Ekiti NYC Appeals for Peace at BSEU, Calls for Understanding Among Workers and VC.

The Ekiti State chapter of the Nigerian Youth Congress has appealed for calm and understanding over the ongoing tension between workers and the Vice-Chancellor of Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere-Ekiti (BOUESTI).

Speaking with newsmen in Ado-Ekiti on Monday, the State Chairman of the Congress, Aare Adedara Temitope Moses, urged both parties to embrace dialogue and maintain a peaceful atmosphere within the university environment.

Adedara described the institution as a critical hub for academic and youth development in Ekiti, stressing that any prolonged crisis could disrupt the smooth running of academic activities and negatively impact students.

He said, “We are appealing to the leadership of BOUESTI, the Vice-Chancellor, and the workers to sheath their swords and embrace dialogue. No development can take place in an atmosphere of rancour. Our university must not be turned into a battleground. Peace is the only way forward.”

The NYC chairman, while calling on stakeholders to wade into the matter, noted that Ekiti State had always been known for peace and intellectual excellence, urging all parties not to allow the situation to degenerate further.

Adedara also pledged that the Nigerian Youth Congress would continue to mediate and advocate for solutions that prioritize students’ welfare and protect the integrity of the institution.
