Njala University Students Plan Big Demo Tomorrow

                       Njala University Students Plan Big Demo Tomorrow

Njala University College students are planning a big demonstration tomorrow to express dissatisfaction over the continued strike action staged by their lecturers.

This situation has left the students stranded insofar as their education is concerned. For five months now, they have been out of lecture room as a result.

The seeming inaction by the authorities concerned has left the students with no option but to stage what they refer to as a "peaceful demonstration".

Accordingly, the students plan to direct their demonstration at State House in Freetown and have vowed not to leave there until His Excellency President Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma who happens to be the Chancellor of the University of Sierra Leone, address them on the way forward.

It remains unclear how peaceful and successful the demonstration will be, but what is clear is that the Sierra Leone Police sometime last year placed a stiff ban on all protest actions around State House.

Meanwhile, members of the public have condemned the way and manner in which government has handled the Njala situation thus far.
