Reports say the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to sack his cabinet members.
NANS advised Buhari:
“rejig and reposition his cabinet for
effectiveness and efficiency by bringing on board, cerebral, competent,
vibrant, contemporary and dynamic young people to herald and stimulate a
whole new level of impetus and vibrancy in the administration of the
ailing economy”.NANS president, Comrade Chinonso Obasi, said this in a statement
welcoming the nation’s leader from his prolonged medical vacation.“It is with a deep sense of patriotism joins all patriotic and
well-meaning Nigerians to rejoice with President Muhammadu Buhari and
thank God for his returns safe return from the United Kingdom,” he
noted.“Nigerian Students stood with the President throughout the difficult
times and would continue to be with him in prayers for the sustenance of
his health and pray for more wisdom, knowledge, understanding and
energy to enable the him provide the necessary leadership to move the
nation forward.“Ahead of the Mr. President’s broadcast on Monday, NANS calls on him
to consider the current issue of urgent national importance and speak to
the prevailing indefinite strike declared by ASUU to ensure that
Nigerian Students returns to school at the earliest convenience”.
The students’ body drew the attention of Buhari to the fact that the
critical challenge of the Nigerian Universities and Nigerian Students is
obviously and regrettably missing in the recently launched Economic
Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP).
He stated that going forward, the Nigerian students and youth should
be deliberately included in decisions making process on issues that
concern them to enable them actively participate and contribute to the
development efforts of the nation.
