The meeting between the Minister of Education, ADAMU ADAMU, and protesting Nigerian students ended in a deadlock as the minister walked out on them.
The deadlock occurred during a meeting held shortly after a protest by the National Association of Nigerian Students on Monday in Abuja.
The Minister had called for an impromptu arrangement to placate the protesting students who had barricaded the entrance of the Federal Ministry of Education, demanding immediate resolution of the crisis involving the Federal Government and Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
At the protest, members of NANS were seen with placards carrying various inscriptions such as “Nigerians deserve the best, education is a right not privilege” among others.
Speaking during a meeting with the Minister, the President of NANS, SUNDAY ASEFON said all they want is for the Government to sit down and iron things out with ASUU.
But in his response, the minister expressed disappointment at the behavior of the students and walked out of the meeting.
