NANS Taraba Axis, Zone E, NUTASS and SUG TSU Resolves on ASUU Strike: Commends Government's Efforts, Issues Ultimatum and Demands Immediate Action
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Taraba Axis, acknowledges the Taraba State Government's efforts in promoting education and reducing school fees.
We commend the government's commitment to education, but we believe that more needs to be done to address the concerns of ASUU and ensure the reopening of universities.
Specifically, we call on the government to:
1. Establish a pension scheme* for university staff to ensure their welfare and security after retirement.
2. Immediately constitute a governing council to provide effective leadership and management for the institution.
3. Pay the new minimum wage to all university staff, as mandated by law.
4. Henceforth acknowledge and honour the percentages stated in the Taraba State University Establishments Act to ensure that the university receives the necessary funding and support.
We urge the government to take immediate action on these demands latest Monday night. Failure to do so will lead to massive protests by students across the state, as we cannot allow our colleagues to miss their exams.
We believe that education is a fundamental right, and it is the responsibility of the government to ensure that universities are properly funded and managed.
