“It is no longer new that our institution has been closed down and there seems no end in sight to restore the press home demands of our lecturers. This has only caused a major setback in our academic calendar, but a deteriorating signal to our future inclusive of those yet unborn.;

“The time is here to defend and protect our future; after a series of deliberations and engagement we resolved to issue a two weeks ultimatum to the state government to find a way of putting a lasting end to these recurrent strike actions.”
