National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has called for renewed focus of government at all levels on education and security in the country.
The president of NANS, Comrade Pedro Obi, made the call in Enugu and felicitated with Nigerian students at home and in the Diaspora for seeing the end of 2023.
He called for reflection on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, particularly in the educational sector.
“The year 2023 was marred by incessant increments in school fees across our tertiary institutions. This unwarranted burden placed on students and their families has hindered access to education and threatened the future of many promising young minds.
“NANS strongly condemns this trend and calls on the federal government to urgently address the issue by convening an education summit.
“The purpose of the education summit is to review the state of education in previous years, assess where we were, where we are currently and where we should be in the future, and chart a course for the future,” he said.
