NANS condemns protest against Tinubu govt
Guardian NigeriaJul 25, 2024 11:30 AM

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has condemned the proposed protest against President Bola Tinubu’s administration, scheduled for August 1, 2024.


NANS, in a circular signed by its President,
Comrade Lucky Emonefe, condemned the organisers of the protest for hiding their identity and urged Nigerian students to reject the lure to join the economic saboteurs.

“The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) found it necessary to address the pressing concerns and burning contemporary issues affecting our beloved country and, most importantly, the students community,” the circular read.

“Firstly, NANS acknowledges the significant hardship being experienced by citizens across Nigeria due to the implementation of recent reforms and policies by the government.


“These measures, though aimed at steering our nation towards sustainable development, have undoubtedly brought about economic challenges that have impacted every Nigerian household. We understand the frustrations and difficulties the citizens are facing. and we are deeply empathetic to the plight of all Nigerians.

“However, we must remain steadfast and patient. The transformation we all desire is not an overnight process. It requires collective resilience and perseverance. We are optimistic that in no distant future, the positive outcomes of these reforms will become evident. Citizens’ patience and understanding are vital during this period of adjustment.

“NANS also wishes to categorically distance Nigerian students from any protest against the government at this time. We have observed that certain individuals and groups are attempting to exploit the current economic situation to incite unrest. This is so evident in the fact that the organisers of the protests have chosen to hide their identities while making inflammatory statements that are capable of engendering chaos.

“They are simply ECONOMIC SABOTEURS because their aim is to add to the current economic realities facing Nigerians for selfish political gains. The over 40.1 million Nigerian students will not be cajoled into the grand conspiracy of this obscured individuals in the name of “Ending bad governance” if they themselves cannot pass a simple integrity test by revealing themselves and openly engaging us in open debates, rather than lurking around our campuses in an attempt to railroad the students constituency into execution of their hidden agenda.”

NANS stated that the students have enjoyed an uninterrupted academic calendar for over a year now, the organised labour, including the academic staff unions are all being engaged by the Federal government at different stages of dialogue to ensure that the uninterrupted streak in the academic pursuit is sustained.

The association added that it will not allow those with hidden agenda and identity to create artificial crises that would disrupt the academic pursuit as it believes in constructive dialogue and engagement as the best means to address its grievances.

“In this light, we want to express our profound appreciation to the government for the full commencement of the disbursement of the NELFUND students loan. This initiative in just about a year of this administration, is a testament to the government’s commitment to supporting education and ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder our academic pursuits,” NANS said.

“We are particularly pleased that the process has been streamlined, allowing eligible students to access loans without the need for intermediaries, thereby promoting transparency and efficiency.

“We would ensure that we allow the open channels of engagement with the government and hold them to task on their other policies to revive the economy and ameliorate the hardship in the land.”

NANS said it therefore calls on all Nigerian students to focus on their academic activities, adding that their education is their greatest asset, and it is crucial that they do not allow external distractions to derail their progress.

The association in the circular also called on Nigerian students to stay committed to their studies, and avoid being swayed by those who seek to use them for their own agendas.

It also called on parents to play an active role in guiding and monitoring their children as well as ensure that they remain focused on their academic goals and refrain from participating in any protest that might jeopardise their future or disrupt the peace and stability of Nigeria.

SEDC Act: Ohanaeze youths back Kalu’s call for suspension of agitations …C0NTINUE READING HERE >>>


Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has lauded the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Benjamin Kanu for sponsoring the newly signed Southeast Development Commission Bill, describing him as the new face of hope for the Igbo race.

The group urged the various agitating groups in the zone to stay action.

...CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING> >
In a statement made available to journalists on Thursday, the National President, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, who earlier eulogized President Bola Tinubu as a man of history, said the signing of the bill had justified the group’s support for Kalu.

Okwu, who said the Commission would accelerate development in the South East region, noted that “this is a landmark step since after the civil war, which will help in bringing rapid development to the South East.

“There is no doubt that the South East has the highest concentration of decayed infrastructure. So, this Commission will go a long way in transforming the level of infrastructure in the zone.”

According to Okwu, “we recall that during the inauguration of the current National Assembly, we stood solidly behind Rt Hon Benjamin Kalu to emerge as the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives. We saw in him what some others could not see.

“Today, we have been vindicated with the historic signing of this bill, which he sponsored. The SEDC Act is undoubtedly the best thing to have come the way of Ndigbo since the civil war ended 54 years ago.


“We can’t thank the Deputy Speaker less for his foresight, for pushing through what other lawmakers from the zone could not achieve tens of years ago.”

The Igbo group then asked their kinsmen to heed to Kalu’s appeal for an end to every form of agitation in the region.

This comes as Kalu at a press conference on Wednesday, called on his Igbo kinsmen to stop agitation.

Okwu, who said the call was in order, noted that the current federal government, having taken the first major step towards addressing cries of marginalization in the zone, there was no longer any need for any form of agitation or protest in the region.

“We want to reiterate our call that no Igbo man should participate in the planned nationwide protest.

“In line with the call by Igbo leader, Rt Hon Benjamin Kalu, we also advocate that every form of protest and agitation should end forthwith.

“This is as the bill will address the key issues of concern to Ndigbo, as it centres on the reconstruction and rehabilitation of roads, houses and other infrastructural damage suffered by the region as a result of the effect of the civil war after 54 years.

“We, therefore, call on all Ndigbo to key behind the Rt Hon Benjamin Kanu, the new face of hope for the Igbo race, as we are sure of having our demands met through him under the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Okwu further stated.

‘South West States No Go Areas For Protesters’

France
Ahead of the August 1, 2024, planned protest, traditional Oro worshippers in the southwest, in conjunction with all members of the Yoruba Patriots Movement (YPM), have declared the six states in the region no-go areas for prospective protesters.


The group in a statement yesterday said it would occupy every space of the southwest from July 28 to August 28, 2024 to perform traditional rites in Oro in this year’s Oro Festival.


According to them, “The streets in Lagos, Ogun Oyo, Osun, Ekiti and Ondo States are no go areas for protesters.

“Go to your states to protest against your state governor if you are not happy with him “,


It explained that during the period, “No strangers are allowed to roam around the streets without express permission of traditional rulers in southwest cities, talk less of staging any form of street protests of any kind.

“We are not saying you should hold a protest against any government. You have the constitutional right, but respect our own cultural rights. You may go to Abuja, Kaduna, Yola, Jos, Enugu, Port-Harcourt, Owerri, Benin city, Sokoto, Yola or Maiduguri.

“The southwest leadership are reflecting on #EndSARS protest in Lagos whereby multibillions naira manufacturing industries, factories and businesses were put on fire and destroyed by hired idiots but the “Computer Village” was spared, not touched.

“Where would those who lost their jobs to the burnt factories, industries and businesses during the protest start from?

“Do you know Shoprite Stores at Lekki, Adeniran Ogunsanya, Awoyaya were completely looted and burnt in the wake of the #EndSARS protest but Computer Village was spared from the attack and none of the luxurious buses at Yaba and Jibowu, traveling to the Eastern region was destroyed, “, the group said

Planned Protest: Foreigners arrive Kaduna from neighboring countries – Group raises alarm
7 hours ago0 6,194 3 minutes read

A Group, Middle Belt Forum (MBF), Kaduna state, has alleged that reports reaching the executive has indicated that foreigners from northern neighboring countries had already arrived in Kaduna State ready to join the demonstration and make it violent.

The group however, kicked against the move, saying it will jeopardize the safety of the event and compromise the message of the demonstration, according to the communique of the forum’s second executive meeting made available to newsmen Wednesday in Kaduna.

According to them, “While the Kaduna State Chapter of the MBF acknowledges that peaceful demonstration is legitimate and necessary over the current hardships faced in the country and the need to draw government attention, the involvement of violent sponsored foreigners has raised genuine security concerns to the Chapter.

“Consequently, the forum advised all our youth from the Middle Belt resident in Kaduna State to refrain from participating in the protest not only over security and safety concerns, but not to be used to achieve the curious objectives of the sponsors. Our youths, known for their orderliness, civility, and discipline, must not be associated with inappropriate acts.

“The security situation has been reported to the national president of the MBF, Dr. Bitrus Pogu, who is currently gathering feedbacks from other states of the Middle Belt before issuing an official position on behalf of the entire Middle Belters.

Earlier, the communiqué signed Yusuf Solomon Danbaki,
Public Relations Officer (PRO), Kaduna State Chapter, MBF, stated that the meeting was chaired by Chairman of MBF, Kaduna State Chapter, Comrade Luka Binniyat, who relayed the congratulatory and goodwill messages of the President of the MBF, Dr. Bitrus Pogu, to the newly elected exco of the Kaduna State Chapter.

“The Middle Belt Forum (MBF), Kaduna Chapter held its 2nd executive meeting yesterday in Kaduna. The meeting was chaired by Comrade Luka Binniyat, Chairman of MBF, Kaduna State Chapter.

“Binniyat relayed the congratulatory and goodwill messages of the President of the MBF, Dr. Bitrus Pogu, to the newly elected exco of the Kaduna State Chapter.

“According to him, Dr. Pogu regards the Kaduna State chapter as very critical in the scheme of the MBF, bearing in mind its strategic location in Nigeria and its cosmopolitan nature that accommodates a huge array of Middle Belters.

“A key item on the agenda was the outreach to over 40 ethnic nationalities represented in various socio-cultural ethnic groups from the 14 Middle Belt States resident in Kaduna State and other 57 ethnic nationalities indigenous to Southern Kaduna, which make up the MBF, Kaduna State branch.

“The meeting, which was attended by 22 out of the 27 exco members, agreed that it was time members of the Middle Belt resident in Kaduna State unite as a common front in the interest of their wellbeing, the progress and development of Kaduna State, and Nigeria as a whole.

“With the permission of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the MBF, Barrister Catherine Doosuur Ishu from Benue State was nominated to serve as the Legal Adviser of the MBF, Kaduna State Chapter.

“There was also an initiative for an upcoming Middle Belt Cultural Festival for Middle Belters resident in Kaduna State, for which a committee was set up to kick-start the process.

“It is headed by the Organising Secretary of the Chapter, Hon. Ezekiel Babakarik. The aim is simply to celebrate the region’s rich cultural diversity, taking a break from lamenting the adversity that the Middle Belt has been plunged into for years now.

“During the meeting, concerns were raised about the planned peaceful protest scheduled for August 1st – 10th, 2024. Reports reaching the exco indicated that foreigners from northern neighboring countries had already arrived in Kaduna State ready to join the demonstration and make it violent.

“If so, that will jeopardize the safety of the event and compromise the message of the demonstration. While the Kaduna State Chapter of the MBF acknowledges that peaceful demonstration is legitimate and necessary over the current hardships faced in the country and the need to draw government attention, the involvement of violent sponsored foreigners has raised genuine security concerns to the Chapter.
