Nigerian students vow to block major federal roads if ASUU goes on strike

The National President of NANS, Sunday Asefon, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists in Abuja on Monday.

Mr Asefon said the decision to block roads was agreed upon at the association congress held in Sokoto recently.

He said the congress resolved to mobilse students across the 36 states and FCT on February 28, if ASUU and the government failed to reach a compromise.

“Following the resolution of our congress held on February 19, 2022, in Sokoto State University among, other matters discussed and considered, it was resolved we act decisively.

“I am pleased to direct an immediate commencement of planning and mass mobilisation of Nigerian students and comrades across the 36 states of the federation and FCT in line with congress decision.

“The line of actions is as follows: blockage of all major federal roads in all the 36 states of the federation.

“This will be led and coordinated by NANS Joint Campus Committee (JCC) and Zonal Executives including National officials of NANS in the states,’’ he said.

Mr Asefon said that the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) would be blocked by the National Secretariat in collaboration with FCT axis of NANS.

He, therefore, declared February 28, as a National Action Day against ASUU Incessant Strike Action tagged: #ENDASUUSTRIKEPERMANENTLYNOW.

“This becomes sacrosanct once ASUU and Federal Government fail to reach a compromise and get our campuses reopened on or before Feb. 28.
