Ogun State Student Groups Reject Participation in #EndBadGovernance Protest
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and the National Association of Ogun State Students (NAOSS) have announced that they will not participate in the planned nationwide protest against hunger and poor governance. The protest, known as #EndBadGovernance, is scheduled to take place across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory from August 1 to 10. During a rally in Abeokuta, the students expressed concerns that the protest could be hijacked by hoodlums, leading to chaos and disruption of the country’s peace.
Speaking at the rally, Thomas Kehinde, the National President of NAOSS, urged students to avoid participating in the nationwide protests. He emphasized that while the organizers are mobilizing to protest economic hardships, the student community in Ogun State will not be involved. Kehinde highlighted that although the protests are intended to be peaceful, there is a risk of them being taken over by criminal elements, resulting in looting, robbery, and vandalism of both public and private property, as well as targeted attacks.
Kehinde recalled the negative experiences of the EndSARS protests, warning that similar violence and destruction could occur. He urged students in Ogun State to stay away from the protests to avoid a repeat of the chaos and alleged killings that accompanied the EndSARS movement. The leadership of student associations in Ogun State, dedicated to serving the interests of students, emphasized their commitment to non-violent advocacy and called on students to trust in their leaders to champion their welfare without resorting to potentially violent activities.
