The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has issued
a two weeks ultimatum to the federal government and Academic
Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to end the ongoing strike
action or face the full wrath of Nigerian students. This was
contained in a statement signed by the association’s president,
Danielson Akpan.
The statement reads, “The leadership of the National Association
of Nigerian Students (NANS), after a holistic critique of the
lingering industrial actions embarked upon by the academic staff
of our tertiary institution has issued a TWO WEEKS ULTIMATUM to
both the FG and ASUU to call off the lingering strike or face
the full wrath of angry Nigerian students.
The president equally frowned at the fact that the Acadmic Staff
Union of Universities resisted vehemently, the idea of having
students’ representatives during the negotiation meeting and
rather prefer to have closed door meetings with Federal Ministry
of Education and the leaders of the Union.
The union leader said the strike has affected students
academics, the accumulating cost of accommodation and could
disenfranchise students from participating in the 2019 general
elections.
He threatened a mass protest across the country and the
mobilisation of 100,000 students for a protest in Abuja.
“They must be ready to pay back monetary compensations to
Nigerian students from their salaries that continue to count
even when they are not working at all, at our detriment,” he
added
“We are determined to carry out these actions to the fullest, if
our campuses are not reopened at the expiration of this
ultimatum. We therefore urge the FG and ASUU not to test our
resolve as Nigerian students have been patient and (have been)
taken for granted for far too long,” Mr Akpan said.
