It is with great enthusiasm from a frustrated state of mind due to the continuing suspension of Students involved in Unionism in Nigerian Institutions by school authorities that i write this article to "conscientize" the public on the emergence of student Unionism and why it is now considered a path to getting rusticated in Nigerian Institutions. Student Unionism as it is became eminent in 1925 with the emergency of West African Student Union (WASU) and was partly pioneered by some Nigerian students in London. They fought the colonial masters for the rights of Africans. National Union of Nigeria Students (NUNS) inherited the same idealism from WASU and the student union matched on as a platform of change and of informed activism. Perceptively, every student in Nigerian Institutions should involve in Student Unionism to voice against the irrational and unjust treatment of students by the school authorities. Students should stay united and strong to fight against ...
