He said that the extension became necessary considering the fact that most of the students who would be returning to school registered for their PVCs within the school environments. “NANS sees this call as imperative due to the just-suspended strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities. “Most Nigerian university students will be returning to the school environs where they registered for their PVCs to pick them up. “It is obvious that the duty towards promoting and protecting the country’s democracy lies in the hands of Nigerian students,’’ he stated. The NANS spokesperson noted that the National President of NANS, Bamidele Akpan, had directed that all students must play active roles in ensuring successful general elections.
