National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has given the Federal Government a week to end the six months old Academic Staff Union of Universities strike, otherwise students would be forced to occupy the Ministry of Education office in Abuja.
NANS factional president Umar Faruk issued the threat on Thursday in Abuja saying Nigerians students have suffered long enough.
“Academic Staff Union (ASUU) has been on strike for almost eight months, the academic calendar cannot be used as a parameter for years of studies anymore, as students keep suffering from the long-term effect of the strike.
The Nigerian students’ patience has been stretched beyond its elastic limit and they have resolved to liberate themselves from the recurring effect of the industrial action by ASUU”.
“Federal Government through the Ministry of Education should within a few working days resolve the lingering ASUU strike. As we shall mobilize our students towards occupying the Ministry of Education until our demands are met,” he said.
