• Despite a last-ditch effort meeting held this evening with the state Cabinet, the NSF expressed deep regret that no positive outcome was achieved.
• 
  
• “The state government has failed to revoke the Cabinet order dated 11th September 2024 for the regularisation of 147 contractual assistant professors under the department of Higher Education. Therefore, the federation is constrained to proceed with the proposed democratic agitation,” it informed.
• 
  
• All federating units of the NSF have been instructed to mobilise volunteers and assemble at 8.30 am on April 29 at Naga Solidarity Park, Kohima, to initiate the first phase of the agitation.
• 
  
• “Strict discipline, unity, and adherence to the directives of the NSF leadership must be maintained throughout the course of the agitation,” it stated.
