The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has
issued a one-week ultimatun to the Federal Government to address the issues
raised by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), leading to a one
month warning strike.
The students body said, the Federal government has one week
to resolve the crisis or students would embark on a national mass action across
the country.
President of the student’s association, Sunday Adedayo,
stated this on Monday, in Sokoto shortly after signing the reviewed
Constitution of the association at the Sokoto State Government House.
“The Nigerian students have concluded and given the mandate
that if the Federal Government and ASUU do not resolve this between today and
Friday, Nigerian students should mobilise and give the language the government
understands.
“A day of national mass action has been fixed – February 28,
which is next week Monday. Every Nigerian student that the ASUU strike has sent
home should block all the Federal roads and the office of the Minister of
Education and the office of the Minister of Labour should also be blocked. If
Nigerian students are at home, office of the Minister of Education and Minister
of Labour cannot be opened,” the NANS President said.
In a statement, Adebayo described as unfortunate the
attitude of the Federal Government, lamenting that frequent strikes have
bastardised Nigeria’s educational system.
The student body was in Sokoto for the review of its
Constitution after 30 years of its existence.
