ASUU Strike Update 

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
31st December. 2018

IMPORTANT NOTICE
NOTICE TO ALL NANS STRUCTURES AND ORGANS TO COMMENCE MOBILIZATION FOR MASS ACTION AGAINST THE FG. ASUU AND ASUP 

You may recall that we. the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) issued a two week ultimatum to FG. ASUP and ASUU to reopen our Insututions or face mass action by angry Nrgenan students on the 23rd December. 2018. A week after the ultimatum was issued. none of the parties have made appreciable steps In resolving the crises.
May I inform the general public that the impasse between FG and ASUU is being prolonged by ASUU who staged a workout from negotiations on Issues Bothering non payment 0f some academic staff salaries shortfall, non release of operational licence for NUPEMCO and non payment of earned academic allowances. which FG has on its part fulfilled two out at these demands. The minor disagreement over figures in salaries shortfall which the FG claimed to be fifteen billion naira as against ASUU's twenty five billion nalra.
None of the issues Mentioned above dtrectly improves the lot of Nigerian students or infrastructure and basic amenities on our campuses. Again, the question, why are Nigerian students made to suffer for the interests of ASUU or ASUP which does not improve lots of Nigerian students arises.
We are again bewildered by ASUU‘s blackmail and attempts to cause disaffection among our members claiming to be fighting for our interest Can you barb the hair of a man behind him? .
0n this note, i wish to put all of our structures which are the Students Union Governments, Joint Campus Committees, Zonal structures, NANS Senate, NANS National Executives and our Organs that Include NAUS,  NAPS,  NANCES. LAWSAN, etc on hence to begun meetings and mobilization  immediately ahead of the mass action commencing on 7th January. 2018.  

Yours In struggle,
Comr. Danielson Bamidele Akpan, GCNS President
