The Nation Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) have
commenced a nationwide protest tagged Operation Test Run over the lingering
strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.
Recall that lecturers who shut down public universities on
February 14 over the inability of the Federal Government to meet their demands,
extended the industrial action by another 12 weeks beginning from Monday.
Angered by the development, NANS vowed to stop all political
activities in the country via a nationwide protest pending when ASUU and the
Federal Government resolve their differences.
NANS South West coordinator, Tegbe Stephen saidon Wednesday that the National President of the association, Sunday Ashefon,
has given the order, saying students in the region have no choice but to shut
down activities.
Stephen advised “unscrupulous elements and paid agents of
government at all levels to stay away and clear of our actions as we register
our anger”.
According to the Coordinator, the consequences of the mass
action which commenced on Tuesday would “be severe”.
He said, “The action is tagged Operation Test Run, we in the
Southwest will ensure total compliance to the directive of NANS President.
“We will occupy all federal roads in the Southwest and
frustrate any significant activities that are political.
“I support the NANS President, I will be leading the South
West zone from the front as we shut down economy”.
