The new President of the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS Mr. Sunday Asefon, has vowed to shut down all private universities in the country should the nine-month strike embarked upon by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities continue.
Mr. Asefon who stated this during an interview in Abuja lamented that the ongoing strike is the longest industrial action embarked on by the university teachers.
According to him, National Association of Nigerian Students will engage the Federal Government representatives and National Association of Nigerian Students leaders to find a lasting solution to resolve the stalemate in negotiations between the two arms.
The President of the National Association of Nigerian Students said after consultation with the two parties and should the strike not be called off as soon as possible, National Association of Nigerian Students will move in and shut down all tertiary institutions in the country.
