News: NANS urges ASUU to end strike

Asuu

THE National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has called on members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), who are currently on strike, to return to classrooms in the interest of the students, warning that attempts at keeping students at home longer than necessary portends great danger to their future.


NANS president, Mr Yinka Gbadebo, in a statement released in Ibadan on Thursday, called on the leadership of members of ASUU to return to their duty posts in the interest of Nigerian students, while continuing their negotiations with the Federal Government.

It noted that the myriads of problems in the education sector required all stakeholders to come together and articulate a common demand, adding that a situation where one union shuts the entire education system was not only counter-productive, but also unhealthy in the face of global competitiveness.

While also speaking on the Rivers State crisis, NANS called on the gladiators to sheathe their swords and work towards the attainment of a united and peaceful Nigeria, while urging President Goodluck Jonathan to act as the father of the nation by calling on actors in the crisis to come together and find lasting peace to the problem.
