The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has urged the students of the College of Health Sciences and Technology, Jega, Kebbi State, to remain calm and be law-abiding.
Malam Adamu Ibrahim Dikko, Zonal Deputy Coordinator (NORTHWEST), NANS Zone A, made the call in a statement made available to newsmen on Saturday.
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.
He said NANS was deeply concerned about the allegations of financial extortion, poor infrastructure, and administrative irregularities that may have contributed to the unrest.
” 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.
” We recognise 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.”
Dikko noted that the primary objective was to ensure that justice was served, and the interests of Nigerian students are protected.
He assured that the association would 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,” he said.
