The National Association of Nigerian Students on Friday called on students to protest the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU).
The association ordered them to shutdown the streets of Abuja by coming with personal belongings.
This was contained in a letter by NANS President, Sunday Asefon, to zonal coordinators of the union.
The letter dated March 25, 2022, was sighted by IkejaBird.
The letter was entitled: “Urgent Notice Of Immediate Commencement Of Mobilisation”.
It partly reads: “Sequel to our ultimatum issued to Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities to find lasting solution to their face-off for our university to reopen on or before 28th March 2022.
“With no hope in sight for resumption of academic activities on our campuses, you are by this notice directed to commence immediately, mass mobilisation of students to resume their academic activities on the newly created University of Street, Abuja.
“Students are enjoined to come along with their cooking utensils, mattresses, mosquito-treated net and other needed logistics to make the stay conducive as the protest may last longer than expected until campuses are reopened.
“The Coordinator of NANS Zone C, Abah Owoicho has been appointed as Registrar of the New University of Abuja Street and coordinator of the mass occupational protest.”
END.
