The National Association of Kogi State Students (NAKOSS) has appealed to lecturers in Kogi State University, Anyigba, to call off their three months old strike in the interest of the students.
NAKOSS made the appeal on Tuesday in Lokoja during a press conference addressed by its president, Ahamadu Ibrahim.
Ibrahim told newsmen that students and parents had been at the receiving end of the lecturers’ action, saying it was time they have a rethink.
“We are tired of staying at home. “Since Gov. Yahaya Bello had already met 80 per cent of their demands, the lecturers should call off the strike to pave a way for the remaining unresolved matters to be thrashed through round table discussion,’’ Ibrahim pleaded.
He urged the lecturers to be mindful of the negative implications of the continued closure of the institution, saying that the future of the state and its citizens was at stake.
