NATIONAL ASUU Worthy of note, is to recall the strike that engulfed Nigerian universities between 2008 and 2009, when students were out of school due to a Government and ASUU disagreement. Issues that were brought to bare included issues of IPPS, revitalization of Nigerian universities, salary structure amongst other demands. Looking forward, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was reached between Government and ASUU by September of 2009 which brought about resolution of the then ongoing strike, prior to this agreement Government has blatantly refused to implement at least 20% of this agreement which prompted another call by the lectures in 2020 to present another document of agreement termed “Memorandum of Action” (MOA) with very articulate demands. Going forward, the University lectures have again embarked on another Strike action which they say is a one month warning strike by which if government does not respond favourably it will metamorphose into another indefinite st...

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Press.   1.​  As you are aware, yesterday, Friday 25th February 2022, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria signed the Electoral Bill 2022 into law. This is historic being the fourth time since the restoration of democracy in Nigeria in May 1999 that the Electoral Act was repealed and re-enacted. The 1998 - 1999 elections were administered by transitional decrees until the 2001 Electoral Act was passed into law. Then, the Act was repealed and re-enacted as the Electoral Act 2002 which was in turn repealed and re-enacted in 2006, 2010 and now we have the 2022 Electoral Act.   2.​  You may recall that in 2017, the Commission decided to establish fixed dates for General Elections in Nigeria. This decision was based on our determination to create certainty in the electoral calendar and to enable all stakeholders in the electoral process (the electoral commission, political parties and candidates, security agencies, obser...

The NANS  National President Comrade  Sunday Asefon in a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari released by the Director of Student Matters Diaspora Comrade Abiodun Olofe noted that the cities occupied by Nigerians were under siege. “We condemn in totality the statement credited to the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskiy that anybody within the age of 18 and 60 should not be seen outside and the adequate prote...
