The National Association of Nigeria Students (NANS) has called on the Nigeria government, to stop bastardizing educational sector of the country.
Speaking on behalf of the students body, Sunday Asefon, NANS president, who spoke on Wednesday on Sunrise Daily, a Channels Television programme, threatened to block all federal roads and protest at two federal ministries, if the industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is not resolved by the weekend.
According to him: “If we do not see a concrete decision between the federal government and ASUU or if they fail to address this issue by Saturday or Sunday, or if there is no press statement from ASUU telling students to go back to school, then our ultimatum stands,”
“We would have no choice but to tell Nigeria students to block all federal roads and the office of the minister of education and office of the minister of labour should also be blocked.

“Students are angry and disappointed at this moment that after the 2020 ASUU strike that lasted for nine months, a lot has been lost.”
The students leader added: “If we look at it, 30 percent to 40 percent of ASUU’s agitation is for the benefit of the Nigerian students,”
“We are calling on the government to go into action and implement the agreement so all these industrial actions can be put aside.
“All of these actions affect the students because even if the ASUU goes on strike for two years, their salaries will still be paid as well as the ministers, nothing will happen to them.”
