NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 21 – Police have dispersed University of Nairobi students who staged protests along Waiyaki Way on Wednesday, demanding an immediate resolution to the ongoing lecturers’ strike that has disrupted learning in public universities.
The demonstrations disrupted traffic along the busy Nairobi highway as students expressed frustration over the prolonged closure of lecture halls and uncertainty surrounding the resumption of academic activities.
The protesters called on the government and university lecturers’ unions to resolve the impasse, warning that students were bearing the brunt of the industrial action through missed lectures, delayed examinations and interruptions to their academic programmes.
