NANS Set to Sue Minister of Education
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has disclosed plans to sue the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu after he asked students to sue the Academic Staff Union of Universities over the incessant strike.
According to the minister, the decision of the union to close schools for six months have greatly hurt students and they should pay for the damages incurred over the strike period. He further stated at the 47th Session of the State House Ministerial Briefing organized by the Presidential Communications Team at the presidential Villa in Abuja that the federal government will not bear the liability of compensating millions of students prevented for six months over lost time hence the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, called on the association to consider dragging ASUU to court over the industrial action.
Responding to the minister’s stance, ASUU president, Emmanuel Osodeke revealed that if the government is unwilling to pay the backlog of salaries for the period of the strike, lecturers will not continue with lessons from the 2021/2022 session, but would rather start from the 2022/2023 academic session.
NANS President, Sunday Ashefon who reacted to the minister’s comments in a statement issued on Thursday, August 18, said the association would commence consultations to sue the Federal Government and the minister.
