The students’ union expressed deep concern over the potential disruption to the academic calendar and the negative impact on students’ futures.
In a release issued on Tuesday and made available to newsmen in Abeokuta, NAUS Ogun State Chairman, Akinjetan Hammed Emmanuel, appealed to the Federal Government to prioritize dialogue and compromise to prevent the impending strike.
He emphasized the importance of a peaceful resolution to safeguard the academic progress of students and maintain the integrity of higher education in the state.
In addition to the call for a stakeholders’ meeting, the students’ union also urged the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, to increase subventions for higher institutions in the state.
They commended the Governor for his previous efforts in supporting education, but highlighted the need for further investment to ensure the quality and affordability of tertiary education.
The students also requested the governor to donate one more bus to a Federal University in Ogun State, following his generous donations to two other universities in Ogun State.
They emphasized the critical role of transportation in facilitating students’ access to education and urged the governor to consider the unique needs of the remaining federal institution.
“We believe that by working together, the government, ASUU, and all stakeholders can find a mutually beneficial solution to avert a strike and ensure the continued progress of our education system,” said Akinjetan Hammed Emmanuel.
NAUS Ogun State chapter remains committed to advocating for the rights and welfare of students and will continue to engage with relevant authorities to address the challenges facing higher education in the state.
