KanyiDaily recalls that ASUU had embarked on a warning strike since February 14, over the failure of the federal government to meet its demands.

In a Twitter post on Monday, April 18, Rema who got admission to study ‘Creative Arts’ at the UNILAG, lamented that he is yet to resume classes since he announced his admission in January.

Reacting to the tweet, Bowen University told the singer that he would not be delayed by ASUU if he becomes its student.

In his response to the tweet, Rema called the attention of UNILAG to Bowen’s tweet while also expressing his excitement at the Osun-based varsity’s gesture.
