According to (Enrinco Fermi, 1901-1954) an Italian theoretical physicist, "It is no good to try to stop knowledge from going forward. Ignorance is never better than knowledge".

In the attempt of the Nigerian government to stop knowledge from going forward, it has consigned the university teachers to perpetually embark on strike because of its refusal to do what is right for the university education. So it has become a ritual for the lecturers in the universities to embark on strike at least once every year with some strikes lasting up to four months or more. University lecturers, under the aegis of Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, usually embark on strikes over agitations for improved salaries, allowances and infrastructural development of universities.

The ongoing strike, which commenced on July 1, 2013, was as a result of an agreement government reneged on.
