NANS Passes Vote Of Confidence On Shekarau The National Association Of Nigerian Students( NANS) has passed a vote of confidence on the Minister Of Education Ibrahim Shekarau just as it revealed that Comrade Tijani Usman Shehu is not a registered student of any university and so can’t be the president of NANS. This is against the backdrop of the ultimatum issued yesterday by the factional NANS leader Comrade Tijani Usman Shehu that the student body has declared war against Shekarau and has called on President Goodluck Jonathan to immediately sack the minister over what it alleged as his dishonorable actions. Addressing a press conference on Wednesday in Abuja, President of NANS ,Comrade Ali Wali passed a vote of confidence on the education minister who upon his emergence resolved the lingering ASUP strike in a matter of weeks He said ” We are proud to say that President Goodluck Jonathan has once again placed a round peg in a round hole by appointing Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau as Minister of Education Comrade Wali also stated that in the bid to rid the students body of its extreme partisan stance,NANS has set up a screening Commitee to sanitize the organisation and rid it of unscrupulous dissidents who have converted this association which was once the Nigerian student pride into a full time business that is run by a fully non student cabal “This same cabal that has hijacked the machinery of NANS today have a 45 year old man, one Mr Tijani Usman as its figure head. Mr Usman Tijani in some instances claims to be a student of Ahmadu Bello University Zaria and at other occasions claims to be a student of Nuhu Bamali Polytechnic Kaduna. Either way we say without fear or favour,affection or ill will that he is neither a student not graduate of any institution known to us.” “We assure Nigerian Students that we shall sanitize this organisation no matter what the cost may be. We will pay the price. On this note we urge the management of Sheraton Hotel to quickly take preventive measures to call off any function of NANS slated to hold at their premises as they may have themselves to blame should there be a breakdown of law and order.” The student Body also appealed to President Jonathan to be wary of his senior special assistant on students and youths Jude Imagwe was never a president of NANS as he speculates. “The students protest ( OAU Ife) was not completely intended to embarrass the President but to inform him that his special adviser does not have the kind of Control over students as he claims.The Special adviser is today sponsoring Nr Usman Tijani whi we earlier said is a 45 years old man who is not a student to blackmail the minister of information.” NANS also condemned in totality the activities of Boko Haram especially the most recent killings and bomb blasts in Kano, Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states and sympathized with tye families of those killed and injured in the cause of this unfortunate incident at the same time urging the Federal government to intensify efforts to end this insurgency at the earliest time possible.
