Students of National Association of Nigerian Students (S) at various zones demonstrated against the continued closure of universities throughout the country.
Zone D leaders of S marched from the Mokola roundabout in Ibadan starting from Tuesday morning.
Also in Lagos, the Joint Campus Committee of S mobilised their students in protest march from the NLC building in Yaba area of Lagos.
