Final Year Student Cries Out As He Loses N350k Job Offer Due To ASUU Strike

A final year Nigerian student from the Federal University Of Technology, Owerri, named, Sam-Obisike Chibueze Wenendah, has revealed how the ongoing ASUU strike made him lose a well-paid job.

Chibueze Wenendah is a Nigerian software techie who is currently a 400-level student of Mechatronics at the University

According to Chibueze, he applied for job roles as a student, and went for the interview and passed, but the process was terminated when it was discovered he is still a student, a setback caused by delayed graduation.

His words: “I am bothered because I have been offered full-time roles by some firms. I passed the interviews but when they found out I was still a student, everything was terminated. I was supposed to have graduated by now.” 

When he was asked the salary for the lost job role, he said it was N350k.

On who to blame for the incessant strikes that delay students’ graduation in Nigerian Universities Chibueze heaped the blame on governance. 

He said: “I blame the system we are in. If things were going fine, there will be no tussle between ASUU and the government. ASUU is fighting a just cause. I blame the situation of things and governance in Nigeria.” 

However, Chibueze has found a way of coping with the strike as he has got himself busy from day one. 

According to him: “I’m bullish on growth. I spend a lot of time studying, during weekends. Some days, I travel out of school to attend tech events connecting with people and also keeping up with trends.”
