The meeting equally appraised the popularity, manifestos, competency cum integrity and veracity of contestants from Polytechnic angle (NAPS FAMILY) running for various offices with key interest in *NANS PRESIDENCY* owing to the fact that NAPS family has never been opportuned to produce NANS President since over 38 years of existence of National Association of Nigeria Students NANS even with the proving record of active participation and sustainace of core value of student struggle in Polytechnic sector. (Autonomous Student Union with independent Goverment known as SUG are only obtainable in Polytechnic, monotechnic and colleges of Education and Technology deu to resistance ability of her students to uphold the core values and principles of unionism even in the face of intimidation and political victimization)
