The National Association of Kwara State Students National headquarters has summoned all Kwara State Students to join in a Mass Protest against the Kwara State Government.

“Having waited for over 4 months, writing letters and using every known diplomatic approach to reach dialogue with the state government, they stayed recalcitrant refusing to release the approved money.

“However the association which stated his believes in diplomatic approach and has done everything possible physical to avert the protests against the state government, which had made the association cancelled some earlier schedule protest.

“We want to categorically state that we are coming out in full force on Monday, November 5th, 2018 taking to the street to express our grievances.
