Breaking: Passengers stranded as students block access to Lagos Airport (PICTURES)

Students have blocked all road access leading to Lagos Airport as they protest against the lingering strike by the members of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

Scores of both local and international passengers have been left stranded at the Lagos airport as the aggrieved Nigerian students continue to carry out their earlier threats to shut down the airports to force the federal government to settle the welfare demands of the lecturers.

The aggrieved Nigerian students seem to be achieving their aim of blocking flight operations and other activities at the Lagos airport as they have succeeded in blocking both the local and international access ways to the airport.

The students who in their hundreds had earlier defied the heavy rains were able to block the Oshodi/Ajao axis leading to the international airport before proceeding to block the bridge leafing proper to the departure side of the international airport.
