The National Association of Nigerian Students has warned the Department of State Services not to deter students from exercising their rights to protest, saying this is a universally recognised human right.
The National Public Relations Officer of the union, Giwa Temitope, was reacting to the statement made by DSS that some politicians were mobilising student leaders for violent protest against the Federal Government over socioeconomic matters.
The NANS PRO, in a statement on Tuesday, said the student body would be storming UNILAG for the protest and urged the DSS not to infringe on the rights of students.
NANS said the failure of the UNILAG management to honour the agreement reached at the meeting with student leaders on August 2, “forced the student body to fix a date of action at the university for September 6 and the protest will hold till the management reverses the hike.
