The Union warned that at the expiration of the seven days ultimatum they would be left with no other option than to confront the striking lecturers.

Speaking with journalists in Umuahia, the NANS zone B financial secretary and the leader in Abia state, Comrade Eluwah Miracle, said that the students are determined to take their destinies in their own hands by  invoking the last “C” in  NANS system of settling issues which is confrontation

Eluwah accused the members of ASUU of being selfish in their demands  from the federal government and politically motivated adding that  student would no longer watch ASUU destroy education in the country and jeopardice the future of  millions Nigerian youths.

He said, “NANS Abia state chapter has condemned in strong terms the on-going nation-wide strike embarked upon by ASUU, which timing is not only wrong, but also detrimental to the security and  of the country.

Eluwah said that ASUU is claiming that their demands are genuine, “But their approach and timing is very wrong, because the world is now seeing it as being politically motivated and if they say it is not, they should go back to the classroom, while negotiation continues with the federal government”.

He maintained that the federal government has done well by offering ASUU the sum of N600 billion in addition to the N100 billion already made available this year for the funding of the universities, “which ASUU has rejected under the fragile nature of the country’s economy”.

On the issue that the funds from federal government has not been released, Eluwah said, “ASUU is claiming that the funds have not been released, why should the money be released when they have not accepted the offer by the federal government and until they accept the money cannot be released simple”.

He said that there are three Cs in the student Aluta struggle  which include Consultation, Consideration and finally Confrontation,  adding that they have made use of the first two Cs and will not hesitate to use the last one which is confrontation.
