he update on ASUU Strike is the news of proprietors of private universities in Nigeria declaring that the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has no right to shut down private Universities in the country. This is coming after it as reported that NANS threatened to embark on shutting down of private universities in Nigeria if the Federal Government does not respond to ASUU’s demands on time.

Read the full details as reported by Tribune:

The proprietors of private universities in the country have called on the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) to appeal to those managing the education sector in the country rather than threaten to seal off privately- owned universities over the protracted strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

Speaking on the threat by NANS to seal off privately owned universities at the weekend in Akure, the Vice Chancellor of Babcock University, Professor James Makinde and the President of the Western Union of Seventh Day Adventist Church in Nigeria, Dr Oyeleke Owolabi, described the threat as an empty one.

Makinde said the students body had no right under the Nigerian law to take such action over the lingering ASUU strike, saying all the universities were licensed to operate under the nation’s law.

The VC, who spoke alongside Dr Owolabi at a press conference organised during the Union constituency, said if the failure of NITEL could not affect privately- owned telecommunications companies in the country, then the students could not embark on such action.

True talk, NANS obviously has no right to close down private universities, it had better start looking for a reasonable means of interfering in d ongoing strike and forget this cock and bull story
