Nigerian students’ association withdraws protest threat against NEMA

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has withdrawn its threat to protest against the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) after clearing the agency of allegations related to food distribution misconduct.

In a statement on Friday, NANS Senate President Akinteye Babatunde said the decision followed a thorough investigation, which found no evidence of wrongdoing by NEMA.

NANS had launched an inquiry after claims emerged that NEMA diverted 42,000 metric tons of food meant for various states. However, after meetings with NEMA’s Director-General, Mrs. Zubaida Umar, and reviewing documents, NANS concluded the allegations were unfounded.

“The food items were distributed as planned, with only a delay in Akwa Ibom State due to late payment for transportation. This should not be seen as misconduct,” Babatunde stated.

Following these findings, NANS retracted its protest plans, emphasizing the importance of basing actions on verified facts.

Babatunde also expressed concerns about possible interference with food items at the state level, noting that NANS would monitor such activities to ensure accountability.
