Expressing profound dismay, Comrade Akinteye Afeez emphasized the reprehensible nature of AAU’s action, stating that the compulsory requirement for 300-level Medicine and Surgery students to sign an agreement for an extended 18-month program was an affront to fairness and a grave injustice to the students involved.

NANS expressed unequivocal resentment towards the stringent undertaking, asserting that it not only imposed a financial burden on the students but also restricted their right to peaceful assembly and protest. The association raised concerns about administrative malfeasance and corruption surrounding the alleged admission of over 700 students into a program with a quoted capacity of 50 students, deeming it detrimental to the quality of education and placing undue pressure on the students.

The statement called on Ambrose Alli University to promptly review and rescind the compulsory undertaking imposed on the affected medical students. NANS urged the university to prioritize policies that enhance the welfare and academic progression of students rather than subjecting them to unjust and burdensome conditions.

NANS demanded transparency and accountability from the university authorities in addressing the reported issues and emphasized the fundamental right to peaceful assembly and protest in a democratic society. The association pledged solidarity with the affected students, committing to closely monitor the situation and take necessary actions to ensure justice prevails. NANS called on the university management to engage in constructive dialogue with student representatives to promptly address grievances and uphold principles of fairness, justice, and quality education.
