The communique partly read;
The Congress affirmed its commitment, dedication to the struggle of NANS against all forms of oppression against students in our campuses and called on the Federal Government to immediately honour the agreement with ASUU and pay the lecturers appropriately and in due course to avoid other actions that will be taken by ASUU that will put academic activities in quagmire.
The congress commended the commitment of stakeholders and leaders in the Zone C for always fighting for the rights and welfare of the students and also for the continued support the executives receive from them.
