Students Cry Out: NANS Pleads With ASUU To Halt Fresh Academic Shutdown
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has urged the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to reconsider its recent nationwide strike directive over the delayed payment of June 2025 salaries to lecturers.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to ”NIVONEWS”, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has warned that any strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at this time could jeopardize the academic stability universities have enjoyed over the past two years.
In a statement issued on Tuesday in Abeokuta, Ogun State, and signed by Akinbodunse Sileola Felicia, NANS National Vice President for Inter-Campus and Gender Affairs, the student body urged ASUU to suspend the strike and instead pursue peaceful dialogue with the Federal Government to resolve the salary delay issue.
ASUU had on Monday directed its branches nationwide to withdraw their services, citing the non-payment of June 2025 salaries in line with the union’s “No Pay, No Work” policy. Branches at the University of Jos and the University of Abuja have already commenced industrial action in compliance with the directive.
ASUU President, Professor Chris Piwuna, confirmed the development, stating that the strike followed a resolution of the union’s National Executive Council mandating members to halt services if salaries are delayed beyond three days.
However, Akinbodunse, speaking through NIVONEWS, stressed that Nigerian students are always the worst hit during such disruptions. She emphasized that ASUU’s grievance should be addressed through constructive engagement, not campus shutdowns.
She acknowledged that since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed office, public universities have largely enjoyed uninterrupted academic sessions, and warned against reversing the gains achieved under the current administration.
Akinbodunse also highlighted the prevailing economic hardship faced by many Nigerian families, adding that another strike would impose further emotional and financial burdens on students and parents alike.
She further appealed to the Federal Government to swiftly resolve the salary payment issue and put in place long-term solutions to forestall future disruptions and safeguard the relative peace restored in Nigeria’s university system.

In a Facebook post on Saturday, Fani-Kayode criticised a recent ADC convention linked to the David Mark-led faction, describing it as poorly organised and lacking credibility.
He claimed the event reflected internal confusion, poor coordination, and discomfort among attendees, alleging issues such as overcrowding and inadequate facilities.
Fani-Kayode also mocked incidents he said occurred at the gathering, including moments of disorder and verbal slips by some participants, which he used to question the party’s seriousness.
He further ridiculed the appearance and conduct of some attendees, portraying the event as chaotic and directionless.
According to him, the gathering showed that the party lacked unity and political strength.
He concluded that if such conditions represent the opposition’s best effort, then President Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 is already certain.
