By Hassan Bisiriyu

The Federation of Epe Division Students' Associations of Lagos State University of Science and Technology (FEDSA-LASUSTECH) held a press conference today to address the planned protest across the state, urging students to explore alternative approaches to achieving their goals.

According to President Sen. Habeeb O. Obadina, "We understand the frustrations of our students, but we must explore alternative approaches to achieve our goals. Confrontation is not the only solution, and we urge our students to embrace dialogue and work with us to find solutions that benefit everyone."

Rt. Hon. Edu Shaffi Oladehinde, FEDSA-LASUSTECH Speaker, emphasized the importance of collaboration, stating, "We believe that by working together with the government, administration, and other stakeholders, we can find solutions that benefit everyone. We are committed to working collaboratively to address the challenges we face and create a positive and productive learning environment."

Comr. Surakat Miftaudeen, former SUG President of LASPOTECH, also weighed in on the issue, emphasizing the importance of constructive dialogue. "In Aluta, there are 3Cs of Aluta which are Consultation, Consolidation, and Confrontation. You must exhaust the 2Cs before moving to the next one. We haven't exhausted the 2Cs, so I see no reason we need to confront for now."

The press conference comes as students across the state prepare for a planned protest to address various concerns. FEDSA-LASUSTECH leaders are urging students to consider the potential consequences of confrontation and instead work towards finding solutions through dialogue.

By embracing dialogue and collaboration, FEDSA-LASUSTECH hopes to create a positive and productive learning environment for all students. The organization remains committed to working with stakeholders to address the challenges facing students and find solutions that benefit everyone.
