This development is not only unacceptable; it challenges the very fabrics of our national development, unity, cohesion and portends grave danger to our educational institutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNANS under my leadership, having considered the continuous threats to the lives of our students and the lukewarm pace of security apparatuses to these nefarious crimes, we regrettably call on government to order immediate, and temporary closure of all schools in the North-West and North-Central until adequate security is put in place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asefon, who stated that while NANS regrets that the situation could degenerate to this abysmal point to warrant the demand, said he was left with no practical alternative than to ask for the closure of schools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has declared June 12 as the day for a national protest over the growing insecurity in the country, especially the incessant kidnappings of students.
