The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has spoken out against the recent tragic deaths of students at various universities, stating that schools should be safe places, not scenes of violence.
The association, in a statement by the Universal President, Comrade Lucky Emonefe, on Monday, said such killings posed threats to education and the safety of students on campuses.
“The unfortunate murders of James Michael Anajuwe and Musa Hussein, both students of Confluence University of Science and Technology, CUSTECH, Lokoja, Kogi State, are tragic events that pose a threat to education. We are concerned that incidents like these continue to instill fear in students who are eager to pursue their studies for the sole purpose of developing the society.

“Another distressing incident is the death of Miss Favour Ugwuka, a final year student of Ebonyi State University, who reportedly committed suicide on Wednesday, 22nd May due to pressure from a lecturer who repeatedly failed her in his course. While denouncing suicide as an unacceptable response to challenges, NANS condemned the lecturer's actions and called for a prompt investigation to prevent similar tragedies.
The association also demanded justice for Alex, a student from Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo, who was allegedly killed by fellow students on May 25th over accusations of phone theft.
