The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to include student representatives in the newly established National Ebola Emergency Response Committee, saying such inclusion is critical to preventing the spread of the disease in tertiary institutions nationwide.
The student body said the participation of students would strengthen awareness campaigns and improve emergency response coordination across campuses.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by its National Public Relations Officer, Comrade Obidah David, NANS said Nigerian students form a significant portion of the population and are strategically positioned to drive grassroots sensitisation and public health education.
