“On behalf of the entire Nigerian Students both at home and in the Diaspora, I humbly and most respectfully thank the senate officers of NANS and the entire Senators (SUG Presidents) for the confidence reposed on me to lead the great students of Nigeria in a time like this when the hopes of the students are hanging on a gallow.
“It is no news that Nigerian Students are tired of staying at home following the outbreak of the COVID-19 and the prolonged strike by ASUU. I will work together with the NAUS, NAPS, NANCES and all state students associations, we will immediately have an interface with ASUU and Federal Government to immediately end the Strike so that students can return to their classrooms.
“I deeply feel the pains and sufferings of the students who are wondering and thinking of where they will get the money to pay their school/hostel fees and renew their house rents.
“Also, my heart goes out to the students whom overtime have been pushed to the wall and continuously brutalized by men of the NPF, hence, I lend my voice to call on the NPF high command to as a matter of urgency reform the force to build public confidence.
“I passionately assure Nigerian students that the days of commercialization of students’ struggles are over and I am committed to the quick transition of power to Zone D without waste of time.
