PRESS REALEASE BY NANS CHAIRMAN OGUN STATE - FALOLA AHMED STAINLESSY


BEING THE PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIAN STUDENTS (NANS OGUN JCC) ON MONDAY 10/022014 @ EXACTLY 400PM

Combatant greeting to all Nigerian students of Ogun State, we also bring forth warm greeting from ALUTA barrack to the governor of Ogun State Senator Ibikunle Amosun (FCA), National president of NANS, Com. Yinka Gbadebo, zonal d coordinator of NANS and all elderly state-men.
STATE OF UNIONISM IN OGUN STATE CAMPUSES
Greatest Nigerian Students, it calls for a sober reflection when the rights and privilege of Nigeria students is being hijacked by the oppressor, we remain curious on the rationale behind banning/ scraping student union government on our campuses in Ogun State, at first we frowned on electoral rigging which was supported by management of some institution to erect their anointing sons in power.
Gradually we have started seeing changes but unequivocal speaking the effort of commissioner of education Barrister Segun Odubela in successfully destabilization of our heritage and the only serving platform that agitates for the oppressed Nigerian students can’t be overlooked or understated.
The list of tertiary institution in Ogun State undergoing undemocratic students uncommon is as follows;
S.U.G Abraham Adesanya Polytechnic replaced with caretaker committee even after there newly elected executives on ground, they were not sworn in till date.
Ogun State Institue of Technology Igbesa Student Union undergoing caretaker committee spearheaded by OGITECH ALUMNI
Gateway polytechnic SAAPADE student union replaced with caretaker
Tai Solarin College of Education Omu-Ijebu S.U.G scrapped since June 2013
Presently from reliable source, petition from S.U.G aspirants we have received confirmation that Olabisi Onabanjo University S.U.G is on the verge of scrapping! Again!
Brothers and sisters, don’t fold your arms, join us in this advocacy, where are we paddling the canoe of Democracy and independence of students Unionism in Ogun State to?,
We can’t take it any longer, Our students are complaining bitterly, our right are not secured any longer, lecturers are exhorting money from us through handout on daily basis, our female students are being harassed sexually.
The question is who will fight for us?
Is it caretaker committee members who are siblings of Bar. Segun Odubela and Hon. Tola Banjo respectively?, another name for caretaker committee is toothless bulldogs or cooperate messengers.
He who keep mute in the face of tyranny is either a traitor or a coward
The only legitimate and severing S.U.G’s in Ogun State are that of TASUED, FPI, FUNAAB, MAPOLY, OSSCA, IJEJA, FCE OSIELE, OGSCOTECH ILESE, DS ADEGBENRO ICT POLY ITORI.
OUR DEMANDS
Within an ultimatum of 2 weeks we want a free and fair election on all campuses where caretaker Committee has being mandated on the oppressed Nigerian Students.
We want external bodies like human right groups to be observers of the of the proposed election
We say capital No to dis-qualification of popular aspirants at S.U.G polls without tangible reason.
We say a capital No to electoral malpractices such as rigging & all forms of result manipulation.
If the above conditions are not met, sooner or later we will occupy State.

Thanks in anticipation.

Yours in struggle
