Adegboye Olatunji, made this known in Abuja on Monday, at a protest to All Progressive Congress (APC) Secretariat in solidarity with Gov. Dapo Abiodun of Ogun to run for second term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olatunji said that it was time both parties came together to resolve the issues leading to the strike as students were at the receiving end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Olatunji: <em>\u201cWe are planning to block government organizations that generate money for them if the ASUU issue is not resolved.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWe have been protesting on<\/em> <em>this issue by occupying major roads in the South West but we believe if we ground airports, the government will do something about the strike.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, Olantunji said that the student body had dissociated itself from Abiodun\u2019s prosecution and disqualification from contesting 2023 elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said Abiodun\u2019s education policy remained enviable in the South West region because his coming on board had helped in the resuscitation of some tertiary institutions in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olatunji stressed that: <em>\u201cTheir call for prosecution and disqualification of Gov. Abiodun from running for second time in office through their petition<\/em> <em>to the EFCC copied to the National Chairman of the APC is nothing but ruse that cannot stand the test of time.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWe wish to advise them and their sponsors of this unwarranted political venture to follow the right channels through legal means to prove their allegations as their claims are nothing but figment of imagination.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cAs students\u2019 leaders from South West, we can state unequivocally that the way and manner Abiodun is conducting the affairs of Ogun has hitherto improved the standard of living of all residents in the State.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cAnd of great concern to us as students is the improvement in the standard of education in Ogun State.<\/em> <em>His adherence to rule of law in managing the affairs of the state is highly remarkable to us as young people,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olatunji, however, said that the student body passed a vote of confidence on the governor for his commitment and sacrifices toward education development in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reacting to the alleged N80 billion fraud by the Accountant-General of the Federation, Mr. Ahmed Idris, NANS Joint Campus Committee (JCC) Chairman, Comr. Damilola Kehinde said the alleged fraud was a damage on the integrity of the country when students were at home due to the ASUU strike. And also the educational sector was suffering as the country was not able to implement the UN recommendation of 26 per cent budget on education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Kehinde&#8217;s words: <em>\u201cWe have been at the forefront of the ASUU struggle ever since it commenced, we have shut down most of the federal roads in south west agitating that the Federal Government listen to the plight of ASUU.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWe have not kept our sword in fighting for<\/em> <em>the lecturers and the generality of the students<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cIf government officials or politicians can upgrade themselves every three months spending billions of<\/em> <em>naira for wardrobe allowances, I don\u2019t think it is wrong to also equip our academics.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWhat ASUU is clamouring for is not up to what a single person is embezzling. I think it is high time government has to rise by using some of these persons as deterrent to others.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Zone D, on Monday threatened to shutdown major airports if the face-off between<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":415,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2054","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
