ASUU Strike: Don’t disrupt political activities, Lawan appeals to students

Senate President Ahmad Lawan, has appealed to students not to disrupt political activities.

Lawan made this appeal to the NANS President, Sunday Ashefon, alongside other officials of the union who were led to his office by a Methodist Bishop, Dr. Sunday Onuoha.

Students had begun to stage protests in different parts of the country threatening to stall all political activities until the Federal Government came to a resolution with the Academic Staff Union of Universities.

Reacting to this, the Senate President in a statement appealed to students to continue on the path of consultation and avoid confrontation. He said the senate will look for possible ways to end the strike.

He said, “I want to advise, I don’t think it will be necessary to disrupt political activities. We shouldn’t do that and we don’t need to do that.

“What we need to do is to continue to follow the path of consultation, consolidation and avoid confrontation. It is when you emphasise consultation, that it’s much easier for us to find something that you can consolidate.”
