The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has denied involvement in a planned protest against the recent fuel price hike scheduled for September 15, 2024. NANS leadership emphasized its commitment to peaceful dialogue and disapproved of any actions that could lead to civil unrest or disrupt public order. In a statement by NANS Senate President Afeez Akinteye, the association urged the public to ignore false reports suggesting its involvement in the protest. NANS called for security agencies to investigate the origin of the misinformation, reiterating its dedication to peaceful advocacy for Nigerian students’ welfare. The statement followed earlier claims by another NANS faction supporting the protest.
