He emphasised the importance of open communication and understanding in resolving issues, noting that many problems arose from poor communication rather than the issues themselves.

He also highlighted ongoing government efforts to enhance campus Security through the National Safe School Rapid Response Center, which swiftly addresses security threats.

Additionally, Mamman outlined new initiatives under the Ministry’s policy framework, such as the Data repository, Out-of-School, Teachers development and Skill acquisition (DOTS) programme.

“Your approach to issues is commendable and different from other unions I have interacted with. Your diplomatic and engaging manner is highly appreciated,” Sununu stated.

Sununu discussed the challenges faced by Students on bilateral education agreement Scholarships abroad, attributing delays in funding to budget constraints.

He assured the Students that the Ministry is working tirelessly with the Finance Ministry’ to alleviate their suffering and that a proposal to address these issues is in development.

Sununu also emphasised the importance of inclusivity and urged the NANS leadership to embrace contributions from all members to enhance the effectiveness of their administration.
