Protest Over Vcs Sack: Police Tear Gas NANS by tolexy007(m): 4:11pm On Feb 18, 2016 |
A team of policemen on Thursday dispersed protesting members of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) at the Ministry of Education, Federal Secretariat, Abuja . The policemen manhandled a camera man working for the African Independent Television (AIT), and smashed his camera. NANS President, Mr Tijani Shehu, and no fewer than five other students, were arrested. The students had gathered at the entrance of the ministry, protesting the recent sack of vice-chancellors of 13 Federal Universities. The students carried placards with inscriptions: “ASUU Break the Silence Against this Injustice’’, “Sack of VCs, an Attempt to Cripple our Citadels’’, “Say No to Injustice’’, among others. They argued that the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, erred in the appointment of new vice-chancellors, which they said was a usurpation of the duties of universities governing councils. “On February 12, 2016, the Federal Government, without due recourse to the governing councils of 12 Federal Universities and the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), removed their vice-chancellors without any clear statement as to what their offences might have been. “What is the reason for the sacking of the four vice-chancellors of Federal Universities and that of NOUN before the expiration of their tenures? “We request that the Federal Government, should in the interest of due process, reverse its decision and reinstate the illegally sacked vice-chancellors,’’ Shehu said. The NANS president said that the association duly notified all relevant agencies including the Minister of Education of its protest and wondered why the minister could not come to address them. He accused the Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Students (ASUU) of complicity in the sack of the vice-chancellors as it had been silent on the issue. However, trouble started brewing when the students smashed the windscreen of a sports utility vehicle with registration number FG 23 A31, belonging the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs as it drove by. The students chanted angrily, threatening to force their way into the ministry, if Adamu did not come out and address them. All entreaties by the policemen for the students to retreat, were resisted, resulting in the firing of tear gas at them. At this point, journalists, bystanders and the protesting students scampered for safety while the policemen made arrests. Adamu recently announced the appointment of new vice-chancellors for 12 Federal Universities and NOUN. When contacted for comments on the development, the Public Relations Officer, FCT Police Command, said he had yet to be briefed on the issue. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/02/protest-over-vcs-sack-police-tear-gas-nans/ 1 Like 2 Shares |

Buhari in action. If you protest you will be arrested. This is militocracy. All security agencies have buhari's body language manual, they understand and follow it religiously. Killing, arresting and illegally detaining Nigerians at any seen opportunity. 62 Likes 2 Shares |

Unfortunately ASUU may not comment on this matter as its alleged the sacked VCs did not allow establishment of any union in their universities. 12 Likes 1 Share |

emzila:Universities have autonomy...ASUU fought for it for years...Appointment of VCs is the responsibility of the governing council... The presidency only ratify their decisions...presidency cannot impose a VC on a University.. that's AUTONOMY. I want to believe the leadership of ASUU is studying this development... except they have been bought as alleged by this NANS executive, all Federal and State Universities will be grounded because they will go on strike Read about autonomy here.. http://www.informationng.com/2012/05/varsity-exercises-autonomy-picks-vc.html 32 Likes 3 Shares |

Nigerian police are unprofessional in their handling of protesters. Don't they know that it is only when protest turns violent that option of arrest or disperse with tear gas then becomes necessary. It is the fundamental right of any Nigerian to protest or hold rally and procession even without Police Permit any where in Nigeria. *NaijaLegalAnalyst* 2 Likes |
