National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has restated its commitment to revitalising campus security and students’ welfare across the federation.
Apparently reacting to media reports on its leadership and president’s inaugural speech, NANS president, Olusola Ladoja, described the report as misleading.
“NANS wishes to categorically repudiate, with utmost clarity and firmness, the mendacious and deliberately misleading report disseminated regarding the inauguration and inaugural address of the duly elected president of NANS, Comrade Olusola Ladoja.
“To begin with, the publication in question is a vile concoction, steeped in half-truths and malevolent distortions, and is nothing short of a disinformation campaign meticulously orchestrated to sow seeds of discord within the Nigerian students’ constituency and to impugn the integrity of our noble association.
“To this end, we state, without equivocation, that the content attributed to our president’s address is a blatant falsification.
“The address delivered by Comrade Olusola Ladoja which was witnessed by the entirety of our statutory stakeholders, dignitaries from relevant ministries and broadcast live by the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), was one anchored on hope, unity, pragmatic engagement and a clear roadmap towards revitalising campus security and students’ welfare across the federation,” he said.
According to him, a spurious rhetoric attributed to him exists only in the imaginations of those desperate to discredit “our emerging ideological shift away from sensationalism towards responsible activism.
“Moreover, we must stress for the umpteenth time that there is no factional leadership in NANS. The purported claim of a parallel president in the person of one Atiku Abubakar Isah is both laughable and a pitiable display of imposture.
“The said individual did not participate in the last convention that ushered in the new leadership of the organization. Thus, his continued parade as ‘President’ is a gross violation and impersonation which shall be met with the full weight of legal and moral consequence.”
