Describing the ongoing strike action as the longest so far, NANS
said in Katsina that it would mobilise its members to block all
federal highways indefinitely at the end of the ultimatum until the
issue is resolved.

President of NANS, Sunday Asefon, who addressed a press
conference after a visit to the rescued Kankara schoolboys, said
“it is ridiculous that government and ASUU have not found a common
ground yet and this is leaving us with no other alternative than to
do everything within our power to bring an end to this strike.”

The students also demanded the inclusion of students
representatives on the negotiating team so that no one will come
out of the meeting and deny anything.

On the rescued Kankara schoolboys, Asefon said: “I also met with
the kidnapped students to encourage and motivate them to ensure
they get education irrespective of the bully from the cowards who
kidnapped them. In my meeting with Governor of Katsina, I
reiterated the need to secure the schools to ensure we do not have
a repeat of this ugly experience.”
