University students under the umbrella of National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, have threatened to shut down activities in the private universities in the country should the ASUU strike linger on.

The students who took to the streets in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State capital, displayed several placards with various inscriptions, lambasted the Federal Government for its failure to honour the agreement it entered into with ASUU since 2009.

Director of Action and Mobilisation NANS, South–West, Asafon Sunday, condemned the refusal of Federal Government to budget a reasonable amount of money to education sector as recommended by UNESCO which is 26% of the country’s total budget.

He noted that some countries with smaller Gross Domestic Product, GDP, like Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Kenya, Morocco and Botswana had budgetary allocations to education sector as follows, 31%, 20%, 23%, 17.7% and 19% respectively to 8.5% that Nigerian government had budgeted for education in 2013.

Also speaking, Steven Adara, a student leader from Ekiti State University, EKSU lamented:

“We will mobilise and disrupt academic activities in the private universities because it is the sons and daughters of the rich that are in these schools.”
