The association also advised President Buhari to seek ways of establishing special courts on anti-corruption matters, saying the delay in prosecution of individuals involved in corruption cases was inimical to the ongoing anti-corruption war.
The president of NANS, Chinonso Obasi, said the introduction of subsidy in education would afford every Nigerian child the opportunity of being adequately educated.
Obasi appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to consider such as step as one of his legacies.
“We, the Nigerian students are the most marginalized people in this country and so, President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has not shown any love to the Nigerian students.
“We are appealing to him to subsidize education. When you train a Nigerian child, you have trained a nation. He should not leave the responsibility of education the Nigerian child to the parents because if you don’t train us, in time to come, we will be more

“Let’s save the future by educating every Nigerian child. Government should subsidize education, they should have some percentage of what they pay to also help the Nigerian child to go to school.
“If people are not educated, they will act under ignorance. It is at this platform of ignorance that you may not even hold them liable because they had the opportunity of directing them on the right thing to do earlier.
“The right thing is educating a child so that he could know the difference between right and wrong, legal and illegal. Nobody wants war in his country but there will be war if people are not educated, people can be lobbied to do things just to survive.

“A lot of them who have found themselves in a lot of atrocities and even dealings today are doing them not really because they were born to do that. It is because they must have been diverted by people of bad minds or people who don’t mean well.
“Therefore, for the country or the Federal government to safeguard the future of the country, they must redirect their funding to education, with a view to educating every Nigerian child.
“If a child does not have what it takes to go to school, if parents don’t have what it takes to go to school, the government must come in, to help the Nigerian child to go to school.”
