STUDENTS IN LAGOS STATE VOW TO SHUTDOWN UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS(UNILAG)AND YABA COLLEGE OF EDUCATION(YABATECH) OVER THE VICTIMIZATION OF COLLEAGUES.

The students in Lagos State under the aegis of National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS)have strongly vowed to storm the University of Lagos and YABATECH over the unwanted suspension of colleagues and proscription of students' union of the afore-mentioned institutions.
It was reliably gathered that some executive members of the students' union of UNILAG and YABATECH were suspended immediately the union was banned after staging a peaceful protest as regards the better welfare of their members(students)which include the following:
*Scarcity of Water on Campus
*Power Failure
*Poor Hostel Facilities among others.
Astonishinly,the management did not only fail in responding to their demands,but also went further to boldly commit another atrocity by sanctioning a student for his sagacity to have gone on the social media to express the plights of the students by victimizing him with suspension which is contrary to the freedom of information act of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
In the same vein,the management of Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) has also victimized students and banned them from freedom of association which is an abberation to the constitution of our fatherland.
This,however,prompted the entire students in Lagos to take a couragious decision in fighting for their colleagues as an injury to ONE is an injury to ALL. This was contained in a communique issued by the newly elected chairman of the National Association of Nigerian Students,Lagos axis,Comrade Samson Adewale Moses immediately after the election that saw him emerge as the new Chairman pulling six(6) votes out of ten (10)votes at the institute of fisheries and marine studies,Oceanography,Victoria Island.
The other executives elected are highlighted below:
Comrade Adeyanmi Abraham from LASCOETH as the Vice Chairman.
Comrade Owolabi Oluwaseyi Babatunde from UNILAG as the General Secretary.
Comrade Busari Abdulqawiyy from FCE Akoka as the Public Relations Officer.
The Chairman however tagged his regime as the one for positive change,adding that aside consolidating the effort of the executive Governor of Lagos State,Mr Akinwunmi Ambode towards uplifting of schools across the state ,he will ensure that all necessary steps to success will be taken without betraying the trust and interest of the students.
Signed,
Comrade Azeez Sholagbade
Chief Press Secretary,
NANS,Lagos axis.
