The National Association of Nigerian Students, South-West Zone, has said that it is prepared to hold the funeral for public education in Nigeria since President Mohammed Buhari is accused of burying it.
This was released in a statement on Monday that was jointly signed by the NANS Coordinator and Spokesperson, Adegboye Olatunji and Awoyinfa Opeoluwa.
The student body said they would be hitting the streets again in the coming days.
The group said: “It behoves us to call the attention of the general public and the international community on the brazen insult meted on the Nigerian students by the irresponsible administration of Buhari.
“We want Nigerian students to be ready for grand mass action on the ASUU strike. We are clear that this government is anti-public education and this is against the yearnings of millions of students and youths.

“In coming days, we shall be occupying the streets across the South-West region to conduct a final burial rite of public education in the country as this is what the Buhari’s administration represents.”
Weeks ago, students under the aegis of NANS had barricaded the Lagos-Ibadan national Express way restricting movement of cummuters for several hours on different days. Also several flights were rescheduled on a separate day when the NANS took Lagos State’s international airport.
