…hails Kwara gov over prompt response to demands
The National Association of Kwara State Students, (NAKSS) has assured the student community that it will continue to make agitations that will favour them.
The president of the association, Comrade Muftau Mubarak Shittu Atunlushe speaking during a press conference, sought the magnanimity of the present administration in attending to their yearnings as they are currently witnessing the bursary agitation.
“We want to emphatically state that as student leaders, we will continue to make agitations that are well thought and student-oriented, and as such, we seek the magnanimity of the present administration to always attend to our yearnings as we’re currently witnessing on the bursary agitation. Then, and only then, the synergy we share will continue to propagate into what we all dream to have and the resultant effect will be the birth of safe, tranquil, serene, and progressive Kwara.
“Over the past few weeks, the leadership of NAKSS Headquarters, owing to the allegiance we made to represent the interest of our teeming members, has been involved in a lot of activities, the struggle to ensure the payment of bursary to her members topping the priorities. To the glory of God, we have an impressive record, even though, we can’t take chance at this period of time,” Atunlushe stated on behalf of other members.
The students’ body also appreciated the Executive Governor of Kwara State, Alhaji AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for responsiveness in ensuring that the demands of the students are well treated.
It added, “It takes someone who feels the burden that comes with the outbreak of Covid-19 and other economic disasters to take such prompt action. This, we really appreciate.
“We also want to express gratitude to the State government on the directive given to the management of Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin, to allow students of the institution, who haven’t paid their school fees to be given the opportunity to write their examination considering the economic crises facing the country. The decision to allow the affected student to sit for the examination is a total commitment to altruism which we have known the present Government since assumption of office.”
The leadership of NAKSS, therefore, saluted the doggedness of the Honorable Commissioner of Ministry of Tertiary Education Science and Technology, Barr. Senior Ibrahim Sulyman for his early involvement in the issue related to students’ welfare and his role in ensuring that they reach a common ground with the government.
