Some of the students, who spoke to the ABS expressed delight at the suspension of the ASUU strike and resumption of academic activities.
A One hundred level student Miss Ijeoma Dike and Somtochukwu Okonkwo, said some teachers came to class to teach and expressed happiness over the resumption of academic activities as they have been bored staying at home, though according to them they used the period of the strike to learn vocational skills and read books and regretted the full rush of academic work on students to cover the lost ground.
