Academic institutions in the state, especially the Kaduna Polytechnic, were also shut down, while students were seen in mass returning to their homes.

Speaking, Shedrack Musa, an HND 1 student of Computer Science at Kaduna Polytechnic, said: “If I knew Kaduna Polytechnic would join the strike, I wouldn’t have wasted my transportation money to school.”
