NANS Petitions Nasarawa Assembly Over ₦5,000 Levy, SUG Election Suspension at NSUK
NANS has petitioned the Nasarawa State Assembly to address issues including the ₦5,000 levy and suspension of the SUG election at Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK).
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Zone C, has filed a petition with the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, drawing attention to pressing concerns regarding Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK).
In the petition addressed to the Speaker and Chairman of the House Committee on Education, NANS expressed disapproval of the ₦5,000 levy imposed on students for the 2024 Students Union Government (SUG) election and the suspension of the election itself.
NANS criticized the university's Vice Chancellor for implementing the levy without consulting stakeholders, adding that it places unnecessary financial strain on students amid challenging economic conditions. They also condemned the indefinite suspension of the SUG election, calling it a move that creates a leadership vacuum and stifles student representation.
The association urged the Assembly to intervene promptly to prevent potential unrest and instability on campus.
