Leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) says Nigerian youths have been unfair to them judging by their massive bribery accusations and vitriolic remarks made against its members who had visited President Muhammadu Buhari recently.
President of the highest Nigeria's student body, Comrade Danielson Bamidele, said the body had honoured the call of the highest office in the country to hear the grievances of the representatives of the Nigerian students due to its planned nationwide protest against the ASUU strike which started Sunday, Novermber 4, 2018.
Bamidele said NANS had December 30 issued a circular to stage a nationwide protest Monday, January 7, against the uncompromising disposition of both ASUU and the FG who had since held multiple negotiations which ended in deadlock and was obliged to answer the President's call as a form of stakeholder engagement.
"At the end of our tenure, students will not assess our achievement by the number of protests we held. But the gains recorded by principled engagement relevant stakeholders," said Bamidele.
Further, he said the visit afforded his executives to bare their minds to the President emphasizing that the student constituency is too important to be ignored hence called for investment in education sector, justice for student leaders unjustly victimized and rusticated by varsity managments, barring of university management's inteference in student government matters, holistic probe into financial mismanagement by varsity administrators and robust road network on university campuses.
Bamidele explained that the leadership only presented a birthday greeting card to the President and dispeled remours that NANS' leaders were bribed to stage a protest against the striking university lecturers.
