Striking EKSU Workers: NANS Threatens Shutting Down Institution.
Warns Governor Fayose
The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS,
South West Zone D, has called on Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State to
attend to the demands of the striking workers of Ekiti State University, EKSU,
Ado Ekiti to enable them return to work.
In a statement, in Ado Ekiti yesterday, the students
threatened a complete shut down of the state capital should the governor fail
to do the needful.
In the statement by NANS Zone D Coordinator, Lukman
Adebisi Adekitan and Treasurer, Ayodeji Ilesanmi Amoran, NANS lamented that the
current disruption in the academic calendar of the institution “will
automatically become impossible for them to participate in the NYSC
mobilisation process.”
The students also demanded reduction in school fees
in the state-owned tertiary institutions, namely EKSU, College of Education,
Ikere Ekiti and College of Health Technology, Ijero-Ekiti and called for
outright stoppage of “acceptance fees” in the institutions.
NANS said: “An acceptance fee is a fraud. We are
against N50,000 and N100,000 acceptance fees in EKSU; N50,000 in College of
Health Technology, Ijero and N35,000 in College of Education, Ikere-Ekiti.
“Acceptance fee is against the masses. We also
demand immediate resumption of academic activities in our striking institutions
in Ekiti State.”
NANS vowed not to accept the “nonchalant attitude
shown by the state government to the sector particularly the tertiary
institutions in the state.”
