The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) is calling on the Federal Government to reinstate the Vice Chancellors of 13 federal universities who were sacked over a month ago.
Addressing a news conference in Abuja, National President of the association, Comrade Tijani Shehu, said the sacking was unjustly done by the government in violation of rules governing the appointment of vice chancellors.
The association appealed to the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, to advise President Muhammadu Buhari properly in order to reverse the sacking of the 13 vice chancellors which NANS described as unconstitutional.
The Federal Government had earlier in the year sacked and replaced vice chancellors of federal universities established by the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan. (Channels TV)
