NANS Praises Tinubu's Youth Policies and Supports Candidate

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) commended President Bola Tinubu's administration for its commitment to youth-focused policies aimed at expanding educational access and creating economic opportunities for young people across Nigeria. In a statement issued in Abuja on Friday, NANS highlighted the importance of student involvement in national development and recognized the federal government's efforts to improve opportunities for Nigerian youth.

The association appealed to the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to support Prof. Ochugudu's candidacy for the Cross River North senatorial district.

NANS emphasized that the youth remain critical stakeholders in nation-building and expressed alignment with individuals who share a commitment to youth development. The statement also noted that Prof.

Ochugudu has a history of supporting youth empowerment initiatives, including scholarship programs and mentorship. The appeal comes amid growing advocacy from youth groups for stronger representation and greater participation in Nigeria's political process as the 2027 general elections approach.
