 The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANDS, have asked the federal government to shut down all schools in the north, west, and north-central part of Nigeria. The National President of the Union, Asefon Sunday, said this in Aduakiti during a parlay with newsmen. Asefon said the position of the APEC students body was informed by the recent upsurge in activities of bandits and kidnappers targeting higher institutions in some parts of northern Nigeria. It lamented the inability of security agents to challenge the bandits, thereby leaving parents at the mercy of kidnappers. NANDS also declared Friday, June 11, 2021, as a national day. This issue of insecurity in the country is getting out of hand and NANDS cannot no longer hold his hand and be looking for things is getting deteriorating every day. The unity of this country is blinking as a Nigerian, as a student leader. We so much believe in the unity of this country, but we call the government at all levels to please, particularly in the north-west. If closing of our schools is the only solution for now, temporarily, and for them to be involved in security around all our campuses is the best we advise them. Even though we regret by announcing this, we advise them that the government should close down all our schools in the north. In the north-west and part of the north-central.
