The\u00a0Education Writers’ Association of Nigeria (EWAN)<\/a>\u00a0on Monday 25 April mobilized other stakeholders in the country’s education sector to demand “immediate reopening of Nigerian Public Universities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other participants in the protest included a rights activist and former national secretary of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR), Jiti Ogunye; convener of Concerned the Parents and Educators (CPE) Network, Yinka Ogunde, and representatives of the National Parent-Teachers’ Association of Nigeria (NAPTAN), <\/em>among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The association, a body of journalists across print, broadcast and online media organizations who report education in the country, said the intervention became necessary “following the nonchalant attitude of President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to the continued shutdown of universities for almost three months.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the peaceful walk to the office of Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, EWAN presented a list of demands contained in a letter addressed to President Buhari through the Governor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter was received on behalf of the Governor by the special adviser on education, Tokunbo Wahab, while a lawmaker representing Ikeja 2 constituency, Ademola Kasumu, received another copy on behalf of the speaker of the state’s house of assembly, Mudasiru Obasa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on behalf of EWAN, it’s chairman, Mr. Mojeed Alabi, said EWAN is greatly worried and concerned by the “large-scale rot in the nation’s education sector,”<\/em> according to him both the federal government and the striking university workers have contributed significantly to the rotten system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members of the association in their tens carried placards with inscriptions that included “No to incessant strikes;” “Save education from total collapse;” “No to corruption on campuses,” “Fund education adequately,” “No to sexual harassment,”<\/em> among other demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Mr. Alabi said universities in Nigeria, like other academic institutions, have been abandoned to suffer infrastructural decay, death of facilities, poor teacher-student ratios, poor funding, and moral academic corruption and of course largely linked largely to the politicization of the Education sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
