“we’ll Begin Occupy Nigeria In 7 Days”..says NANS by eluquenson(m): 12:39pm On Aug 29, 2013
Nigerian Students, NANS Vow To Go On Riot &
Occupy Nigeria Until ASUU Strike Ends
…….We’ll Begin Occupy Nigeria In 7 Days
Peeved by almost two-month old strike by the
Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the
National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS),
yesterday issued a one-week ultimatum to the
Federal Government and the union’s leadership to
resolve their differences or face serious
consequences.
The students said if the impasse was not resolved
within the next seven days, it will mobilise students
on a nation-wide riot in what it described as
‘operation occupy Nigeria’.
The students’ body appealed to ASUU to return to the
classroom and continue negotiation with the Federal
Government since the latter claimed to have released
over N100 billion for infrastructural development and
another N30 billion for allowances.
This was the highpoint of a protest by the students
who blocked the Asaba end of the River Niger Bridge
to press home their demands. The protest caused
traffic snarl for several hours as the students stalled
movements to the eastern part of the country even
as those returning were barred.
NANS coordinator in the South-South and South-East,
Comrade Chinonso Obasi, stated that students were
at the receiving end of the strike and vowed that
they would take their destinies in their own hands if
the parties failed to reconcile within a week.
“We are appealing to ASUU that since the Federal
Government has been able to release N100 billion for
infrastructural development and N30 billion for
allowance, they should go back to classroom and
continue their negotiation or agitation. This is our
prayer and wish.
“We are giving them one week to open the schools or
be ready to face corrosive consequences in form of
nation-wide demonstration and riots. We are ready to
mobilise for that and it will be operation occupy
Nigeria,” he said.
Lamenting the effect of the strike, Obasi said
students have become prone to accidents on the
highways and the female students have been
reduced to sex hawkers on the streets.
His words: “I stand to tell you that a lot of accidents
have been recorded and 99.9% of the victims are
Nigerian students. If they were in classrooms, they
would not have fallen victims of road crashes.
“Our female students have become commercial sex
hawkers on the streets in order to make ends meet.
This colossal effect is more than what ASUU is
agitating for. Hence, we can no longer fold our arms
and watch things go wrong.”
