BEING THE REPORT OF THE NANS OGUN JOINT CAMPUS COMMITTEE (JCC) SENATE MEETING HELD AT TASUEDSU SECRETARIAT ON THURSDAY, 29TH OF OCTOBER 2020

The meeting which had the JCC Chairman, Vice Chairman, General Secretary and the Students Union Presidents of TASUED, OOU, FUNAAB, AAPoly, OSCOHTECH, DSA Poly, FCE, OSCCA and MAPOLY (Speaker) was conveyed at the Students' Union Secretariat of TASUED at about 1:20PM.
The meeting started proper with the appraisal of the past activities of the JCC.

The State Of Campus report was given by each of the Union President on sit. The President of OOU, TASUED and FUNAAB lamented the elongated ASUU strike which has kept students at home even after the lockdown has been lifted. It was resolved to that the NANS Chairman should ensure a meeting with other Chairmen in the South West Zone to discuss the pattern of intervention of the Students' leaders in the zone towards an end to the strike. Yet, the JCC declare her support for ASUU and call on the Federal Government to meet the demands of the Union.

The President of OSCOHTECH SUG in his address emphasised the need for security to be beefed up in the students' host communities as there are frequent cases of burgling and robbery. This was corroborated by FUNAAB SUG President who raised the lamentable issue of invasion of Fulani herdsmen in their host communities. It was then resolved, that the issue of Students-Police Committee that was initially discussed with the state Commissioner of Police should be facilitated so as to start necessary intervention to curb security threats in students' community.

The President of the DSA Polytechnic pressed before the JCC the health risk the emission from the activities of Lafarge Cement factory is causing the Polytechnic Community as well as the damages to the road leading to the institution by trucks belonging to the company.
It was observed that rather than contributing to the institution in form of CSR, the company has not contributed anything meaningfully to the institution as such. Hence, the committee agreed that the Chairman with his executives must do everything humanly possible to facilitate a meeting between the management of the company and the Students' leadership in order to press home the reservations and demands of the students. A failure of such meeting to hold between the time of this press statement and two weeks ultimatum would make the JCC relocate her headquarters to the factory for a picketing.

On the EndSARS protest and formation of panel of inquiry by the Governor, the inclusion of the Chairman was appreciated as a recognition of students community. However, the JCC demanded that the activities of the panel be made open for the public to see in order to build the confidence and trust of the public in the panel and state government.

On meeting with the Governor of the state, the JCC laud the commitment of the state governor towards the demands of students. The inspection of roads leading to our institution by the state government was appreciated. We therefore make an appeal that the Governor should continue to show the students community such a commitment.
We recognize the actions taken by the State Government since meeting with us towards fulfilling the commitment for the students community. The issue of landlords/students conflict over house rent for the period of the pandemic was raised. While identifying the fact that issue of energy is a national discourse, we again appeal to the Governor to continuously intervene positively through the Commissioner for Education as we have been seeing in the last two weeks to put a lasting smile on the face of the students in the Gateway state.
Also, the JCC appreciate the Governor is his wise Choice of Commissioner for Education and the special interest he has shown in the education sector

The JCC laud and appreciate her matron, for the scholarship awarded to twenty students across the state.

The preparation towards the International Students' Day that comes up annually every 17TH of November was raised. It was agreed to that the State Governor be the Chief Host of the day, Vice Chancellor of FUNAAB, Prof Felix Salako the guest speaker and Engr Mrs Funmi Ayinke the mother of the day.

The crisis in the NANS National was discussed extensively sighting the purported impeachment of the National President Bamidele Danielson Akpan and the appointment of the VP National, Chidi Ilogede as the President. The JCC stated that it has not gotten clarity on the allegations against Bamidele neither was it involved in the impeachment process. Hence, we cannot take a stand on the issue yet. It was resolved that the JCC Chairman in his meeting with other Chairmen of the Zone next week must table the matter for discussion in order for the Zone to take a collective decision on the matter bearing in mind how it would not affect the Zone Presidency in the forthcoming national convention.
