He revealed that with the federal government directive, he he was going to spend the night in the conference room until all the problems that are keeping the students away from school are resolved.

“The president has directed me to pass the night here until all issues that have kept our children away from school are resolved and strike called off. He has also directed me to impress upon you, the imperative of little sacrifice from all sides, knowing full well that the revenue of the federation has dwindled from what it had before present administration assumed office,” he said.
