The National Union of Nigerian Students, NUNS, has
sided the ongoing ASUU strike, saying that’s the only
action the Federal Government respects.
Speaking with Vanguard yesterday (Sunday), its
Chief Press Secretary, Amb Ibrahim Olawale
Seriki said: “Since our government understands no
diplomacy but radical approach , then let the ASUU
strike press home the repositioning of education in
this country.
“Challenges in education sector visa viz ASUU Strike,
COEASU Strike and implementation of Needs
Assessment report on Polytechnic deserve an
aggressive approach to ensure our Institutions do not
remain under lock.
He, however lamented that ASUU did not carry the
students union along in their struggle to reposition
our Nigerian universities.
” As a major stakeholder in the sector, we are
however not very comfortable that ASUU did not
involve us as students leaders in all these struggle,
“he said.
He said: “We assume that the insincerity of some
students bodies to ASUU and the sector in the past
mighty have caused the lost of confidence in
students structure.”
NUNS, however vowed that the rebirth of NUNS
under the present leadership would surely correct
those misinformation and controversial stand of
student structure in the past.
Reiterating NUNS commitment to the struggle of
ASUU, Seriki explained that ASUU decision at every
time has always been to reposition education in
Nigerian.
He said: “Considering the state of university
education in our dear country, every sane citizen will
definitely fault ASUU if they remain silent or refuse to
act in rescue our education system.
“We remain consumer of every thing because our
education system is weak to produce producers or
inventors of anything except a mere repairer. “At this
stage of our dear nation, we still have some
professions who are not trained in Nigeria and are
force to patronise foreign experts to execute most
jobs in our country.
It is a shame and we must collectively end.
