The Joint Campus Committee (JCC) of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has distanced itself from recent calls for the reversal of the sack of vice chancellors of the 13 federal universities by NANS President, Tijjani Usman.

A statement from the chairman of JCC, Bauchi/Gombe axis, Sulaiman Umar Chinade, said Usman’s action was politically motivated and an invitation to chaos, which was not in tandem with the wishes of Nigerian students.

The students said the status of the NANS president “is questionable as there is no evidence to validate his claim that he’s a student of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, as he claimed.”

The JCI urged the vice chancellors of the 13 universities to disregard the NANS president “antics and view it as nothing but a blackmail to curry pecuniary favours from them.”

The students also urged the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, to disregard Tijjani’s “blackmail and focus on his statutory responsibilities of making our education sector better.”
