The students who said they had tired staying idle at home following the ongoing three-month-old industrial actions by their lecturers said they just want to go back to class and continue with their studies. The National Public Relations Officer of the union who is a student of the University of Ibadan, Mr Bestman Okereafor, stated this on Wednesday while reacting to a purported protest of Onnoghen’s suspension by some acclaimed students in Nasarrawa State. According to him, NANS has never organised (nor having the intention of organising) any protest against the suspension of CJN and any group who claimed to be students and had done so, did that on their own for personal gains. Okereafor told Nigerian Tribune exclusively that as bonafide Nigerian students in tertiary institutions and leaders, NANS is not only distance itself from what he called disgraceful protest calling for the reinstatement of Onnoghen, but also condemned such call in its entirety. “We have wasted our valuable times on these avoidable strikes,” he said.
