JUST-IN: ASUU STRIKE UPDATE 🔥
NANS SEEKS SWIFT STRIKE RESOLUTION
The Coordinator of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Zone B, Ekanem Utibe, has urged the Federal Government to accede to the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and ensure students return to school.
He spoke during a protest in Akwa Ibom.
Utibe urged both parties to swiftly settle their differences and ensure students do not suffer for long.
He noted that if the strike persists, students would be left with no option but to occupy the critical sectors of government agencies.
” It is said that students are being delayed. A course of four years extends beyond the normal duration. This also results in paying house rent for a longer period of time, getting old and not being able to go for National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) program; inability to get a job upon graduation, among others,” he said.
The NANS coordinator chided politicians for using huge funds to purchase party nomination forms and for spending dollars at the just concluded primaries.
Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU) and other university unions have been on strike for more than three months. The unions’ demands include better funding for the nation’s public tertiary institutions and improved welfare for their members.
Recently the government released N34 billion for the payment of minimum wage consequential adjustments from 2019, however, ASUU maintained that it would not call off the strike until its major demands are met
