Group blast Kogi state government over students comment

The Kogi Renaissance Group, KRS, has slammed the state governor, Yahayah Bello for threatening to treat students in the state as kidnappers and criminals.

Bello and National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), recently locked horns over the former’s threat to proscribe the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Kogi State University chapter.

Lecturers in the school had embarked on strike three months ago to protest against the non-payment of their salaries, a situation which led to the governor threatening to cancel the staff union of the university.

Reacting to the governor’s threat, KRS Executive Secretary, Usman Okai Austin described the governor’s comment against students as a ‘joke taken too far.’

He therefore called on relevant authorities to closely check governor before he completely ruin the Confluence State.
