The Federal Government has been urged by the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) to end the ongoing Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike within a few business days.
This information was released in a press release on Thursday from the factional president of the NANS, Umar Faruk Lawal, in Abuja.
Following the impact of the ASUU strike, according to Lawal, Nigerian students' patience has been severely tested to the breaking point.
He said,
“Academic Staff Union (ASUU) has been on strike for almost eight months, the academic calendar cannot be used as a parameter for years of studies anymore, as students keep suffering from the long-term effect of the strike. The Nigerian students’ patience has been stretched beyond its elastic limit and they have resolved to liberate themselves from the recurring effect of the industrial action by ASUU”.
He asserted that the group will rally students to occupy the Ministry of Education unless the Federal Government resolves the trade issue with ASUU within a few days.
"The ongoing ASUU strike should be resolved by the Federal Government through the Ministry of Education within a few working days. In order to occupy the Ministry of Education until our demands are granted, we will organize our students, he said.
Remember that the ASUU strike started in February as a result of the Federal Government's inability to accommodate its demands.
Since then, public universities have been locked.
