The national market women association stormed the National Assembly to protest the ongoing ASUU strike. Mrs. Felicia Sani, who led the more than 200 protesting women said:
"We are tired of seeing our child at home. We want our children back in school. Enough of this cheap blackmail. We all know what they do with our year one daughters in the university. We equally know that they sell handouts and textbooks. This is not worse than corruption of the highest order?"
The president general of the group, Mrs. Felicia Sani, when asked why she did not criticize the Federal Government for failing to reach an agreement with ASUU said: "which agreement? How do you expect lecturers in state universities to earn same salaries as federal ones? That's impossible. We are not educated but you do not expect a hotel in my village to cost same price as the hotel in Abuja. They are located in different places, so how can a state university lecturer earn same salary with his federal counterpart? We are begging them for the last time. If we come out again, we may have to chase them out of this country and replace them so with so many jobless Nigerians".
