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”.
