The National Association of Nigerian Students(NANS) , has threatened to protest against the Nigerian Ports Authority(NPA) over allegation that the federal
government revenue generating agency failed to remit the sum of N165 billion to government’s coffers.
Asefon, who threatened to personally lead a protest to disrupt activities at NPA, if Koko is not sacked, said it was sad that this was happening when over 32 million Nigerian youths are jobless with over 41 million students having a bleak future due to gross mismanagement of resources. “We believed that should the resource be remitted or redirected to the funding of our tertiary institutions, it would have made a great impact and big difference on our schools.
“The corruption purge in the NPA will amount to mere political witch-hunt, political exercise, and fragrant display of political power if the Acting MD is not removed immediately and investigated. As the Executive Director in charge of Finance and Administration, he should be investigated alongside the erstwhile MD, as he is a natural suspect and accessory to the crime if the erstwhile MD is found culpable.
“NANS under my leadership will not fold its arms and do nothing while injustice and economic sabotage are reinforced. In the days ahead, our structures in the North Central and the South West will be mobilized to protest the continuing stay in the office of the Acting MD concurrently in the Federal Capital Territory and Lagos.
