ASUU Strike: NANS mobilizes students to join NLC protest nationwide
The leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students has begun mobilization of students to join the planned protests by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) nationwide.
NANS had earlier reported that the south west zone of the students’ body first made the decision yesterday and now their calls have been backed up by the national body of the association.
Conveying the latest development in a statement issues by NANS president, Comr. Sunday Asefon on wednesday 20 July 2022 in Abuja, NANS expressed full support for the planned protest.
The statement reads:
“While NANS has organised various protests in the past with no substantial results, also our advocacy and consultation has not yielded any desirable result. We have activated political solution and we are very hopeful that an end is in the purview.
“However, we are in total support of the planned protest by NLC as we believe this will stem up the advocacy and assist in no mean measure to put adequate pressure on the Federal Government to do all that is required to stop the strike.
“I, therefore, direct all NANS structures across the country to mobilise and join NLC protest.
” NANS will only be involved in the mobilization of students to the protest sites and will act based on the direction provided by the NLC.
” NANS structures across the country shall submit to the leadership of NLC all through the protest,”he concluded.
Recall that the NLC and other unions in the financial and aviation sector recently expressed their plans to embark on a solidarity protest with ASUU against the continous closure of schools across the country which is entering into its sixth month.
