STUDENT GROUP KICKS AGAINST FG’S RESUMPTION ORDER

The student group, the Fund Education Coalition, has kicked against the order by the Federal Government, through the National Universities Commission, asking vice-chancellors to reopen universities amid the lingering strike action by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities.

In a statement, signed  today by its Coordinator, and Assistant Public Relations Officer, Damilare Adenola and Babatimehin Asiwaju, respectively, the students noted that ASUU was on a legitimate cause to save public education, stating further that the FG should, instead, meet the demands of the striking lecturers.

 you will recall in a letter obtained today, the Federal Government directed the pro-chancellors and chairmen of governing councils of federal universities to “ensure that ASUU members immediately resume and commence lectures; restore the daily activities and routines of the various university campuses.”
