with the federal government on the issue of the ongoing indefinite
strike, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) is calling
on the parties to engage in constructive engagement.
NANS convened an emergency meeting in which they urged both bodies to engage "with a human face to resolve the lingering issues" that led to the declaration of the strike to save the education sector.
According

one of factors responsible for the falling standard of education in
Nigeria.

Comrade Chinonso Obasi, the president of NANS said the lack
of agreements or lack of adherence and implementation of duly executed
memorandum of agreements between the FG and ASUU does not reflect and
demonstrate commitment to the sustainable development of the nation's
education sector and the development of the nation's human capital
development.
