Posted by: danielon September 17, 2013
The National Association of Nigerian Students, (NANS) on Monday passed a vote of no confidence in the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan for failing to elevate the educational sector to international standard.
National President of NANS, Prince Miaphen, in a statement distributed to reporters, said that the Jonathan administration had failed to address the lingering ASUU crisis and by so doing caused major setback to past efforts aimed at revamping the standard of education in the country.
“It worrisome and infuriating that the administration of Goodluck Jonathan has failed to implement the 2009 agreement reached with ASUU. This as a result has caused a great setback in the pursuit of education by Nigerian students.”
The NANS president said the present administration was toeing the path of past governments that paid lip services to education and other sensitive sectors of the Nigerian economy.
He added that President Jonathan’s non-challant attitude had resulted in the current rot in the academic sector.
“NANS therefore pass a vote of no confidence on the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan for the poor pursuit of qualitative education among students in Nigeria,”
The student leader lamented that despite the fact that Mr. Jonathan and the out gone Minister of Education – Prof. Ruqqayatu Rufa’I were both academics, they failed to proffer lasting solutions to the problems confronting the educational system.
The statement said the situation in the education sub-sector has resulted in Nigerian higher institutions producing unemployable graduates.
“As a result of persistence strike each academic calendar, our universities and other high institutions churns out half-baked graduates every year due to incessant strike action, we cannot suffer in silence while individuals responsible for our travails send their own children to choice universities school abroad,” he said.
