National Association Of Nigerian Students, NANS, Embarks On Protest Over ASUU Strike.
Students under the umbrella of National Association Of Nigerian Students have protested the strike action embarked upon by Academic Staff Union Of Universities, ASUU, and beckoned on the Federal Government and ASUU to settle their rift.
The protest which took place around Aroma flyover, Awka and environs, today, Tuesday, 1st March, 2022, had students from Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka and other Universities within Anambra participating. This obstructed the free flow of traffic on the expressway.
The students carried placards and banners which all called on both Federal Government and ASUU not to jeopardize their education and end the strike action, as they chanted solidarity songs.
Speaking during the protest, the Chairman, National Association Of Nigerian Students, NANS, Anambra State Chapter, Mr. Peter Onyekweife explained that the strike action is becoming incessant, which affects their study, year of graduation and extra cost on them and their parents, as many students have resorted to crime due to the strike.
The President, Student Union Government Of UNIZIK, Awka, Mr. Charles Ijeoma noted that students want to go back to their classrooms and would not want to be rushed with their studies when eventually school resumes, which failure to heed to their call will lead to massive protest.
Other students who spoke during the protest, including the National President Of National Association Of Polytechnic Students, Mr. Kingsley Asiegbu and the SUG Vice President Of UNIZIK, Awka, Miss Ifunnaya Okoye emphasized that it was easy to tag graduates half - baked while little or nothing is taught them at school due to incessant strike actions , urging the Federal Government to fulfill their agreement with ASUU to bring the lecturers back to the classroom.
