ASUU Strike: NANS Asks Varsity Students To Join Protest
Mohammed Oluwatimileyin Taoheed reports,
The governing council of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has begun mobilisation of students for the planned solidarity protest by the Nigeria Labour Congres(NLC).
This was seen in a statement issued by Comrade Sunday Asefon in Abuja on Wednesday morning, the Track News Nigeria has learnt.
The two-day protest is scheduled to hold on July 26 and 27, 2022 over the unending strike by Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.
The students’ body which made known their support for the two-day solidarity action against ASUU, has called on all students within the country to join hands together for this mission.
Part of the statement reads: “No going back,” ASUU insists, blames Ngige over long-running strike
Count us out of strike, ASUU’s faction, CONUA declares
Asefon commended the leadership of the NLC for their steadfastness and commitment to join forces with well-meaning Nigerians to advocate for the end of the protracted ASUU strike.
“While NANS has organised various protests in the past with no substantial results, also our advocacy and consultation has not yielded any desirable result. We have activated political solution and we are very hopeful that an end is in the purview,”he said.
He noted:“However, we are in total support of the planned protest by NLC as we believe this will stem up the advocacy and assist in no mean measure to put adequate pressure on the Federal Government to do all that is required to stop the strike.”
“I, therefore, direct all NANS structures across the country to mobilise and join NLC protest.
”NANS will only be involved in the mobilization of students to the protest sites and will act based on the direction provided by the NLC.
”NANS structures across the country shall submit to the leadership of NLC all through the protest.”
