FULL TEXT OF SPEECH OF THE NATIONAL PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF POLYTECHNIC STUDENTS (NAPS), Fawale Oluwole Jacob, AFTER NAPS MEETING WITH THE LEADERSHIP OF ASUP, OVER THE ON-GOING NATIONWIDE STRIKE.

The injustice that the entire Polytechnic Students of this country keep receiving from the federal government and all concerned authorities over the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) strike has reached its climax that the aluta forces of this formidable association must be unleashed to fight for our denied fundamental right.

It’s enough for us to tolerate people that have no passion for our future, we must react!
Sequel to our non-compromising ultimatum given to the Federal Government as a firm and non-ground-shifting demand for swift action and progressive resolution with ASUP as a matter of necessity to save the lives of polytechnic students of this nation, it is extremely unpalatable as the storm refuses to be over, rather, students' lives keep dwelling in impoverishment and our government cares not!

Should we continue to keep silent in the face of tyranny? Building on the current and genuine information reaching us from a confirmed authority, it is unfortunately regrettably that the federal government has concluded that Nigerian Students should fight for the survival of their destiny by themselves. 

The Authority of the entire polytechnic students (NAPS) across the country hereby call on the solidarity spirits of all its members and patriotic students in generality to start, immediately, mobilizing in masses and classes for the coming rally staging on Tuesday 21st, May 2013 in the FCT, Abuja.

No retreat! No surrender! Greatest Polytechnic students, victory comes alone by struggle, and the force of the freedom fighters is the actual voice of humanitarian. Justice must not only be attained but must at all time be sustained and preserved! Thus, we in solidarity spirit call on all SUG Presidents and "egalitarian comrades "to follow all linking roads to Abuja, come next week Tuesday.

The struggle to emancipate our future from the satanic hands is a gospel that must be collectively achieved.

FREEDOM cometh by STRUGGLE...

Nothing shall discourage us.

Aluta Continual! Victorial Ascerta!

Signed

Fawale Oluwole Jacob

National President, NAPS
