The on-going strike by Academic Staff Union of Universities in Nigeria is entering its third month. Hera are suggestions of a few things students can do to make good use of the time the strike offers;
Get a Job: Funny, strange and odd as this may sound, it is the best thing for a student to do; to gather on-the-job experience, especially in a field related to their course of study.
Learn a skill: Learning is a continuos process, and the ASUU strike offers a wise student enough time to learn a new skill that can serve as a source of alternative income.
Start an enterprise- Some students had already discovered themselves before or during campus life, the period of the strike is a good time for them to live their dreams and practice what they had learnt, if not to earn income, but at least to keep them busy
Read Books- Books are embodiments of the writer’s experience and thoughts. Remember the saying ‘experience is the best teacher’; so the experiences of the writer will impact a lot in the life of the reader.
Learn a new language: This can be general, but very important to students whose courses are language related (Communication, Linguistics, History & International Relations). Learning a new international language can go a long way in bridging the communication divide.
Travel-Travel is part of learning; after all, not all you need to know will be learnt in the four walls of the class room
Feel free to add yours…
