NANS president removed over alleged diversion of Covid-19 palliatives

THE President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Danielson Akpan was, yesterday, impeached for alleged financial impropriety. 

The decision to remove him was reached at an emergency meeting by the Senate arm of the association, which then issued a statement that read:

“Akpan abused his office by doing arbitrary and unlawful acts which are prejudicial to the rights of other members of the NANS all in violation of the Code of Conduct of an official of NANS as enshrined in Schedule 3 of the Constitution and Charter of Demand of NANS.

“The former NANS President was also indicted for having not been remorseful, despite being exposed that he had received the money as alleged but rather resorted to threatening the lives of members of the committee in an attempt to deter and intimidate them from carrying out their constitutionally mandated function and also threatened the life of the senate president Gambo Abu Mohammed.

“This committee recommended to senate that in exercise of the senate powers and functions encapsulated and vividly provided in Article 13 (a) of the constitution and charter of demand of NANS to remove the president, Danielson Bamidele Akpan from office and expel him from the Organization with immediate effect.”

A former vice-president, Chidi llogede, was immediately sworn in as the president of NANS while all the association’s property and funds in possession of Akpan are to be fully recovered.

Before his impeachment, Akpan who assumed office as NANS president in July 2018, had served beyond his tenure of 12 months, leading to complaints from other officials and stakeholders.
