    ASUU: NANS Commends Sanwo-Olu for Keeping LASU, Others Running

    The leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has commended the Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu for his efforts in ensuring students remain in school despite the ongoing Academic Staff Union of Universities strike action.

    The southwest coordinator for NANs, Tegbe Stephen, while speaking to journalists on Monday, April 25, said the Lagos state governor since the inception of the strike action has ensured that state-owned institutions are in full operation.

    We recalls that the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU embarked on strike a few months ago over the inability of the Federal Government to fulfil agreements the two parties entered into years ago.

    While most public university students are still at home, the Lagos State University, LASU had been in session following the efforts of the state governor.

    According to the NANS coordinator, “we charge other State Governors to emulate Mr Babajide Sanwo Olu in his bid to make education a right and not a privilege for the students.

    “With what Mr Sanwo-Olu has done, undoubtedly, we shall remain indebted forever. However, Southwest Students admonish Federal Government and ASUU to come back to the negotiation table and proffer an everlasting solution as students are tired of this age-long industrial action.

    “At the end of everything, Lecturers get paid and political leaders receive their pay! What’s now the gain of the students? It’s so disheartening that we are always at the receiving end”.
