NAAT President, Comrade Ibeji Nwokoma, announced this decision on Wednesday during a peaceful protest at the University of Maiduguri.

He described the situation as “unfortunate and regrettable” and questioned the government’s commitment to resolving issues affecting NAAT members.


According to him, “The refusal by the Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy to effect this approval raises more questions than answers on the true commitment and sincerity on the part of Federal Government in resolving the issues and in alleviating the sufferings of Nigerians, particularly NAAT members.”
