PRESS RELEAESE:

26th November, 2017

OFFICE OF THE NANS ZONE 'A' COORDINATOR

The attention of the zonal Leadership National Association of Nigerian Students' (NANS Zone A) under the Leadership of Comrade Umar Farouk Lawal, has been drawn to the recent exploitation and corrupt activities of the Vice Chancellor and the management of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) Bauchi.

Recently, the zonal leadership gathered a lot of complain and petitions from UTME/JAMB applicants about current ongoing physical screening in the mentioned university. Therefore based on the facts and information found available by NANS, it discovered that:

•2000 naira were collected from All the UTME applicants that scores above 180 in the 2017 UTME. which more than 80%  were not invited for the physical, it was discover that the personnel responsible for conducting these exercise deliberately truncated the list of the applicants.

• Similarly the same incident happened to the Postgraduate students, they were asked to pay #10,000:00 for a non existing Seminar.

However, the Leadership of NANS Zone 'A' has in strong terms condemned and disagreed with such act of financial exploitation even in the middle of the nation Economy recession.

The zonal leadership condole with the students and management of ATBU over unfortunate incident of a student that hang himself last week. We call on the state security formation to investigate the sad incidence.

The stand of NANS remains firm, which is the welfare and well been of Nigerian students will not be compromised in any way.

Henceforth, NANS Zone 'A' passes a vote of no confidence on the V.C and the management of the university for their poor leadership and lackadaisical manner in handling the financial affairs of the university appropriately.

However, while condemning the leadership of the V.C and the management of the university, NANS also invites anti-graft agencies to probe the Vice Chancellor now otherwise the other way of resolving the conflict would be applied.

INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS A THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE ........... ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

AS NANS ULTIMATUM ENDS, SOUTH AFRICANS MUST LEAVE NIGERIA OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES

AS NANS ULTIMATUM ENDS, SOUTH AFRICANS
MUST LEAVE NIGERIA OR FACE THE
CONSEQUENCES

✅✔✅✔✅Campus Reporter Media✅✔✅✔✅

Being the text of a Press Conference by the
National Association of Nigerian Students
(NANS) led by Comrade Aruna Kadiri on
February 25, 2017 in Abuja.
In continuation of the firm resistance of the
National Association of Nigerian Students
(NANS) of the Xenophobic attacks in the
Republic of South Africa on our compatriots
and their business in their country and the
complicity of the South Africa authorities,
NANS demands the immediate return of all
South African Citizens in Nigeria as their safety
and that of their business interests can no
longer be guaranteed. We must make it clear
that what happened on Thursday February 23,
2017 when we held our sensitisation rally
against xenophobia is a mere child’s play. The
main action will start on Tuesday February 28,
2017 should the South Africa Nationals fail to
heed this generous advice.
Gentlemen of the press, you would recall that
we had issued an ultimatum two (2) days ago
advising South African Citizens to leave Nigeria.
IT IS NOT A JOKE! It is in their interest to keep
themselves and whatever businesses they may
have safe by leaving our country and go home
to cure their misguided, lazy and demented
citizens. Of course for us, no relationship
whatsoever exists between Nigeria and South
African beyond the official diplomatic
pretences.
One may argue that some actions were taken
by South African authorities yesterday against
those xenophobes. We are aware of that deceit
concocted to assuage the enraged civil
communities around the world.
NANS cannot be fooled and we would not back
down until there is an equal measure of
reactions. Nobody can mess with Nigerian
citizens anywhere in the world again without
hearing loudly and clearly from the Nigerian
Students. The Federal Government can remain
aloof, but the students will never! Enough is
enough!
We are now in intensive consultation with our
structures and campuses. And we can state
categorically that as from Tuesday February
28, 2017 the students will rid this great
country of South Africans and whatever
represents them or they represent. We are
determined to ensure that before next
weekend no South African South African
business will remain in Nigeria. We shall keep
both citizens and business that reject our
advice in “Safe Custody”
This is the position of the Nigerian Students at
home and in the Diaspora. Thank you ladies
and gentlemen!
Aluta Continua, Victoria Ascerta!
Comrade Aruna Kadiri
(National President, NANS)

Xenophobic attack: Students give MTN, DStv, others two days to leave Nigeria

The National Association of Nigerian Students has given all South African companies in Nigeria 48 hours to relocate over the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.

The students gave the ultimatum at a demonstration at some South African companies in Abuja on Thursday.

During the protest the students carried placards and a banner, which read, “NANS Against Xenophobic Attacks on Nigerians.’’

The President of NANS, Mr. Kadiri Aruna, said in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria at the office of DSTV, a South African company, in Wuse 2, Abuja, that Nigerian students had resolved to condemn the attacks.

“We are saying that enough is enough as South Africans have openly attacked and bullied Nigerians.’’

Aruna said that the protest would also serve as a warning to other countries trying to underrate Nigerians.

He said that after 48 hours, if nothing was done, messages would be sent to students in all university campuses to bring down MTN masts all over the country.

Aruna said that DSTV and Shoprite would also be affected as the union had put adequate strategies in place to make the action effective.

“All the South African business empires in Nigeria and their collaborators in Nigeria will be affected,” he said.

“I don’t want to say we will be barbaric but we will not be lawful in our actions, we will do it and face the consequences, enough of this rubbish.”

Aruna stressed that the poor treatment being meted out to Nigerians was particularly insulting given the role Nigeria played in ending the apartheid regime in South Africa.

“Nigeria contributed 80 per cent of the freedom the South Africans are enjoying today because we saved them from the jaws of apartheid.

“Who is South Africa to humiliate Nigeria? So they forget things so soon, let them go back to history and records to see how much financial assistance and what the country did to save them,’’ he said.

The union president said that the situation was inhuman and for this reason all reasonable Nigerians must react.

“In science they say you use malaria to cure malaria, now you use madness to cure their madness, and that is why we are advising them to leave Nigerian soil before 48 hours.’’

The NANS president called on the Federal Government not to wait until the dying minutes before evacuating Nigerians from South Africa.

“Government should take extra-diplomatic measures in dealing with the latest deadly assaults because if nothing drastic is done it will become a regular occurrence,” he said.

He said the current attacks occurred because the last time xenophobic attacks happened nothing was done, no action was taken and no arrest was made.
