OFFICE OF THE SPEAKER, STUDENTS’ UNION GOVERNMENT,
UNIVERSITY OF JOS.

DATE:MAY 15TH,2022.
TIME:12:53 AM

RE: Students Leaders Endorsed Dr. Nentawe for Plateau Guber. as published by the Sun News.*

In a discountenance to the above headlined news, the University of Jos Students’ Union Government, House of Parliament under the auspice of Rt. Hon. Nanshin Prosper Lakai, who is one of the top Students Leaders in the only Federal University in Plateau State – University of Jos which by extension is the most popular institution currently existing in Plateau State wishes to in totality declaim the so said assertion that Students Leaders in the various institution of learning in Plateau State under the aegis of Campus Leaders Network have endorsed any Aspirant for the gubernatorial seat of Plateau State.

In fact, every right thinking Student is currently feeling the bad effect of the ongoing strike and are nursing the possible ways to bring the seem unending strike to a halt so that they would continue with their academic journey driven at successful end.

The Speaker and Members of the University of Jos Students House of Parliament frown at the immoral act of the said body and have viewed only as an attempt by some elements who are currently not Students or Students with academic defects to have a draw of water from the straw of politicians to fill up their money thirst belly.

The Speaker and the Members of the University of Jos Students House Of Parliament are people with value for education and are always in support of courses that would promote education in Nigeria always.

We wish to state categorically that we as genuine students are always united by lecture hours and academic prosperity for the advancement of our society and not political activities with no concern for the current plight of the ‘great Nigerian Students’.

We are however by this press release not in any way trying to stop any Nigerian student in and out of our immediate constituency from supporting their candidate of choice but we the genuine student leaders have not in anyway met or agreed to endorse any candidate for Gubernatorial seat or otherwise.

The said fraud of a student leader’s network have only taken the course for self satisfaction and not speaking the minds of the vast majority of Nigerian Students schooling in the various tertiary institutions in Plateau State.

We stand against this action and we in totality condemn it and distance the entire Students and Members of the University of Jos community from the said selfish and uncultured act.

In reiteration the press conference is never a reflection of any genuine Student – we are determined at only drawing the attention of the government to immediately take the necessary action call off the ongoing ASUU strike that is currently at it’s third month and a newer extension by twelve weeks announced recently by the academic union.

We shall continue to implore Students to disregard and treat your unsolicited movement as illegal to the Students body.
