The new President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Sunday Asefon, said the students’ body has resolved to shut down all private universities and other tertiary institutions in the country should the nine-month strike embarked on by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities continue.
The NANS president disclosed this while speaking on a PUNCH Online interview programme, The Roundtable, monitored by NewsmakersNG, today.
He lamented that the ongoing strike is the longest industrial action embarked on by the university lecturers.
According to him, NANS would engage the Federal Government representatives and ASUU leaders to find a lasting solution to resolve the stalemate in negotiations between the two arms.
The NANS president said after consultation with the two parties and should the strike not be called off as soon as possible, NANS would move in and shut down all tertiary institutions in the country.
