The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has urged the federal government to meet the demands of the various striking unions in tertiary institutions across the country.
The call was made during a peaceful rally by NANS in Minna on Monday tagged ‘Save Education Rally’.
The NANS Zone A Coordinator, Umar Faruk Lawal who spoke during the rally said there is the need for the immediate intervention of the federal government towards returning students back to their lecture rooms.
He decried the incessant strikes in the education sector stressing that the students are not happy with the way the federal government has been handling the education sector with levity.
“We are not happy with the federal government, all our institutions are shut down, we are not happy with the way things are going in the education system. Nigeria students should be called back to the classrooms.
“We are not happy that all our institutions are shut down by ASUU, COEASU and NASU. Federal government should look into the sector and do something about it. The students are not happy sitting down at home. “
The protest which started from Tunga ended at the city gate and had students bearing various placards reading, “FG should meet up their agreement with COEASU”, “Nigerian students are tired of unstable education”, “Save education save the future”, “stop mortgaging our future”, “Education is the future we have”, “No nation can survive without good education”.
