NANS URGE STRIKING STATE UNIVERSITIES TO RESUME ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES

The National Association of Nigerian Students NANS has urged state-owned universities to resume academic activities.

NANS President, Comrade SUNDAY ASEFON, stated this in a statement describing the strike declared by the Academic Staff Union of Universities as unpatriotic and wicked.

ASEFON alleged that the decision to extend the industrial action after six months was easy for ASUU because they keep employment at various private universities around the country.

The NANS President however urged ASUU leadership in state institutions to toe the path of honour and call off the strike.

ASEFON further called on State Governments to immediately mediate with Vice-Chancellors of state institutions to announce the resumption of academic activities and grant the Vice-Chancellors authority to enforce the resumption.
