ASUU strike: NANS talks tough as Nigerian govt says no money to meet lecturers’ demands
In another development, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has said there is no retreat, no surrender in its struggle towards ensuring that lecturers and students return back to the classroom as soon as possible.
This reaction follows the current position of the Nigerian government that there is no money to meet up the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Recall that the minister of labour and employment, Chris Ngige had said that the federal government had no financial capacity to meet some of the demands of the lecturers.
