’We’re disappointed over Okonjo-Iweala’s comments’
National
Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, through a statement made
available and signed by the National P.R.O. Comrade Victor Olaogun, has
passed a vote of no confidence on President Goodluck Jonathan over what
they called his “ineptitude to handle and resolve the ongoing impasse
between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of
Universities, ASUU.”
While berating the lackadaisical attitude of
the Nigerian President towards the development of the youth and his
insensitivity and inattentiveness to the pains and demands of Nigerian
students and university lecturers, the Association called for
instantaneous declaration of state of emergency on Nigeria’s education
sector, saying “we can no longer condone his ineffectiveness, whereupon
we pass a VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE on him.
“Also we pass VOTE OF NO
CONFIDENCE on the Minister for Education, for not having the interest of
Nigerian students at heart. We also condemn the Senior Special
Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Students and Youth Matters,
Comr. Jude Imagwe over his lukewarm attitude to the plights of the
Nigerian students.
“As a former president of NANS, (though
factional) we expect Comr. Jude Imagwe to use his good office to press
for the demands of the students and even protect the interest of
undergraduates who at this time are facing huge challenges as a result
of the lingering strike action embarked on by the Academic Staff Union
of Universities”
However the Association pleaded with ASUU to
return to the classes while deliberation continues or drag FG to court.
“we urge ASUU to drag the Federal Government to court since nobody is
above the law. We call for immediate allocation of Special Intervention
Fund to Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary education in Nigeria. We
remained indifferent on ASUU strike because we thought the two parties
could use pragmatic approaches to settle their rift.
