The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) expressed outrage over the deaths of two students at Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK) during a stampede caused by the distribution of palliatives.
NANS President, Comrade Lucky Emonefe, called for a “thorough investigation” into the incident.
“The tragic event at Nasarawa State University, Keffi, which resulted in the loss of two lives and numerous injuries, is vehemently condemned,” Emonefe said in a statement.
He offered condolences to the bereaved families and demanded that “those responsible for the mishandling of the distribution of palliatives be held accountable.”
NANS urged authorities to adopt “modern distribution methods” to prioritize safety during aid distribution.
They also called on the university to provide counseling and support services to the affected students.
