We are calling on the Federal Government to reverse the anti-people increment in stamp duty, PMS price, electricity tariff and the stoppage of the anti-social media bill amongst others

The National Association of Nigerian Students (Zone D) on Friday said it has commenced mobilisation of students for a mass action next Tuesday to reject the anti-people policies of the President Muhammadu Buhari's government.
