The NANS President further stated that the association would engage the Federal government and ASUU’s leaders in a joint entente with the sole aim of procuring an effective solution to the impasse negotiations that have been going on between the two sides.
He however vowed that if no positive results are achieved following a consultation with both arms and the strike presses on, he would take it upon himself to ensure that all tertiary institutions, including private-owned are shut down completely.
