NANS bans SUGs from conferring awards on individuals, groups, organisations

The National Association of Nigerian Students ( NANS) has banned confinement of awards by students’ union on groups, individuals, and organisations. This was the directive given by Comrade Danielson Bamidele, which was obtained by this newspaper through his media office.

The NANS President explained that such award conferment on organisations, groups and individuals had become a source of distraction for students, adding that the apex student body will reform all student unions towards improving the education system and welfare of members.

Danielson however vowed to live up to expectations of students by keeping his campaign promises including stopping the oppression and intimidation of students by school management and the government, as well as attracting local and international training for members.

This development is however not the first major step taken by the new President, recall that about two months after his inauguration, the NANS President ordered the immediate suspension of the planned protest by law students of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) over their qualification for admission into the Nigerian Law School.

Explaining why he called off the planned protest, Comrade Bamidele during an interview with newsmen on Saturday, August 25, 2018, said the protest called by the NANS Senate President, Bamigbade Taiwo did not follow due process.

He added that the mass action, which was conveyed in a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari did not have the backing and support of the National Association of Nigerian Students

Love life of Charles and Camilla

By Chukwudi Iwuchukwu To those who do not understand why I called the wife of the new king of England, King Charles, “Side Chick”, let me share their beautiful love story. The course of true love never runs smooth, and that was certainly the case for the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall. It took years for the British public to accept Camilla as Charles’ new girlfriend and then wife in 2005, following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. But over the decades, fans have warmed to the Duchess and credit her with supporting the future king and becoming his rock. As Charles and Camilla celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary last weekend, let’s take a look at their enduring love story, which started in the seventies… A chance meeting at a polo match in 1970 marked the beginning of Camilla Shand’s relationship with Prince Charles. The two – both aged 23 – began dating, but their romance cooled when the future King was called away on nav...
