The leadership of the National Association of Nigeria Students (NANS), Ekiti state chapter has condemned the difficulty experienced by Ekiti people in the course of updating their SIM status.
Chairman of the education body Suraj Opeyemi Musa made this disclosure in an exclusive interview with our correspondent in Ado Ekiti, the state capital on Tuesday, December 1, 2015.
Opeyemi Musa, the students’ leader
He said: “For an effective update of sim card, NANS expects the social subscriber (MTN) to decentralize their registration points instead of the psychological and humanly insult from the MTN officials.”
While calling on the authority of the social subscribers in Ekiti to regulate the conduct of their officials in building strong partnership for their business, the students’ body threatened to close down the MTN outlets in the state if they could not see changes.
Commenting on the prolonged fuel scarcity across the country, Musa expressed dissatisfaction on the state of fuel scarcity across Nigeria and said it has caused serious socio- educational tension in all daily activities of students .
“The scarcity of fuel in this change agenda is becoming a great display of administrative cluelessness as the sales of fuel are against N87 official pump price,” he explained.
He called on the federal government to intervene with the view to finding lasting solutions to the lingering crisis crippling the nation’s economy.
Reacting to the composition of the federal executive which has no youth representative, the student’s leader said it was a foundation of leadership failure.
He challenge the federal government under the ‘change agenda’ to visit the total neglect of Nigerian youths in the government, despite the success recorded in the human and capital developmental initiatives to advance all sectors of the economy.
“It would be recalled that the contributions of Nigerian youth to the emergence of All Progressives Congress (APC) at the centre government cannot be underestimated during and after the 2015 Presidential campaign, with the hope that APC government would embrace better youth initiatives compared to the experience of the past across the country.
“In furtherance to this, Nigerians are waiting for pragmatic policies and programmes of national concern from the central government to realize the potentials in the youth as future scientists, technologists, analysts, journalists and so on,” Musa said.
On EFCC, ICPC and corruption, Musa said: “the acts regulating the ICPC and EFCC should be more defined and redefined as corrupt institutions cannot be effective in fighting corrupt officials.
He said: “NANS support for the ‘fight against corruption’ is beyond ICPC financial annual coverage. As youth, the corporate social responsibility for an average Nigerian is to make peace, seek for peace, harmonize peace and be peaceful to realize a better Nigeria of our dream.”
The students’ leader therefore called for the decentralization of the campaign against corruption to the 36 states and grassroot level.
On security in all campuses across the country, Musa opined that, “at this time of global inequalities, security of lives and properties must be designed alongside campus networking.”
