the National executives of NADESSTU were summoned for an emergency meeting yesterday 20th July 2017 following the associations resolve to lead peaceful demonstrations over their slow pace of payment and the physical verifications introduced.
However upon exhaustive and extensive deliberations which lasted for 5hours, the meeting ended in deadlock as the board maintained it's stand of carrying out the verifications, the leadership of NADESSTU also posited the disadvantages and eventual disfranchisement of its members.
Security meetings held afterwards with the Delta State commissioner of Police where the plights of students in the ongoing payment exercise was registered, the Delta State commissioner of police sued for peace assuring the association of making a case before the Governor at the next State Security Council meeting. The State Director, department of State security service (DSS) who also invited the executives for discussions over the demonstration appealed that they be given time to meet and intimate the governor of our demands.
At around 9.00pm an emergency meeting was conveyed with the leadership of the bursary board where it was concluded that payments should commence immediately and the physical verifications suspended.
We thank the Executive Governor of Delta State His Excellency Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa for his continued love for students, the Commissioner for Higher Education Hon Jude Sinebe for his interventions, the indefatigable SA Students Comr. Jerry Ehiwairo for protecting the interest of students at all times, above all we thank the Delta State Bursary and Scholarship board for shifting grounds and allowing the will of students prevail.
We are committed to reclaiming the hay days of NADESSTU, we will not betray, we shall not compromise. This victory is dedicated to all Delta State students who have continued to reposed faith in this administration.
Aluta Continual!!
