•Students urge govt to honour agreement with ASUU

Nigeria’s 53rd Independence Anniversary celebration was disrupted yesterday in some parts of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, by members of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Zone D (Southwest), who barricaded major roads and halted activities for over three hours.

The students were protesting the underfunding of universities and the strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

Over 1,000 students gathered at Agbowo around 9:30am, walking through Mokola Roundabout, Total Garden, Agodi-Gate to Iwo road Roundabout.

They sang anti-government songs, accusing the Federal Government of insensitivity and demanded adequate funding for the education sector.

The protest was supervised by divisional police officers from divisions in Ibadan, who were in Hilux vans, to prevent hoodlums from hijacking it.

NANS Southwest Coordinator Monsuru Adeyemo (a.k.a Socrates) said there was urgent need to save the education sector from total collapse.

Adeyemo said: “Despite Nigeria’s stupendous wealth, public education, from the primary to tertiary level, is bedevilled by lack of adequate facilities for teaching, learning and research. Hostel facilities in the few schools where they still exist are dilapidated and insufficient. That is why over 10 million children are out of school in Nigeria.

“Only this year, about 1.7 million candidates sat for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and due to the available space in universities, polytechnics and colleges of education, less than 29 per cent of the candidates will be admitted, thus leaving out over 1.2 million.

“We had to actively join the struggle to force the government to implement the agreements with unions, so that tertiary institutions can be re-opened. If this agreement is fully implemented, it will mean better funding for education and a great relief to overburdened students.

“We want the Federal Government to honour the agreements signed with staff unions; proper funding of compulsory, free and quality education from primary to the tertiary level; reinstatement of all politically-victimised student leaders; rejection of any form of harassment, intimidation or humiliation of Nigerian students by the government, school management and staff; outright rejection of the Suswan Committee; no to police attacks and killing of students; proper payment of SIWESS allowances to all universities, polytechnics, monotechnics, colleges of education, vocational and technical studies.”

Wish all students from all geopolitical zones of the country had taken to the streets, protesting against the neglect in the educational system. It is a step in the right direction.

Another o.de! those NANS members are based in Ibadan, how do u expect over one thousand students to easily transport themselves to Abuja. Other state should try follow this development. Let them know the plight of nigerian students, even if they would turn a deaf ear to it!
