BEING THE PREST STATEMENT ISSUED BY NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF POLYTECHNIC STUDENTS (NAPS) ON THE DEATH OF DAZAN MUATIN CHARITY A STUDENT OF YABA COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY. on the 12th February 2016.
Protocol's :
"The future would have no pity for those men who, possessing the exceptional privilege of being able to speak words of the truth to their oppressors, haven taken refuge in an attitude of passivity, of mute indifference and sometimes in cold complicity" (Frantz fanon)
In meditative soreness, we are moaning and mourning the death of our fallen colleague cut down in the prime of her life by the lackadaisical attitudes of some barbaric zombies in human clothing being paid to save life but doing other wise. It is pertinent at this pensive juncture to damn the atrocities perpetrated and may still be perpetrating by heartless health workers on poor and helpless patients, students and citizens of the country.
It is disheartening loosing our young promising colleague to the cold hand of death, due to the insensitivity of authorities toward's the health sector and health workers lacking respect for human life. Probably if DAZAN MUATIN CHARITY was given adequate attention at as when due the story might be different by now. The distress and pressure she was made to undergo before accessing treatment contribute largely to her early death.
It's most unfortunate that nothing in Nigeria is freely access anymore, free medical attention as become a history of the time past, even first aid treatment to a dying patient at a federal medical center cost immediate payment or life of the context. How long do we have to continue loosing our love one's before getting it Right? How many more lives do we have to loose for normality to be restored back to our system?.
YABATECH'S MANAGEMENT STAINED WITH THE BLOOD OF NIGERIA STUDENT
Either good or bad our actions and inactions is like a flame that cannot be erased on planet earth but will surely echo till eternity. From whatever angle we wish to decipher into the ugly incident, the management of Yaba college of technology contribute to the loss of our colleague and share a capital blame in the aftermath reactions of the student.
Unpleasant to the ear that an institution as repute as YABATECH do not have adequate health facilities to cater minor health challenges, experience health workers who could proffer adequate treatment and refer to expertise as at when necessary and most annoying when least expected that test not being carried out before administering drips, drugs and injection to patient.
We demand explanations on why the TINSHIP scheme of the NHIS our students pay for every year does not cater the treatment of Dazan when she needed it most, she was made to lie helpless without treatment because of fund, this NHIS should cater if the management and the HMO do justice to our payment.
THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF FMC EBUTE-METTA, A REAGENT OF OCCURENCE.
When conscienceless power meets with powerless conscience the former laugh first while the later laugh last.
The callous decision of the FMC to have shut their ears to the cry of our dying colleague is an act of unprofessionalism, our student with all proof of identification was convey to the centre with school ambulance and still was denied first aid treatment, very unfortunate that medical centre where life should be rescue as become a dungeon of death.

GAPOSA PROTEST A LIBERTY TAKING FOR LICENSE
"A revolutionary must hold himself responsible and accountable for all his activities hence he has to develop selective reaction to all his actions".
The leadership of National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) share the students anxiety in bluntly rejecting the introduction of payment deadline for school fees after which students would be restricted from gaining access into the school premises, its in no doubt that the current predicament of the nations economy prompted the repelling actions of the student, and their agitation for installmental payment.
We acknowledge our support to the angry students, join them in their agitation as it remains the constitutional responsibility of every Union to consistently protect the legitimate interest of her members, shield them from exploitation, intimidation, victimization, e.t.c. While we condemn in totality the approach at which the Students Union Leaders takes to fight their cause, it is the ideology of students unionism to ensure the avoidance of any protest you cannot reasonably afford, negotiation avenues, dialogues, consultation and consolidations should be exhausted while protest should always be the last resort.
There is no justification for students leaders loosing their morals in the course of discharging their duties for whatsoever reasons, In spite of our grievances and bitterness constructive agitation should be adopted when issues erupts to abolish the arrogations of our struggles by portraying us as the custodians of exuberance and scapegoat of indiscipline. It should be understand that students handbook is the first constitutional guide of all students on campus before reference could be giving to any other guiding books.
Student leaders should desist being partisan to politician and playing scrip with our struggles. Our fact finding mission reveals the conjoining of unionism with politics which is tantamount to nothing but injustice, politicians should follow their parties diligently while unionist should advocate the welfare of their members. Being economical with the truth do us more harm than good.
NAPS express great displeasure in school management embarking on obnoxious rules and regulation, it is our view that such rules are calculatedly design to frustrate students into unholy dealing and a plot to exploit students unnoticed.
We appeal the school authority realizes we are students and that reason they are our managers, we plead the room for resolution is open so we can come back to exist as a family. It became imperative we appeal the Student Union Building should be free from lock and chains as we believe the union as an institution should not be banned because it is the only effective forum through which the students can express their grievances and enhance their welfare. To ban union is to depict fear of checkmate. we implore the authority to forgo any plan to expel, suspend or rusticate any student , we can harmonize our charges to solve our existing communication gaps.
