NANS issues 7-day ultimatum to govt, ASUU to end strike

The students’ body noted that the education sector had enjoyed two uninterrupted academic years under President Bola Tinubu’s administration, a feat not recorded since the return to democracy in 1999.

According to Oladoja, the recent threat of industrial action by ASUU is jeopardizing the progress made so far. He emphasized that Nigerian students, many of whom are now studying through educational loans, cannot afford to have their academic calendar disrupted or their duration on campus extended again.

“It is, therefore, in this spirit that NANS appeals to both ASUU and the Federal Government’s negotiation team to find a workable and lasting solution within the next seven (7) days.

“Nigerian students, many of whom are now studying through educational loans, cannot afford to have their academic calendar disrupted or their duration on campus extended again,” he warned.

NANS urged both parties to prioritize the interests of students and the nation, rather than their individual interests. The students’ body emphasized that a stable academic calendar is crucial for the nation’s development and progress.

The ultimatum has sparked hopes that the dispute would be resolved amicably, and academic activities would continue without further disruptions.
