The NANS Zone B Directorate of Special Duties headed by her ebullient Director, Comrade Olisa, Alfred Nwuruku, has been relentless in her several efforts in making sure that the students under the coverage of the Zone do not get damned by the effects of the spreading pandemic of the time, being guided by the intelligence that the country is presently bereaved of fortunes.

Part of the efforts of the NANS Representative and his team, is the initiation of radio programs that would always feature the Students' leaders to discuss the plights of the students at this hard time.

As was earlier brought to your notice today, the radio program majorly for briefing which was scheduled for 5pm today at the Ebonyi State Broadcasting Corporation (EBBC), featuring Technical Assitant to the Governor on Students' Affairs, Comr. Odono Angel, The NANS Zone B Director of Special Duties, Comrade Olisa Alfred Nwuruku, NANS JCC Vice Chairman Ebonyi State -Comr. Nwite Oluchi, Ogbu Emmanuel (Immediate past SUG President, Ebonyi State University) and Comr. Njoku Francis Ogbonna Caesar (Immediate Past SUG President AE-FUNAI), was a huge success.

The Radio program which centered on the TOPIC "THE PLIGHT OF NIGERIAN STUDENTS IN CURBING COVID-19" actually captured several expositions revealing the supposed present condition of an average Nigerian Student who's possibly bedridden of fortunes by the threat of the time and also included several measures devised by the Students' leaders in helping the Students to pass through the scorches of the scourge, which measures include several strides geared towards requesting relief materials from the State Government and and other well meaning philanthropists from the start who truly understands the meaning of the time.

The Radio program shall be held again by next week Tuesday same time, and shall feature the five SUG Presidents in Ebonyi State in conjunction with NANS Zone B Directorate of Special Duties, we also enjoin you to tune in your radio timely to be part of this program.

While the NANS Representative sympathises with all the Students in the Zone who are adversely affected by the pandemic, he also encourages all the students who're constrained indoors to do harness this compulsory break especially in delving deep into studies, learning entrepreneurial skills, engaging on online learning platforms and queuing into other promising possibilities of life within the time frame while we collectively pray that the Pandemic short lives.

As it concerns the resumption of Academic Activities in the State and in the country at large, the NANS Representative has stressed on the indecisive indications surrounding this very possibility, responsibly caused by numerous untold factors. "No government be it State or Federal benefits from keeping her people at home, so we are sure that as long as it is feasible, we will resume”..He said.

There NANS Representative also advised Nigerian Students in the Zone to take active parts in the fight against the virus..“ The lockdown is not anyone's fault, so we must work together with the relevant authorities to ensure that the pandemic doesn't last including working together with the Ebonyi State Government's Committee on Covid 19 ably led by his Excellency, the students friendly Governor of Ebonyi State -Engr. Chief. Comrade. Dr David Nweze Umahi FNSE, FNATE”..He said.

Keep in touch with us for updates, as we prepare for the worst praying for the best to overcome at last!
