NANS ZONE D, SOUTH WEST GIVES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT 21 DAYS ULTIMATUM TO FULFILL SUBSIDY REMOVAL PALLIATIVE MEASURES PROMISES…

The Zonal, State and Local Union leadership of the above named Association met on THURSDAY dated 23rd of November, 2016 at the Oyo State College of Health Technology, Eleyele, Ibadan Nigeria on the hot demand of the entire Students of the zone, especially the unending economy hardship of the country as it affect us as students in all aspect, other State of the Nation and how far thus far the Federal Government has gone in fulfilling the promises made during the subsidy removal.

It is no longer news that for almost six months [6] now the President Buhari led Federal government removed subsidy with different promises tagged ‘PALLIATIVE MEASURE’ presented to different professional Unions, Associations Stakeholders and Nigerians including our union at different meetings which was accepted then on the basis of trust and integrity of the Mr President and the present regime. As regards the students’ wing, here are the federal government major promises said to be address as the palliative measures for the subsidy removal.

1. Increment in the minimum wages of workers [our direct parents].
2. Proper funding of Education.
3. Addressing the exorbitant increment in tuition fee on different public tertiary institutions across board.
4. Granting and provision of scholarship to indigent and deserving students.
5. Creating full and gainful employment opportunities in all parastatals for unemployed graduates.
6. Easing the transportation system for students across campuses.
7. Development of all the existing local refineries.
8. Addressing and total stoppage of political victimization of Union leaders and proscription of Students Union Government on our campuses.
9. Addressing the austere effect of the subsidy removal on the Nigerian masses.
10. Addressing the anomalies in the power sector and exorbitant charges by electricity distribution companies.

However, it is very clear that the acceptability of the above listed promises by the federal government of Nigeria by NANS ZONE D, SOUTH WEST some months ago were not borne out of personal interest rather than to bring better living system to the entire Student in South West region of the country.

LO and BEHOLD! It is highly disappointing that the APC led Federal government has not fulfil these promises [Palliative Measures] and it is crystal clear now with the present situation of the country that there is no sign of commitment from the Government in addressing this stated promises as it appears as if the government is confused and lack capacity to handle the system which sad reflection is boldly written on the faces of all Nigerians, especially we the Students and Youths who are mostly dependents.
The only thing Mr President and his Ministers are known for is blame games since inception till date.
Without mincing words; We hereby give the President Muhammadu Buhari led Federal Government a fourteen (14) days ultimatum to address the above listed resolution/promises made in the interest of peace for we have suffered enough without seeing any hope and the future is blinking already. Failure to address the aforementioned issues, Nigerian students will not hesitate to shut down economic activities in the southwest region of Nigeria.

This is our resolution, on it we stand tall and nothing shall discourage us, not even the graveyard…

Amandla Ngawethu!!!
