University students in Ekiti State have threatened to emit their anger over the lingering deadlock between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on the private universities in the country.

CEOAFRICA new desk gathered from the comments of representative of the angry students who also marched to the Press Centre in the Old Governor’s Office in Ado Ekiti, that the Federal Government had been insensitive to ASUU’s demands because “their children are either in foreign universities or in private universities in Nigeria.

The students, who came under the aegis of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Joint Campus Committee, argued that it was wrong for the Federal Government to claim that there was no money to implement the 2009 agreement it signed with the university lecturers.

“We will mobilize ourselves and ensure that we disrupt academic activities in most of the private school because it is the sons and daughters of the affluent that are in these schools,” they said.
