“There has to be a deliberate policy on the part of progressive students to take the National Association of Nigerian Students back from the government and re-position it to defend and protect the interests of their members.” Nigeria StudentUnion

Speaking at the 9th convocation of Caleb University, Imota, Falana said students are expelled for protesting against perceived injustice, which is contrary to the tenets of justice.

“As a matter of urgency, the ban on students unionism should be lifted in all campuses. I am of the view that students and staff unions will contribute meaningfully to the search for solution to the myriad of problems confronting the country if they are allowed to operate without fear of proscription.

Speaking further, Falana said we must move away from a cargo economy to a knowledge economy, adding “You cannot develop a knowledge economy without huge and deliberate investment in human capital in the area of education.” He tasked political science departments to constantly monitor the political system, track budget performance at the Federal, state and local Government levels in order to ensure even and balanced development of all areas of the country.
