Such story never makes a headline.Just saw it on nta news but check page 10 of punch newspaper for the photo gallery.

Its true, I watched it on NTA Network news last night, but I don't know which of the NANS is that one. I suspect it should be "News Agency of Nigerian Students"

No one should be fooled to beleive this. This goes beyond logic, the same student that are looking for how to get back to classroom that has being shut for 3 months will now award Yara dua. its propaganda from insane government

Most of these guys parading themselves as student leaders are professional students, opportunists, thugs, these student leaders are of the same specie with our corrupt leaders. There are many of them in the government an example is Hon Dino Melaye a Student Union leader during his days in ABU, Zaria we all know his role in Patricia Etteh saga in the National Assembly as the Chairman of house committee on information. Don't let us take them serious they are hungry.

This post can't be true. Although there are several factions of NANS. One of the factions still has Daniel Onjei as its leader. Daniel was a FUT Minna student then when he led the NANS around 99/2000. Can the guy be an undergraduate for 15 years considering the fact that he must have been in 300 level at least to contest for NANS leadership?
Moreso, there is a contrary news, see below:

Independence: NANS declares vote of no confidence in Yar’Adua
Adunola Fasuyi, Lagos - 02.10.2009

ANGERED by the Federal Government’s independence to their plight, Nigerian students, on Thursday, in Lagos, demanded the resignation of President Umaru Yar’Adua.


At a rally to conincide with the 49th independence anniverasy of the country, the students, under the aegis of National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and Education Rights Campaign (ERC), passed a vote of no confidence in his administration.


They accused him of ambivalence to the current strike by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), which had kept the students at home for more than four months.


The students, who converged at the Labour House, the headquaters of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Yaba, said, “While it (October 1) should be an occasion to celebrate, it is rather unfortunate that it is another time for the Yar’Adua administration, which cannot point to any achievement since it came to power in 2007, to assure the traumatised Nigerian workers, students and youths of the so-called magical formula of its 7-pointless agenda.”


They said it was shameful, degrading, dishonourable and an insult on them for the president to travel to Saudi Arabia to commission an education institution when his own education sector, from the primary level, to the university level had completely collapsed due to the government’s insensitivity to the plight of teachers, lecturers and students.


“In fact, President Yar’Adua only went to humiliate himself because the whole world, including the country he went to, are all aware of the pitiable state of Nigeria’s education industry,” they noted

The news quoted was culled from The Tribune of 01/10/2009.
