Acting Senate President of the National Association of Nigerian Students John Shima, while addressing a press conference in Abuja, said Nigerian students have been idle for more than two months and are now engaging in anti-social vices.
Shima called for a needs assessment of polytechnics and colleges of education as was done for universities to ascertain the level of decay in those institutions.
“This may also stop unions in those institutions from embarking on their own strike,” he said.
NANS appealed to President Goodluck Jonathan to not delay in filling the vacancy of Minister of education as there are many urgent needs in the ministry requiring attention.
The association urged Jonathan to appoint someone with competence and understanding of the challenges in the sector.
