While the Association acknowledges the frustration of students and their right to peaceful assembly, it equally urges calm, restraint, and responsible conduct moving forward.


“We understand that the recent protest on campus resulted in damages to property. We acknowledge the passion and conviction that drove the protest, and we respect the right to peaceful assembly,” said Comrade Aliyu Omotayo Yusuf, Vice President, National Affairs of NAPS.


“However, we also recognize that some actions during the protest led to damage to the Polytechnic’s property. We appeal to all students who participated to take responsibility and contribute, in any way possible, to the repair and restoration efforts.”


NAPS maintains that dialogue and constructive engagement remain the best tools for demanding and achieving sustainable change. The Association is actively engaging with relevant authorities to ensure that long-term solutions are implemented to improve conditions on campus.


The Association further appeals to the school management to handle the situation with fairness, ensuring that no student is victimized unjustly while promoting a conducive environment for learning.


“Let us show that our advocacy is rooted in purpose and maturity. Our struggle must reflect responsibility and unity at all times,” Comrade Aliyu added.


NAPS assures all students that it will continue to represent their interest and work with all stakeholders to ensure student welfare remains a priority.
