A COMMUNIQUÉ OF THE COALITION OF NIGERIAN STUDENT LEADERS MEETING HELD AT THE INSTANCE OF THE LEADERSHIP OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIAN STUDENTS NANS, BAYELSA STATE AXIS AT TAMARA EVENT PLACE, OTIOTIO, YENAGOA, BAYELSA STATE ON WEDNESDAY, 29TH OF JULY 2020.

PREAMBLE:
The meeting was called at the instance of the leadership of NANS Bayelsa State concerning students' welfare and the state of the education sector in Bayelsa State. The student leadership stressed on the need for Senator Douye Diri, the Executive Governor of Bayelsa state and his administration to take student welfare as a priority, while also congratulating him on his victory at the Supreme Court, which thus presents His Excellency as truly a miracle governor who has come to salvage the student community.

The student leadership also appreciates the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education Comr. Walton A. Liverpool for his open door policies and educative programs such as E-learning on radio and social media platforms, skill acquisition and essay writing competition organized by the ministry, in other to eliminate academic rustiness amongst students that may likely occur due to their long stay at home caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

OBSERVATIONS:

The student leadership frowns at the neglect of student welfare by previous administrations. Some rights and privileges of the student community have been left unattended to. It is indeed very sad to state that students have not received bursary in Bayelsa State for more than five years now, but that is the obvious truth.

We also observe that the Bayelsa State Scholarship Board which supposed to serve as an alternative for academically sound Bayelsa students to benefit from have been left out for more than six years.

Furthermore, the sudden hike in fees at the Niger Delta University has really been a pain in the neck of parents especially the peasant farmers and fishermen living in the creeks, who can no longer afford the fees of their children in a state owned university.

Following our tour across primary and secondary schools in the state, we have equally observed that some primary and secondary schools across the eight Local Government Areas are so dilapidated thereby putting the lives of students at risk.

The students' leadership has observed the non-participation of Niger Delta University students in union activities due to the ban of student unionism in the institution, which obviously is a breeding ground for future political leaders, and promoting the competitiveness of students in the Niger Delta University with sister institutions.

Since the establishment of the Bayelsa State College of Health Technology (BYCOHTECH) Otuogidi in 2005 (fifteen years ago), there have bee issues of accreditation and till date it is yet to be accredited.

Students mobility within and outside the state has been a major challenge for long while.

Finally, in Federal University Otuoke and Federal Polytechnic Ekowe, there are hostel accomodation, electricity, roads and water supply challenges.

RESOLUTIONS:

In the light of the above, the leadership of NANS Bayelsa State hereby resolves as follows:

That His Excellency, Senator Douye Diri, Executive Governor or Bayelsa State should consider the payment of bursary to indigenous students, which is an educational support facility that has been neglected for over five years.

We also pray His Excellency to consider reviving and funding the Bayelsa State Scholarship Board in order to enable indigenous students access to scholarship.

That NDU school fees should be brought back to status quo. This is to enable even the less privileged to have access to education at an affordable rate.

That, the Vice Chancellor of Niger Delta University, Prof. Samuel E. Gowon should consider the formation of a Student Union Government (SUG) in order to allow full participation of Niger Delta University students in union activities.

Following the NCDC Covid-19 guidelines on the resumption of school, Government should as a matter of urgency fumigate all primary and secondary schools in Bayelsa State as students in SSS 3, JSS 3 and Primary 6 get set for their exams.

That His Excellency should consider the renovation of dilapidated secondary and primary schools across the state to ensure a conducive learning environment for students.

That the student leadership appreciates His Excellency for appointing one of its leaders, Barr. John Sambo as Director Of Domestic Affairs, Bayelsa State Government House.

That, His Excellency should as a matter of urgency intervene in the accreditation processes of the Bayelsa State College of Health Technology (BYCOHTECH) Otuogidi.

That, His Excellency should consider the mobility of students by providing buses for student bodies in the state.

That, the state government should consider partnering with the federal institutions in the state in providing accomodation, electricity, roads, and water supply.

Aluta Continua! Victoria Ascerta!
