ASEFON CONGRATULATES THE NEWLY ELECTED EXECUTIVES OF NANS AND APPRECIATES NIGERIAN STUDENTS

When I assumed office, one of the promises I made is to ensure that I leave NANS better than I met it.

We initiated electoral reforms and made them institutional. Let me congratulate the President-Elect of NANS, Comrade Usman Umar Barambu for earning the mandate of the Nigerian students in a very free and fair election. In the same vein, I congratulate Comrade Attah Felix for returning as the Senate President of NANS. Institutional reforms are the bedrock upon which transformational progress is built.

We reform the system through a constitutional amendment and made accreditation impossible for ineligible voters and for the first time in our recent history, we conducted a rancor-free election and not a single bullet was shot as against experiences of the past where hoodlums shoot guns at will.I also want to appreciate Nigerian students for the overwhelming support I was given. Nigerian students stood by me and we fought side by side all through our time in the trenches.

We won some, and we learned from others. I therefore on behalf of my team look forward to handing over to the new leadership whom I hope will build on the legacies we have elicited.

Unionism is like building a tower, some will lay the foundation, and others will build on it. We have built ours and history and posterity will accord us our deserving place.In the days ahead, I will meet with the new leadership to initiate immediately the process of transition and handing over.

We hope NANS will continue to improve institutionally under the new leadership led by Comrade Usman Umar Barambu and continue in the fight for the emancipation and improved welfare for Nigerian students while taking its rightful place in the nation’s polity.Congratulations and thank you all
