The National Association of Nigerian Students, Southwest Zone D, on Wednesday, staged a protest against the crippling power supply across campuses and student communities in the zone.
Addressing the students who converged under the popular November 27 bridge, Osogbo, NANS coordinator for the zone, Josiah Adeyemo, expressed displeasure at the situation, calling on the federal government to find a lasting solution to it.
Adeyemo said the epileptic power supply has brought untold hardships to the students and must be addressed.
He said, “I am here with all the sister bodies of our association to register our displeasure in the current electricity crisis that has ravaged our nation and affected academic activities in our campuses and society.
“Our message to the government is that we realise and appreciate all they’ve been doing to ensure stability in the country. However, we must not forget that the true essence of stability lies in a society that can fully enjoy the maximum benefits of basic amenities provided by the government, and electricity is one of those essential amenities that we cannot overlook.
“This constant failure of electricity which in recent times has significantly dropped has brought about series of aggravations within our campuses and student community and we must let the government know that this is a priority for them.”
