The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has elected Comrade Abdulmajeed Oyeniyi as its National President.
This development comes just months after a faction in the association announced Sunday Asefon as its President amid chaos and violence that characterised its convention at the old parade ground, Abuja.
Asefon, a civil servant with the Ekiti State Government, got 155 votes to defeat his closest rival, Olushola Oladoja, who had 100 votes.
The Outgoing President of the Association, Comrade Danielson Bamidele Akpan, congratulated Oyeniyi in a statement released on Sunday.
The Chairman of the Convention, Petter Bassey Asuquo, announced the results in a statement.
The statement read, “The National leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS today elects new leadership. The election is the last phase of the national convention held between 24th and 27th June 2021.
“After a keenly contested election, the following were elected by the vast majority of the delegates who came across the country for the election. Comrade Abdulmajeed Oyeniyi was elected as the National President.
