Speaking at a joint press conference on Thursday in Abeokuta, the NAOSS National President, Gbemileke Ogunrombi emphasized that majority of the students are facing difficulty in coping with the cash crunch.
According to him, the Ogun state students will continue to support the state government in all ramifications for peaceful coexistence of the state.
Similarly, the Chairman, National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Ogun State, Simeon Kehinde called on students in the state to remain calm and shun any form of protest that may truncate the peaceful atmosphere in the country.

“We are advising students to remain calm and resolute towards a peaceful nation as we approach elections.
“We are calling on parents to warn their children to secure this nation. Don’t go out there and become a tool in the hands of politicians. Go out with your PVC and make the right choice.”
