Asefon

The leading presidential aspirant of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Comrade Sunday Asefon felicitates with the  whole students in the world and also expressed its desire to preach the Students freedom from oppression.

Addressing reporters, Asefon, said despite the significance of the day in the life of students, it is paramount to task for the freedom from the oppression of the students movement, Just like Pharaoh somehow had strange suspicion that he’d better do something to hold these people back. 

The oppressor has that same inclination to want to hold Students back from their studies.

Many students in districts across the world, especially, in Nigeria are faced with issues of poverty, racism, and oppression in their communities and schools.

Government, Educators and administrators are uncertain about how to meet the needs of students, especially students of color living in poverty.

Our Government at all level, Educators and educational leaders must embrace this reality and make themselves accountable for the learning and academic success of all learners. 

This begins by acknowledging the privilege, power, and racism that exist in our educational system.

Then, oppression in our schools is a form of racism and privilege that must be overcome. If we continue to remain silent about these issues, we are communicating to our students and communities living in poverty that they are not worth serving, he said.
