A large number of polytechnic students took over Ikorodu road in a renewed protest against the ongoing strike of their lecturers.
Members of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics had embarked on strike since May to demand better condition of service.
The Tuesday protest forced commuters and motorists to ply the service lanes, which resulted in confusion.
The students protest train halted at the Ojota bus stop, where some of the students criticised the government’s policy on education at the Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park.
The Speaker of the Yaba College of Technology Students Legislative Council, Titilayo Arikawe gushed saying, “We (Polytechnics) have been on strike for three months, while Academic Staff Union of Universities began their strike about two weeks ago. They have started talking on resolving their crisis at the National Assembly, neglecting the polytechnic students. Are polytechnic students not students?
