National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, plans to hold a nation-wide protest in a bid to force the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, to end the protracted strike of university lecturers.

Responding to allegations that the students’ body was not bothered by the 60-day-old strike, NANS President, Yinka Gbadebo, said the union had been employing other matured approaches to appeal to both the government and ASUU.

“NANS is not relaxed but we have decided to take approaches that don’t require us to make noise. We have been meeting with executive members of ASUU, the Nigerian Universities Commission, Minister of Education and the FG.

“We have also written to meet with the universities NEEDS Implementation Committee chairman and Governor of Benue State, Mr. Gabriel Suswan. If we don’t receive any response by the end of the week, we would issue an ultimatum and take it up from there.

“I have been consulting with all SUG leaders in the affected schools so that we would speak with one voice. Going to the streets would be our last option but we would do so to protest how long this strike has lingered,” Gbadebo said.

  4. it’s the time for them to starting raising the issues of mass protest by our so call NANS but am not blaming them because they have collecteds their own part of the money(bribe),but i will appreciate them if they can take it as an immediately event so that we nigeria’s students can knowns where we are going whether we will go and learn casaul work in other to progress in our life.The contentious of earning allowances between the FG and ASUU has shown us clearly that they are not concerned with our life at all,i wil urge all nigeria’s students to make up their mind in colaboration with NANS to come out for mass protest anytime any day to show FG and ASUU that students have their own rigth when come to bone of contention.Greatest Nigeira student!!!Greate.Accounting Student…..O.O.U.300L

  7. I can’t support dis mess, we hav been on strike 4 60days. Was it nt de same NANS dat was insulting ASUU? I can’t go and summit my life bc some cargos somewhere are belly full with bribe. Are u guys up 4 sacrifice? No be me, i no dey. We don’t hav strong NANS or es dis mess shud hav been ova.

  8. I fully support the idea that came out from ASUU & NANS, because any failure to meet up with the need of nigeria education will definately cause nigeria get pregrented of future worse strik. It is better to be lat than to be too lat.the cause of backward movement of nigeria is nothing else but selfishness from every sector in nigeria o ye leaders $ followers of nigeria lets repent & raise up the flag of presteous & glorieous of our LAND that has been loss. Looking forword to see better NIGERIA IN FUTURE.

  9. pls can someone help me interpret what this Babalola saheed olawale is writing. If a 300 level student in a nigerian university cannot construct one correct sentence, then it is worse than is perceived. Our govt. has crippled our education. They have made us laughing stock before our contemporaries who r more fortunate than us because they are either schooling abroad or in super expensive private varsities in this country. This is far beyond ASUU and their strike. This needs God.

  18. Dear NANS, pls as we prepare for the riot or protest do not forget to inform both ASUU and FG that if any one student die in the hands of police or army as a result of the protest that two menbers of ASUU and two Menbers of Govt agencies will go down equally.

  21. I think de FG is not even concern abt we de students, dis is due 2 de non payment of lecturer’s salaries on de basis of no work no pay by GEJ. In view of de above, i can see de FG is not ready or beta still, wiling 2 resolve dis issue. De question now is, where can we run 2? Oh our GOD we pray dat, may u intervane in dis mata, pls God hear de prayers of we ur poor children and touch deir hats 4 de issue 2 be resolved amicably. God u are all our hopes.

  22. What can we do than to call unto the most high to quickly intervene to the issue cos the way things are going doesn’t seems that the govt will back-off from his strong-head attitude. But i seeks the intervention of God to make this ongoing strike a thing of the past in time. Lord, your consent and intervention we seek. Help us.
