The National Association of Nigerian Students,(NANS) has said it would distrupt operations at the local and international airports across the country beginning from Monday, September 19 as a result of the lingering strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The Union said its decision to ground airports activities was due to the progress recorded in its road protest during which several highways were blocked.
The leadership of NANS, spoke in Akure, the Ondo State capital on Saturday and said the grounding of airports was to make the rich share in the pains of the students occassioned by the prolonged strike action.
Chairman, NANS National Task Force on ‘End ASUU Strike Now,’ Comrade Ojo Raymond Olumide, said students were tired of pleading with both parties to end the strike.
Olumide cautioned ASUU not to call off the strike after any increment in their salary but to insist on other demands that led to the strike action.
According to him: “We shall begin another round of protest next week by storming the airspaces on Monday, 19th September 2022 to #OccupyTheAirports. We want to let the world know about the pains and anguish students are going through.
He appealed to the Government to reverse the no work,no pay policy and what the association is demanding is for campus to be opened
Speaking further, he said we shall be mobilizing the students to shut down the country adding that No Education,No movement.
