Students protesting the ongoing strike by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, on Thursday, blocked the Ife-Ibadan road.
While the action lasted, motorists and commuters were stranded for hours.
The students gathered on the platform of the National Association of Nigerian Students, Zone ‘D’ South West.
The group’s zonal coordinator, Olatunji Adegboye, during the protest in Gbongan, called for a law that will prohibit children of politicians from schooling abroad.
Adegboye said such a law would make the operation of public universities more efficient.
He also demanded proper funding of education while passing a vote of no confidence on the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu.
He said, “We are on the road because of the ongoing ASUU strike that started on February 14, it is seven months already. We are tired of staying at home, we want to resume.
“We are demanding proper funding of education sector. We are passing a vote of no confidence on the Minister of Education, (Adamu Adamu) because I believe he is not competent.
“We want the legislative arm to pass a bill that will make it impossible for children of politicians to travel outside the country to study. They should be here and study with us in Nigeria.”
