The students of Taraba State University (TSU) Jalingo have suspended their planned peaceful demonstration against strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), giving the state government until Friday to resolve the crisis.
The National Union of Taraba State Students (NUTASS) President, Aliyu Sulaiman on Tuesday, while briefing newsmen in Jalingo, called on the state government to act swiftly to resolve the crisis and ensure students return to class without further delays.
Recall that the students earlier planned a peaceful protest by Monday to register their frustration caused by the ongoing strike by ASUU.
Nungamiya Lodiya, Chairman of the Joint Campus Council of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Taraba Chapter, stated that while they agreed to the postponement, the students would shut down all roads within the state, if the crisis was not resolved.
Also speaking, Comrade Rose Agada, President of the Students Union Government (SUG) of the university, expressed frustration, stating that students were unfairly bearing the brunt of the standoff between the government and lecturers.
Meanwhile, Mr. Norbert Abeh, a representative of the Students Representative Assembly (SRA)appealed to both the state government and the striking union to resolve their differences in the interest of the students.
It will be recalled that the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU Taraba chapter began an indefinite strike on December 5, 2024, disrupting examinations and finalyear academic activities.
The union cited unmet demands by the Taraba government as the reason for its strike action.
