Strike: NANS to commence mass action against FG, ASUU, ASUP

- The National Association of Nigerian Students has reacted to the lingering strike by University and Polytechnic lecturers

- The students body has has issued a notice to all its organs to commence mobilisation for mass action against the federal government

- The campaign will also affect the Academic Staff Union of Universities, and the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), has issued a notice to all its structures and organs to commence mobilisation for mass action against the federal government, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), and the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP).

This was contained in a statement sent to journalists and signed by the association’s president, Danielson Akpan.

The association had earlier issued an ultimatum of two weeks to FG, ASUU, and ASUP on December 23, to call off the strike or face confrontation.

According to the statement, the association blamed the parties involved of not making appreciable steps in resolving the crises.

Akpan accused the university lecturers of not showing enough commitment to end the strike, saying they staged a walk-out during negotiations with the government despite the latter meeting two out of their three demands.

The three major issues, the NANS leader said, include the non-payment of some academic staff salaries shortfall, non-release of operational license for Nigerian Universities Pension Management Company and non-payment of earned academic allowances.

“The minor disagreement over figures in salaries shortfall which the government claimed to be N15 billion as against ASUU’s N25 billion.

“None of the issues mentioned above directly improves the lot of Nigerian students or infrastructure and basic amenities on our campuses. Again, why are Nigerian students made to suffer for the interests of ASUU or ASUP which doesn’t improve lots of Nigerian students?” he queried.

ASUU on Sunday, November 4, announced it has begun an indefinite strike action following the inability of the federal government to respond to their demands.

ASUP on Wednesday, December 12, announced the commencement of its own strike action over non-implementation of the 2009 and 2017 agreement reached with the union by the federal government.
