NANS CONDEMN HONORARY DOCTORATE ON PRESIDENT BUHARI

By
TEXT OF PRESS STATEMENT ISSUED BY THE PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIAN STUDENTS (NANS) COMRADE TIJANI USMAN, ON THE FRAUDULENT AND DISGRACEFUL HONORARY DOCTORATE DEGREE CONFERRED ON PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI ON SATURDAY 12 DECEMBER, 2015. BY KADUNA STATE UNIVERSITY(KASU). 15 DECEMBER, 2015.

It is quite unfortunate that at a time we are clamoring for a overhaul and repositioning of our educational sector, our leaders are doing the opposite by their actions and inactions. 

The show of shame that took place in Kaduna State University (KASU) on 12 December, 2015, is capable of making foreign Universities and corporate organizations to further undermine and disregard degrees obtained from Nigerian schools.


We expect our leaders to be our role models by living exemplary life. How can one explain that, President Muhammadu Buhari who has not even cleared the air on his certificate saga, still went ahead to accept a fraudulent honorary degree from a university that is not authorized by National Universities Commission (NUC) to do so.

We make bold to state that, the honorary doctorate degree conferred on President Buhari is illegal and non sequitur because..

1) KASU is not among the 22 universities accredited by NUC to award honorary degree
 .
2) KASU was established 10 years ago, and has never graduated a PhD student.

3) Section 2.0 subsection (a) of the Council of VCs Keffi declaration 2012, prohibits the award of honorary degrees to persons holding political offices.

We therefore demand the following...

1) That President Muhammadu Buhari should honorably relinquish the fraudulent degree.

2) That NUC should with immediate effect sanction KASU for contravening its rules and regulations.

3) That Academic Staff Of Universities (ASUU) and Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) should sanction the entire management team of KASU for making a mockery of Nigerian universities.

4) That President Buhari should desist from procuring fraudulent degrees and focus on governance because, our country is faced with terrorism, economic hardship, religious crises and political tension.

Signed:

Comrade Tijani Usman.
President, National Association of Nigerian students. (NANS)

Comr. Oke Oluwaseun
Director of Programmes and Contacts, NANS(National)

AKWA IBOM CHILD RIGHTS LAW

By
The Akwa Ibom State Child Rights Law The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Obong Godswill Akpabio, on 5th December, 2008 signed the child rights act into law to protect the growth of perceptual, emotional, intellectual, and behavioural capabilities and functioning during childhood of Akwa Ibom children under 16 years.
