<b><span lang="EN-GB">The
 Association of Northern Youths for the Advancement of Peace Harmony 
& Development, ANYPAD, has called on President Goodluck Jonathan to 
resolve the lingering crisis between Academic Staff Union of 
Universities, ASUU, and the Ministry of Education or face protest by 
youth from the region.</span></b><br />
<b><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></b> <br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">A
 statement by the association’s national president, Melvin Ejeh, on 
Friday said Nigerian university lecturers deserved better treatment from
 the federal government.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">“Our
 lecturers and the entire university community deserve a better 
condition of service if we must grow as a nation. We therefore call on 
President Goodluck Jonathan to sack the two ministers forthwith and 
employ all means within his disposal and resolve this once and for all,”
 the statement said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The
 statement faulted the Minister of Education on her inability to resolve
 ASUU issues amicably and asked that she resign to make way for a more 
competent person.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">“We
 ask the Minister of Education, Rukayat Rufai and Minister of Labour and
 Productivity, Emeka Wogu to resign their appointments forthwith or face
 mass street protest from the youths,” the statement said, adding, “This
 is a complete show of incompetence and lack of respect for the future 
of Nigeria students.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The
 group noted that most of the people creating “artificial problems” in 
the educational sub-sector, in their time, passed through the education 
system with ease.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">“We
 are aware that most of these selfish public officers today enjoyed free
 education and even got automatic employments. We wonder why they remain
 adamant to ASUU and students plights since 2009. Our parents are always
 running form pillars to poles to pay schools fees in spite of the 
economic hardship in the country while some persons are sitting in the 
comfort of their office inflicting more pains on parents, guardian and 
students,” they said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Meanwhile,
 the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has appealed to 
the Federal Government and ASUU to resolve their differences as soon as 
possible to allow the return of academic activities to Nigerian 
Universities.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The
 NANS Vice President, National Affairs, Ahamed Jibril, on Thursday made 
the appeal in a press release to journalists, revealing that the strike 
has crumbled academic activities in the Universities.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">“We,
 the leadership of NANS, are calling on the Federal Government 
particularly the Minister of Education, NUC (Nigerian University 
Council), ASUU and all parties involved in the ASUU issues to kindly 
tackle the issues that have warranted the ongoing ASUU strike as we the 
students are at the receiving end,” he said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">According
 to the student body, continuous strike by lecturers in Nigeria has 
severally disrupted the academic calendar thereby delaying the 
graduation of students from various institutions and preventing the 
Nigerian student from contributing effectively to the economy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The
 university lecturers commenced an indefinite strike action on Monday 
based on the Federal Government’s failure to implement some of the 
issues contained in a 2009 agreement with the association. The union 
also accused the government of reneging on a Memorandum of</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Understanding [MoU] jointly agreed on in December 2011.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">On
 the constant fracas on campuses that lead to the death of students, 
NANS called on its senators (all SUG presidents) to dialogue and apply 
other peaceful measures to curb the increasing rate of crisis on 
campuses.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">“Demonstrations
 are not always the best option of addressing student issues; it is to 
the best of interest of the students to employ peaceful negotiations 
because it’s our campuses and academic works that are always hampered 
each time such incidents occur,” the NANS president said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The
 student union leader also appealed to the management of Nigerian 
institutions to be more diplomatic in dealing with student issues.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<span style="text-align: justify;">The
 association also commended the Federal government for the merger of 
EFCC and ICPC, and urged the merging bodies to work effectively to 
reduce corruption in the country, especially within the education 
sector.
