Olowu of Kuta, HRM Oba Adekunle Makama oyelude, Tegbosun iii, has appealed to the federal government to resolve the lingering crisis involving it and the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, without further delay.
Olowu made this appeal on Tuesday when his convoy ran into the road block mounted by National Association of Nigerian Students’ NANS on Lagos/Ibadan Expressway protesting the lingering crisis.
The monarch who addressed the students body and urged them to open the expressway to ensure free flow of traffic promised to take up the issue with the authorities concerned.
He, however, commended the students for listening to him and the security for the way they handled the peaceful protest from degenerating to fracas.
Oba Makama on his Facebook page wrote; “Earlier today we ran into a massive protest by National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, on the lingering ASUU strike.

“As a father and Natural Ruler I have to led other traditional rulers on my Entourage to Address the Organisers of the protest so as to Ameliorate the suffering of the commuters on the ever busy Highway.
