Are you an undergraduate? Is your school observing the strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU)? Do you intend to make the remaining days of the strike productive? If yes, then this piece lays the compass needed to navigate you productively through this strike.

It is no longer news that lecturers of government owned universities are on strike. As a student, you might be at home wondering when this strike will end. You need not worry nor lose sleep. Within this strike period, you can achieve a whole lot of things.

Below are possible six things you can engage yourself while the strike lasts.

(1)  Develop your talents: The natural abilities in you can be developed this period. Embedded in everyone are talents. These God-given traits need not lay fallow in you. Discover your talents if you haven't and harness it. Who knows, your talents might just set a table before you when utilised.

(2)  Hone work related skills: Just as we live in a certificated hemisphere one need not overlook acquiring skills relating his/her field of study. This is the time to hone such skills. Research on skills needed to be a hot cake in your chosen profession. Learn such skills. Employers are in high demand for skill oriented employees. Skills acquired are a handy tool for a prospective entrepreneur.

(3) Read voraciously:  This might sound strange. Nigerians have no reading culture. Develop such culture while on this indefinite break. Read educative materials of interest. "The more that you read, the more things you know. The more that you learn the more places you will go."-Dr. Seuss

(4) Internship: This is the time to gather experience in your field of study. At no cost, apply to organisations for internship jobs. This will help develop your skills and understand work environment. Experience is valuable than money at this stage.

(5) Learn a new language: This is not odd. Learn a new language instead of harnessing your prowess in social media lingua franca. A Foreign language advisably. Before the strike is called off, you might become a professional in this. I am sure your lecturers will be proud of you.

(6) Be an entrepreneur: Rather than hobnobbing on social networks with tweets and posts, start up a business. You might be the awaited entrepreneur to mop the streets of unemployed youths. Create genuine avenues to make wealth.  No harm in starting small. Harness your entrepreneurial abilities. Doing so might just add some wads of naira before school resumes.
