In a bizarre twist that has left many student leaders bemused, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Joint Campus Council (JCC), Ondo State Axis, has issued a public disclaimer debunking claims that all SUG Presidents in the state recently convened for a one-day workshop, claims none of the supposed attendees seem to recall.
The confusion began after a publication attributed to a group known as NANS G4 surfaced online, alleging that it had organized an all-inclusive summit of SUG leaders across Ondo State. However, in a swift rebuttal, NANS JCC Ondo Axis, under the chairmanship of Comrade Adekanye Mayomi Adeboye (INEC), dismissed the claims as “untrue, deceptive, and politically motivated.”
“It must be placed on record that at no time did all SUG Presidents convene for any such summit,” the statement read. “The so-called G4 group has no constitutional mandate to represent the collective interest of Nigerian students in Ondo State.” Some SUG Presidents who reportedly “attended” the phantom summit expressed shock, with one joking, “If I had known, I would’ve dressed better for my imaginary appearance.”
While affirming its respect for ideological caucuses within the student movement, the JCC leadership stressed that such groups must operate within the bounds of truth and transparency. “Misinformation and media manipulation are dangerous to the soul of student unionism,” the statement warned. “We will not stand by while falsehood is peddled in the name of unity.”
According to Comr. INEC, this will be the final time the JCC will respond to what it described as “manufactured narratives” from groups seeking political relevance. “Should the misrepresentation persist, we will not hesitate to invoke disciplinary procedures within NANS’ constitutional framework,” he declared.
Despite the absurdity of the situation, the JCC remains committed to its “Unified and Redefined Era,” founded on a five-point mission of inclusiveness, security, unity, collective welfare, and real student empowerment across campuses.
