The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, says it will block federal roads nationwide to protest the four-week warning strike embarked on by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.
The National President of NANS, Mr Sunday Asefon, disclosed this in a Press Release in Abuja on Monday,
He said the decision to block major federal roads was agreed upon at the association congress held in Sokoto recently.
According to Asefon, congress resolved to mobilise students to block major federal roads across the 36 states and FCT on February 28, if ASUU and the government failed to reach a compromise.
Asefon said that the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, would be blocked by the national secretariat in collaboration with the FCT axis of NANS.
He, therefore, declared February 28 as a National Action Day against ASUU Incessant Strike Action tagged: #ENDASUUSTRIKEPERMANENTLYNOW.
Asefon regretted that many students lost job opportunities arising from age factors, while many became exposed to risks and crimes following the avoidable idleness mode the strike action imposed on students.
