Inside Aluta, gentleman no dey o...my brother, inside the struggle, gentleman no dey o. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS (NANUS) PRESS RELEASE!!! Sat. August 23, 2014 *****NANUS REJECTS THE CLOSURE OF OOU***** When men carry the same ideals in their hearts, nothing can isolate them, neither prison walls nor the sod of cemeteries for a single spirit, a single ideal, a single conscience and single dignity will sustain them all - Fidel Castro.

We completely reject the saturation of the university environment with security men as there is no reported case of riot in the premises. Failure to do this, then the state governor should be expecting...
