The leadership of NURSS is also
demanding that Governor Nyesom Wike should immediately appoint a Special
Adviser on Students’ Affairs.
The students’ body believes that
the appointment of a students’ adviser to the Governor would enable them
interact effectively with the state government.
Additionally, NURSS is also
demanding monthly subvention from the Rivers State Government to be able to run
its programmes.
The positions were contained in a
communiqué that was adopted at the end of NURSS Congress held in Port Harcourt.
Reading the communiqué before
newsmen, NURSS President, Patrick Ogbuehi said Rivers State students also want
the House of Assembly to commence the process of passing into law a welfare
bill for students.
The NURS President warned that,
“failure to respond to their demands, the state government should be ready to
face Aluta wrath from the students.”
The NURSS communiqué was signed
by leaders of the Rivers State students in various tertiary institutions.
