On September 6, students from the University of Lagos (UNILAG) took to the streets in protest against the fee increases imposed by the university’s administration. The institution had recently raised the tuition fees from a previous amount of slightly over N19,000 to over N190,000.

NANS has also issued a call to all tertiary institutions and Unity Schools across the country to refrain from implementing further fee hikes. NANS pledged to mobilize its members nationwide to protest such fee adjustments.

Shasanya emphasized, “NULASS, as the foremost indigenous students’ body in Nigeria, will extend our unwavering support following the recent events at UNILAG, Akoka. We express our wholehearted support for the nationwide protest organized by NANS on September 13. We are fully committed to participating in the fight against the exorbitant tuition fee increases.”

He further stated, “Your pursuit of justice and fairness in education is entirely justified, and we believe that unity and determination will lead us to success.”

Additionally, Shasanya condemned the actions of police officers who were reported to have deployed tear gas canisters against the peaceful UNILAG student protesters on September 6.

He expressed, “We have closely monitored the regrettable stance taken by the UNILAG management, and we are deeply concerned about the conduct of the Nigeria Police Force towards Nigerian students. These were students who were peacefully demonstrating against the significant fee hikes proposed by UNILAG management.”

In the spirit of solidarity and activism, Shasanya affirmed, “We firmly believe that victory is assured when we stand united in our cause. Consequently, we will mobilize our members to actively participate in the solidarity movement.”

Shasanya concluded by emphasizing that the protests would persist until the UNILAG administration reevaluates and revises its substantial tuition fee increments, declaring, “We remain steadfast in our dedication to this just and essential battle for the rights of Nigerian students.”

Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.

“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.

He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”

Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.

He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.

In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
