The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, in a piece of recent information has appealed to President Buhari to intervene and foster peace between the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
In a conversation with the newsmen, NANS President, Usman Ayuba, lamented that the protracted strikes by the lecturers had affected the academic calendar of public owned universities and had negatively impacted the future of Nigerian Students.
He also called on the President to engage both ASUU and the government with a view to resolving the lingering industrial dispute in the nation’s university system.
Earlier, Chairman Communiqué Drafting Committee, Ayuba told President Muhammadu Buhari to bring capable hands with experience and capacity to stem the tide of insecurity in the Country.
He further appealed to the Government to proffer workable solutions to address incessant clashes between farmers and herders across the country.
Ayuba also called on the Federal Ministry of Education to give priority attention to the sector in terms of budgetary allocation to meet the UNESCO standard and recommendation of setting aside a 26% annual budget to education by developing Countries.
Finally, Ayuba advised students to obtain their voter cards and elect credible candidates come 2023.
