It was learnt that the students reached the conclusion after a meeting of its leaders in the South-West Zone, held at the Federal University of Technology, Akure(FUTA) on Tuesday.
The meeting was attended by Presidents of Student Union Governments of the institutions in the zone, Ondo JCC Chairman Odunayo Kowe, NANS Southwest Zone D Treasurer, and the Vice President NANS, [National Affairs] Timilehin Ayenuro.
