OPEN LETTER TO US SECRETARY OF STATE, MR JOHH KERRY'S 2-DAY OFFICIAL VISIT TO NIGERIA.
Mr. John Kerry,
Secretary of States,
United States of America.
Thru: US CONSUL GENERAL
United States Embassy,
Abuja, Nigeria.
Dear Sir,
NANS WELCOMES MR. JOHN KERRY, US SECRETARY OF STATES TO NIGERIA ON MUTUAL COOPERATION.
The newly elected revolutionary leadership of NANS comprising of over 40 million Nigerian students from kindrgatten to tertiary at home and in diaspora accross the lenght and breadth of Nigeria uses this medium to officially welcome the Secretary of States to the United States government, Mr. John Kerry on a two days official visit to Nigeria between 23rd-24th August 2016.
At this critical time of our democratic transitional stage that currently battles economic recession on both natural and political challenges, there is no better time for the USA to show care, compassion, commitment and cooperation towards a pragmatic revamption of our economy once acclaimed to be the most prosperous in Africa.
We appreciate the focus of the US government delegation led by Mr. John Kerry meeting with President Buhari to discuss counter terrorism efforts, the Nigerian economy, the fight against corruption and human right issues as it will go a long way in combating effects of the afforementioned malaise bedeviling our economic growth and expected rapid development amongst the comity of nations.
However, the NANS, an advocating champion of the cause of stipulated standard of 26% allocation by governments to the education sector in their countries which has not been met by Nigeria's successive governments ought and should be included in the negotiating cooperations as education remains the bedrock of any serious nation's growth and development.
While we commend Mr. Kerry's scheduled meeting with adolescent girls working to change community perceptions that devalue the roles of girls in society and meetings with Nothern governors and religious leaders, we beseech on the US government to broaden the consultations to other important sectors, most inportantly the educational sector, institutions and structures in subsequent visitations and programmes as the impact and roles of the intelligentsia is been ignored in the process of moulding a prosperous Nigeria affordable for all.
We are not unaware that most developed countries of the world including the USA recognises the importance of their student structures and committed greatly to their educational structures, hence, we opine strongly that such should be accorded to NANS too as this administration is committed to supporting President Muhamadu Buhari's fight against corruption as we intend to formally constitute nationwide anti-corruption structures during the forthcoming 72nd Senate Meeting in Ebonyi to take the fight against corruption to the schools, homes and masses at large having realised that building the youth to build the nation is sacrosant in our agenda.
We will strongly educate, support and mobilise Nigerian students from the South of the Sahara to the North of Limpopo to encourage President Buhari fight against corruption with the cooperation and support of the United States of America's government and all stakeholders responsible for our national development with respect and accomodation of our contributions.
We wish you a prosperous stay in Nigeria during your visitation with good tidings from the ever conscious Nigerian students.
Welcome to Nigeria Mr Secretary of State.
