NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIAN STUDENTS (NANS) PRESS STATEMENT
October 18, 2024
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has been made aware of the recent unrest at the College of Health Sciences and Technology, Jega, Kebbi State.
In light of this development, NANS calls for calm and restraint from all parties involved. We urge students to remain peaceful and law-abiding, while also advocating for their rights and interests.
NANS is deeply concerned about the allegations of financial extortion, poor infrastructure, and administrative irregularities that may have contributed to the unrest. We recognize the gravity of these issues and their potential impact on students’ welfare and academic success.
Before taking a definitive stance, NANS will conduct a thorough investigation into the events leading up to the riot. This will involve consulting with student representatives, college management, and relevant stakeholders to gather accurate information.
Our primary objective is to ensure that justice is served, and the interests of Nigerian students are protected. We will work tirelessly to promote a peaceful resolution, advocate for students’ rights, and support efforts to address the underlying issues.
While we are confident that His Excellency Dr Nasir Idris (Kauran Gwandu) will take necessary majors when report gets to his desk.
Signed,
Comr. Adamu Ibrahim Dikko
Zonal Deputy Coordinator(NORTHWEST), NANS Zone A
