The National Association of Nigerian Students(NANS),has urged the controversial Islamic cleric Sheilh Ahmed Gunmi to prevail on the dreaded bandits to stay away the Nigerian schools .
The students body has also announced the peaceful resolution of the factional crisis rocking the Association.
The NANS national President, Conrade Sunday Asefon and the factional leader Abdul majid Oyeniyi,who announced the truce at a joint Press Conference in Ado-Ekiti disclosed that the peace meeting was at the instance of the Special Adviser to Governor Kayode Fayemi on Federal Matters,Makinde Araoye.
Asefon said that; ” I had met with different stakeholders. I had been to Kaduna and several states in the Northwest and North central to plead that they should provide security. Though, the security formations were trying their best, but their best has failed us . They need to be more proactive. We want our youths to have access to education. Most of the schools are under lock and key as we speak. What is future of this country?
“We met with Sheikh Ahmed Gumi to help us appeal to them to stay away from public schools that are populated by the children of the poor. They should just leave our students alone and let them pursue their future”.he added .The government should beef up security in schools. It is our belief that students should be going to schools with the assurance that they will be secured.
“I have called the federal government that they should declare these bandits abducting students in the Northwest and North Central as terrorists, but the reverse has been the case.
“Let me bring to your notice that we have resolved our factional crisis and it was at the instance of Mr. Makinde Araoye who called us and appealed that we should think of the larger interest, which are the students. With this, we have proved to the nation and colleagues that truly that the youth of today have what it takes to lead themselves. After we suspended the June 12 proposed protest, a faction of NANS sprang up and we thought there need for us to reunite ourselves, so that we can make progress.
