The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has said that it is making efforts to ensure that some of the benefits enjoyed by federal universities are extended to federal polytechnics and state-owned institutions as well.
National President of NANS, Sunday Asefon made this known during a visit to the Rector of the Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti, Dr Hephzibah Oladebeye.
Mr Sunday remarked that the student association will also ensure quality welfare for students in all parts of the country.
He said, "I met with the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, on the need for the Federal Government to extend the hand of fellowship it has extended to some Federal Universities on road networks to Federal Polytechnics and other state tertiary institutions that are yet to benefit.
"I also discussed with him on how to help the tertiary institutions to have benefitting hostels. Looking at what is going on, the management alone cannot do it and once they are under pressure, the students will be at the receiving end. These are the issues we are going to discuss with stakeholders at every level".
