The National Association of Nigerian Students NANS, has threatened to embark on a showdown with the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, if their demands are not met before the end of this month.

ASUU

National President, Asefon Sunday of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) released a statement about Wednesday’s meeting.

The meeting expressed disappointment in the Federal Government and ASUU for their lack of empathy for the plight of Nigerian students who suffer from this unnecessary show of strength.

In a statement released by the National Association of Nigerian Students, the organisation called for the immediate intervention of traditional and religious institutions to prevail on the federal government and ASUU to reopen our universities while they continue their negotiations. The group believes that every sector of nation will be negatively affected if this strike is not called off.

The NANS president call on the following NANS leaders who currently occupy political positions across the country to intervene and work with Federal Government and ASUU to end the strike.

NANS also urge the Federal Government and ASUU to reach a compromise by Monday 28th March 2022, or risk the nation’s anger. If a compromise is not reached before then, we hope that influential past leaders will lobby their friends in government and that the National Assembly will pass legislation making our public institutions work. Since they rejected the bill prohibiting public officers from sending their wards abroad, they have a responsibility to make our schools work. However, if they fail to do so, the public will respond appropriately.

Should the strike continue after our ultimatum, students across the country will resume to the new University created by the Federal Government and ASUU called The University of the Street, with Main Campus on the Airport Road, Annex Campuses in all the Major Roads in Abuja and Distance Learning Centres in all the Federal Roads across the 36 State of the Federation. I therefore direct students to bring their mattresses and cooking utensils while resuming in their new campus in Abuja and all the designated campuses across the country.

There won’t be any going back.

No electricity in my area for the past three months because the transformer packed up and no replacement yet. Worrying about the state of electricity in Nigeria is another headache.
Buhari isn’t bothered because he’s in London and his wife is in Dubai.

Shameful

India got highest number of students which was eighteen thousand students in ukraine.
Even that money is also too much to evacuate that number of students.

The truth is there's no God anywhere they are just deceiving themselves,, I regret being religious but now I grew out of it,, I was ones a Muslim, my dad is a imam and he forces me to memorize the whole Quran through severe beaten and torture. I wish world leaders could come together and cast out religion out of this planet because religion is a form of child Abuse,,,, religion has done more harm than good to the universe. Religion is one of the reasons why Africa is still backwards till today because we rely too much on God that has no evidence that substantiate it existence

Pardon my grammatical blunders

I'm not eager to give him kudos.

The honest truth is that if he had removed subsides on petrol completely, the problem would have been solved a long time ago, and we would have had an extra, at least an extra 6-8 trillion naira in money for budgetary spending between 2015-date.

Instead, we have a subsidy monster that needs lots of money and is not satisfied. Last year, we spent 2 trillion naira on subsidy, one trillion more than the previous year, and this year, we are set to spend 3 trillion naira more on subsidies..and the amount may grow before the year runs out due to rising oil prices.

The thing is, at the end of the day, the only way to end scarcity is by removing price controls on petrol, and ending subsidy payments so that the petroleum sector would be incentivized to build refineries at home.Meaning we won't be importing fuel again...and running the risk of importing substandard fuel

Also, profits made would be enough to build and maintain, and upgrade refinereies at home of a better standard than the substandard ones where we refine fuel in Europe....fuel so dirty that it is among the worst in the world.

Niger Republic, our northern neighbor, has had no subsidy for ages. Fuel sells for N350 per liter. They make a profit, and can export fuel to 3 countries from their single refinery.
