As Nigeria marked her 52nd Independence anniversary yesterday, the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, UI chapter,  Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC and several activists were among not fewer than 3,000 people that protested against Nigerian government yesterday in Ibadan.

While ASUU members were taken to the rally  by their Chairman, Dr. Segun Ajiboye, NLC was led by Comrade Bashir Olanrewaju.
Also joined in the protest march were National Socialist Movement and Senior Staff of Nigerian Universities, SSANU.

The associations staged the protest in conjunction with the Joint Action Front, JAF.
The rally attracted other Nigerians who supported the protesting unions that things were not done the right way by our leaders.
The protest which also included civil society groups was coordinated by the state co-ordinator of JAF, Dr. Ademola Aremu.

As early as 8a.m., protesters converged at the University of Ibadan and marched towards Samonda, Sango, Elewure, Bodija, Housing Estate, Favours, and Bodija.
During the protest, placards with inscriptions such as ‘Nigeria at 52 still crawling like a toddler’, ‘Stop unemployment and Poverty now’, ‘We say no to fuel hike and privatisation’ and ‘No to Casualization’, ‘We need good governance’, were displayed.
