ASUU STRIKE DURATION BY ADMINSTRATION
🔴Obasanjo (1999–2007) — 18 months
🔴Yar’Adua (2007–2010) — 4 months
🔴Jonathan (2010–2015) — 13 months
🔵Buhari (2015–2023) — 21 months
🔵Tinubu (2023–Present) — 9 days
Buhari saw 21 months of strikes during his eight-year tenure. This is the highest total recorded since the return to democracy in 1999.
President Tinubu has seen only 9 days of nationwide strike action as of March 2026.
While universities were shut for over two months every year under the last administration, that loss has dropped to roughly three days per year.

@Femi_OfMainland Have you been to Rwanda before? There is a resort we went to. The distance is like Lagos to Ìbàdàn and there was street lights from the beginning to almost the end
Ogun State is home to over 5,000 manufacturing companies including Nestle, Dangote, Unilever and Lafarge. Second most industrialised state in Nigeria after Lagos. Yoruba land is not just culture and history. It is where a significant share of everything you use daily gets made.
If you want to lead Lagos and you are not Yoruba, stop using the UK or California as examples. Instead, start by allowing a Fulani or an Igala person to lead in your own region. That's the only example that truly connects to reality; then others can follow.
If you can't accept that in your own region, respect other people's land and their rules. And if you're not comfortable with that, pack your bags and leave—you're not a tree.
