Benjamin Nworie in Abakaliki<\/p>\n
Stakeholders of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) in Ebonyi state have unanimously adopted Olisa Nwuruku as the sole candidate for the position of senate president of the association.
The decision was reached during a well-attended stakeholders\u2019 forum held at Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, which brought together past and present student leaders, Students\u2019 Union Government (SUG) presidents, zonal representatives, and other key actors within the student movement in Ebonyi.
According to a communiqu\u00e9 issued at the end of the meeting and signed by the Chairman of the forum, Okoro Joshua Offor, the endorsement followed extensive deliberations, consultations, and a comprehensive assessment of eligible aspirants from Ebonyi.
The forum noted that the adoption of Nwuruku was based on his \u201ccompetence, experience, capacity, and demonstrable commitment to the ideals and advancement of the Nigerian student movement\u201d.
Stakeholders highlighted his track record within NANS, describing him as a committed leader who has distinguished himself through effective mobilisation, strategic coordination, and selfless service.
They expressed confidence that his emergence would reposition the NANS Senate as a vibrant and functional legislative body capable of advancing the welfare and rights of Nigerian students.
\u201cThe forum is convinced that his leadership will herald a new era for the NANS Senate,\u201d the communiqu\u00e9 stated, adding that all student leaders and stakeholders across Ebonyi State have been urged to unite and support his candidacy.
The forum also commended the federal government for implementing the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), describing it as a critical intervention to expand access to higher education. It, however, called for sustained transparency and improvements to ensure the scheme\u2019s long-term effectiveness.
The motion for Nwuruku\u2019s adoption was moved by the SUG President of Ebonyi State University, Chika Abraham Nwuhuo, and seconded by Amarachi Cassandra Williams, who cited the candidate\u2019s potential to drive reforms and improve student welfare.
In his acceptance speech, Nwuruku thanked the stakeholders for the confidence reposed in him, describing the endorsement as a call to service he would not take for granted.
He pledged to reform, revive and restructure the NANS senate if elected, promising to promote peace, stability and institutional integrity within the student body.
Nwuruku also promised that his campaign and the electoral process would be free of crises, reiterating his commitment to a transparent and legitimate victory.
\u201cThis is a mission to liberate Nigerian students. I will represent your voices and ensure that the NANS senate becomes stronger and more effective,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
