The National Association of Nigeria Students, NANS, has appealed to the Federal Government and Academic Staff Union of University, ASUU, to find common grounds to prevent disruption in the academic calendar. The NANS Senate President, Mr Henry Okunomo, stated this on Sunday in Akure at a news briefing.
Recall that ASUU had issued a three-week ultimatum to the Federal Government over some outstanding demands. According to Okunomo, the association is appealing to the Federal Government to take immediate and decisive action to prevent disruption in the educational sector by preventing any strike.
“These strikes, often as a result of unresolved issues between university lecturers and the government, have profound and far reaching consequences on the educational journey of countless students. “It is with a heavy heart and a determined spirit that I address this pressing issue today, appealing to the government to take immediate and effective steps to prevent our lecturers from resorting to another strike. “We, the students, are the primary stakeholders in this situation.
