Governor Sule won’t sleep until ASUU strike is resolved–SSG

The Nasarawa State Government has assured Nasarawa State University students that Governor Abdullahi Sule is working tirelessly to resolve the ongoing Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike and restore normal academic activities. SSG Dr Labaran Magaji received a delegation from the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) on Wednesday and expressed the governor's concern about the situation.

Magaji stated that the governor is not sleeping over the issue and is intensifying efforts to resolve the disagreement with striking lecturers, allowing students to return to class.

The strike has caused significant disruption to academic activities at the state-owned university, leaving students unable to continue their studies as scheduled. The SSG urged students to remain patient while the government works towards resolving the disagreement with the striking lecturers. Magaji also addressed the importance of contentment and strong personal values, criticising declining spirits of comradeship among young people.

He cautioned against abandoning principles for personal benefits and emphasised the need for commitment, sacrifice, and consistency in activism.

NANS National Treasurer Comrade Asmawu Omeze led the delegation and informed that the students' body was in Nasarawa during a campus tour to assess the welfare and conditions of students. The delegation was not protesting but engaging with stakeholders and evaluating the impact of government policies on students.
