The National Association of Nigerian Students
(NANS) has given the South African
Government 72 hours to stop xenophobic
attacks on Nigerians and other Africans
resident in the country. NANS President Tijani
Usman conveyed the ultimatum during a
protest march by the association against such
attacks on Tuesday in Abuja.

NANS had on April 18, issued a seven-days
ultimatum to the South African Government to
end the attacks.

The students who had placards with the
inscriptions “Say no to Xenophobia’’;
“Xenophobia is Evil’’; “South Africa, Enough is
Enough’’, marched to the MTN office and the
South African High Commission both in
Maitama.

“The purpose of this protest is to register our
grievances and solidarise with our people in
South Africa because of the xenophobic
attacks; Africa is our own and we should not
be racists in our own continent.

“We condemn such acts and we call on
President Jacob Zuma of South Africa to
address this issue with immediate effect,
otherwise South Africans in Nigeria will not
find things easy here; we will make sure they
are deported back and we will shut all their
businesses. “This is a signal; we are giving
them 72 hours to stop all attacks; if they fail,
they will face the wrath of Nigerian
students.’’

Usman appealed to the United Nations to call
the South African Government to order, adding
that it seemed not to have taken any serious
action to address the problem. Also speaking,
Mr Nwankwo Ezekiel, the NANS Public Relations
Officer, told NAN that the protest was to
drive home the earlier ultimatum given to the
South African Government.

“In our statement earlier, we gave seven days
but today, we want to register our grievances
so that in the next three days, we will shut
down all South African investments in Nigeria,
if the attacks are not stopped,’’ he said. NAN
reports that it took the timely intervention of
a team of policemen led by the FCT
Commissioner of Police, Mr Wilson Inalegwu, to
quell the brewing tension at the MTN office as
some students were becoming unruly.

Inalegwu told NAN that that the students had
the right to protest but were expected to
conduct themselves properly. He said he had to
come down to the MTN office personally when
we received a report that the students were
trying to conduct themselves otherwise. “I
had to come here personally and I thank God
that their president was able to lead the
students out of the premises peacefully.

“We have deployments in other South African
establishments and I have spoken with their
president and I expect him to conduct himself
properly,’’ the commissioner said. The
students also took their protest to the South
African High Commission.
