NANS hails Tinubu for appointing Governing Councils of tertiary institutions

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has commended President Bola Tinubu for appointing “incorruptible team of thoroughbred administrators into Governing Councils of tertiary institutions.”

The apex students’ body noted that this would help fasten the development in our ivory towers after the recent introduction of student loan for Nigerian students.

In a statement by its President, Comrade Pedro Chibuzor, NANS said: “Nigerian students are immensely grateful to President Tinubu for taking prompt action to appoint worthy academicians, technocrats, experienced politicians into the councils which they believe have the potentials to help fast-track the rapid development of Nigerian academic institutions.

“We the Nigerian students, therefore, commend President Bola Tinubu for his love and concern about the transformation of academic institutions through this sound appointment of an incorruptible team of thoroughbred administrators to help fasten the development in our ivory towers after the recent introduction of student loan for Nigerian students.”

The statement said that the President by the appointment of about two hundred academicians with about 100 professors/PhD into the university, polytechnic and colleges of education councils along with other technocrats and politicians appointed brought a Renewed Hope to the development agitations of Nigerian students unlike past presidents appointments that have few academicians in the council.

While congratulating the governing council members and its chairmen on their appointment, NANS appealed to the council members to stand for justice and not encourage victimisation of students by institutions management.
