NANS Begs ASUU to Call off Strike

The National Association of Nigeria Students (NANS) has called on the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), to consider the plight of students and shelve their industrial action.

In a press statement on Friday in Abuja, NANS President, Comrade Chinonso Obasi said that it is obvious that times are hard owing to the general economic down turn in the country. “To send students home in the name of strike action would not only worsen the harsh social and economic conditions of Nigerian students, but above all dispose to all forms of anti-social practices, including crimes and other deviant behavours. We plead with ASUU to call off the industrial action while it sits in further dialogue with the Federal Government,” Obasi said.
