The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has elected a 45- year old man, Sunday Asefon, as its new President amidst chaos and violence that characterised its convention at the old parade ground, Abuja on Thursday.
Asefon, a civil servant with the Ekiti State Government, got 155 votes to defeat his closest rival, Olushola Oladoja, who scored 100 votes.
However, the 45-year old, reported to be a student of Ekiti State University, replaces Bamidele Akpan.
The election was, on Thursday, disrupted by violence.
