The National Association of Nigerian Students, Kwara State chapter, has called for greater commitment and investment in the education sector in Nigeria.

Kwara State Chairman, NANS, Akorede Shakir, in a communique obtained by our correspondent on Sunday, said the group condemned cultism and other social vices in tertiary institutions.

The student body also said there was the need to partner with security agencies to tackle the menace of cultism and other social vices on the campuses.

It described the partnership of NANS and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency in the inauguration of 'Drug Free Clubs' on all campuses in the state as a welcome development.

It expressed optimism that the initiative would help curb drug addiction and other crimes and social vices on campuses.

The group commended security agencies for their roles in curbing cultism and addressing other vices in the institutions.

The student body also said there was the need to reopen the Kwara State College of Education Technical which had reportedly been closed for a long time.

It said it would approach the Kwara State Government on the issue with a view to getting the government to ensure that the college was reopened.

The group, which praised the state government for the creation of the Ministry of Tertiary Institutions in the state, said the ministry should carry out its mandate unencumbered, adding that its positive impact should be felt by all tertiary institutions in the state.
