Students of Ekiti State origin in tertiary institutions embarked on marathon prayers to seek divine intervention in the five- month old strike by the members of the Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities, ASUU.
The
students, who were drawn from the various institutions of higher
learning converged at Lady Jibowu Hall, Ekiti Government House where
they held the prayer session
The session had in attendance, the state’s Deputy Governor, Professor Modupe Adelabu and some clerics. Adelabu in her remarks cautioned the students against taking to the streets and engaging in illegal acts that could lead to violence and disruption of peace in the state.
She noted that they did the right thing by taking their petition to God. She said it was unfortunate that both parties to the dispute – ASUU and the Federal Government – had remained adamant despite interventions from well-meaning Nigerians.
Pastor John Aladete in his sermon at the prayer session urged the students not to be daunted by their present predicament as a result of the protracted ASUU strike.
The cleric charged them to be hopeful with an assurance that God will be with them irrespective of the present development. He said God has designed their generation to bring the desired change needed by the country.
The students were later led into series of prayer sessions by some clerics
What Next will people do for Governemnet to listen
