       ASUU strike: Undergraduates take to'ragging'
       By: Ebenezer Date: August 16, 2013, 7:27 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       As the strike embarked upon by the
       Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU,
       entered its sixth week, some students have
       devised “ingenious” means of making
       money; they declared Wednesday their “rag-
       day”.
       As early as 8:45am, major inter-city roads
       and streets were literally overtaken by the
       students, who have been on “forced
       vacation”, since university lecturers
       “lowered their pens”, to press home
       enhancement of allowances.
       With their shorts, tops and trousers turned,
       the young Nigerians approached motorists
       stocked in traffic as well as passers-by, for
       money. Though, the “rag-day” was said to
       be by students of College of Education,
       ‘Inside FCT’ was told that most of those
       “ragging” are undergraduates, who have
       been out of school, since the ongoing strike
       started.
       The university students were said to have
       taken advantage of the development, to help
       themselves. One of the students, who gave
       her name simply as Sindy said: “Seriously,
       I’m an undergraduate and you know our
       universities have been on strike for over one
       month now, and we’ve got needs to meet.
       I have to rag at least to make some cool
       money to keep on keeping on”, she said.
       Another student, Moses Abahing, said they
       had to do this, since “some parents and
       guardians hardly give them pocket money,
       during strike or holiday periods.”
