Students Protest Against Closure Of Tertiary Institutions by Omoolami100: 2:31am On Aug 18, 2020
National association of university students (NAUS), National association of polytechnic students (NAPS), and National association of Nigerian colleges of education (NANCES) to demand for immediate reopening of campus across Nigeria.

More details in the picture attached.

Nigerian students have resolved to embark on a nationwide protest, as the two-week ultimatum issued the Federal Government by student leaders on school re-opening elapses.

Leaders of National Association of University Students (NAUS), National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) and National Association of College of Education Students (NANCES), at the end of their virtual meeting yesterday, said the protest would hold tomorrow.

The student leaders said they would converge at the Federal Ministry of Education, Abuja, while state coordinators would march to the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) secretariats in their various states.

NANCES president, Mahmud Abubakar, told The Guardian: “The agitation is still one, which is the re-opening of our campuses. We just want to hear from the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, the date for resumption, as we are more open to the deadly coronavirus at home than on campus, and an idle mind is the devil’s workshop.”

On his part, NAPS president, Sunday Asuku, said the protest would be peaceful and that security agencies and the International Human Right Commission (IHRC) had been notified.

“It is so disheartening, appalling and unethical knowing that our government doesn’t place priority on education. We all know that COVID-19 is real, but extremely blown out of proportion in Nigeria. Our institutions have been placed under lock and key for good six months with the claim of preventing the spread of COVID-19 on campuses. As much as we appreciate the government for the acclaimed love, we condemn in totality the continued closure of our institutions.


“We understand that COVID-19 couldn’t halt the electoral process in Edo and Ondo states, even with the multitude coverging during rallies. We are tired of guidelines; reopen our school now,” Asuku stated.

If NCDC boss was disallowed from going to school, he would not be there giving us daily false notice of his covid 419 figure thereby thwarting others future plan. Market, Airport, Church, Mosque are opened but why school? Now, most government and private organizations give age requirement when they want to employ graduate. Oga, stop waisting our time for your success.

Bear in mind that the unions are the cause of the prolonged closure.

whats the need os reopening schools and ASUU continue thier prolong strike for its selfish reasons..
it seems its only those in private uni dt would gain from this protest because as for me, this school lockdown is more about ASUU than about covid..
the f.g must settle with them before the total reopening is announced because it may lead to more problems from those affected by the ASUU strike if schools are open back and the other's in private institutions resumes school..
so for the f.g its better to hide behind the covid and put all schools on lockdown till ASUU wahala is resolved...ma opinion

leave thd jokers, F.G must call a truce with ASUU before tertiary institution can reopen, they are jus using the covid to hold other private university too on stand by..
we have been away from school for too long and if that school lockdown is lifeted and ASUU strike is still on, it would lead to more protest from those affected by the strike, so its better to hold everyone down and blame it on covid..

i don't understand where the misunderstanding is coming from... NCDC have admitted that containing covid19 is beyond her capabilities and Nigerians have expressed and demanded the right to be maskless and go about their business as usual -after-all malaria and pneumonia are exactly like covid19 sooooo; allow the masses face the so-called dreaded covid19 and save all that international aid money for your pockets.. worst case the roads will be filled with rotting dead covid19 zombies and best case scenario; de-population of the poor will help our economy.. WIN-WIN

I think Nigerians should stop been myopic in their thinking, we know these institutions are far behind on their curriculum but we should look at the bigger picture. How many tertiary institutions can fully comply with NCDC guidelines? hostels in those institutions with population how can they maintain social distancing? hence it is important institutions remain closed until COVID-19 is dealt with
