NANS Zone A Withdraws from Planned Protest at North West University

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Zone A has announced its withdrawal from a planned peaceful demonstration against the recent school fee hike at North West University in Kano. In a statement released on June 22, 2025, the association cited the politicization of the protest by individuals and groups with conflicting interests as the reason for this decision.

The decision comes amid a broader context of student protests and advocacy for affordable and accessible education in Nigeria. The government has been working to address these concerns, with initiatives such as student loan funds and interventions in tertiary institutions.
