 Anitaraba State Youth Council has raised alarm over the recent hijack of demonstrations by students of the State University by political thugs. The protest embarked upon by the students was to press for the payment of lecturers' salaries and the commencement of exams as scheduled by the management of the school. Speaking at a press conference in Jalingo, Comrade Atoshi Hikan cautioned the students to be cautious of desperate politicians' poise to cause pandemonium in the state. He however advised the students to avoid being used as thugs in view of the present heightened political space but resolved to elect credible leaders in the forthcoming general elections. It is no longer news that students of Taraba State University embarked on a protest to press for the payment of lecturers' salaries and commencement of their examination as scheduled by the Taraba State University Authority. Taraba State University today is among the first-growing university in the country which needs the collective resolve of all critical stakeholders including students to move to the next level. Our advice to students is for them not to be used as thugs in view of the present heightened political activities but should resolve to collecting and electing credible leaders in the forthcoming general election. It is a treason that some politicians who does not meant well for people of the state have misgivings and misinterpretations about the protest than dwelling on issues that will bring peace and development. Tarabans must rise up to their responsibility by ensuring that they distance themselves from mischief makers bent on twerking the many achievements of Governor Darius Dixon Ishakou.
