It's 2months today and Nigerian students are tired of sitting at home!As a result of the two month old strike, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), on Wednesday, issued a one-week ultimatum to the Federal Government and the union’s leadership to resolve their differences or face serious consequences - otherwise they'l embark on a nation-wide riot described as ‘operation occupy Nigeria’.NANS coordinator in the South-South and South-East, Comrade Chinonso Obasi, said“We are appealing to ASUU that since the Federal Government has been able to release N100 billion for infrastructural development and N30billion for allowance, they should go back to classroom and continue their negotiation or agitation. This is our prayer and wish."Obasi said students have become prone to accidents on the highways and the female students have been reduced to sex hawkers on the streets.“I stand to tell you that a lot of accidents have been recorded and 99.9% of the victims are Nigerian students. If they were in classrooms,they would not have fallen victims of road crashes.“Our female students have become commercial sex hawkers on the streets in order to make ends meet. This colossal effect is more than what ASUU is agitating for. Hence, we can no longer fold our arms and watch things go wrong.”
