The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), South West Zone, has expressed keen interest in the policies to be implemented by the ministers of education, Tahir Mamman; Communications, innovation, and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani; Innovation, science, and Technology, Uche Nnaji; and Sports Development, John Enoh.
Coordinator, NANS Southwest Zone, Mr Alao John, stated this in a statement issued on Monday while expressing confidence in their abilities to deliver.
Topmost, according to Alao, is education, calling on the education minister to avert arbitrary increases in fees payable by students of tertiary institutions and defer further increases where possible.
He further charged Mamman to develop and implement policies that would lessen the burden on students.
He particularly said the NANS yearned for the long-desired changes in the educational sector and the Nigerian economy at large.
The NANS coordinator also said the student body identified how crucial to the economy the policies of the ministries of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Innovation Science and Technology, and Sports Development are.
Describing the activities of the three Ministries as intertwined, Alao urged the three Ministers in charge to work in sync such that the impacts of their policies are felt by students and Nigerians at large.
He tasked the appointees with immediately getting down to business and implementing the needed reforms.(Nigerian Tribune)
