IOL: "Lagos - Nigerian university lecturers began a week-long strike on Monday to protest the government's failure to reinstate dozens of colleagues sacked 14 years ago, a union leader said.
The 49 lecturers from the University of Ilorin in central Nigeria were dismissed by the military regime of General Sani Abacha in 1994 for participating in a general strike. In 2007, the new civilian government of President Umaru Yar'Adua promised to reinstate them."
