According to a statement signed at Abuja by its Head of Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, has it that ''An appeal has been made to the National Assembly to suspend the process of the amendment to allow the Board and tertiary institutions, including the Federal Ministry of Education and other stakeholders to go back to a round table for discussion at a conducive atmosphere, as all agreed to work together for the benefit of the Nigerian child''.
