The communique was signed by the executive members of the communique drafting committee, Kayode Adebayo, Muhammed Saba, also urged federal and state governments to do more on funding of security agencies so as to tackle security situations currently halting activities in the North-Central and the nation at large.
“The Congress affirmed its commitment, dedication to the struggle of NANS against all forms of oppression against students on our campuses and called on the Federal Government to immediately honour the agreement with ASUU and pay the lecturers appropriately and in due course to avoid other actions that will be taken by ASUU that will put academic activities in a quagmire,” according to the communique.
