind the country's current university strike, how it's affecting students, and how it can be resolved.
Use the hashtag #ASUUchat to join the conversation and watch this space for updates.
Join the discussion on The Stream today Friday 30th August, 2013 by 16:00GMT/ 5pm local time or on twitter #ASUUchat
*It is good ASUU strike is being put on the international map as this might force the Federal Government to buckle and meet their demands once and for all*
