The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has criticised the Northern Youth Council for demanding the removal of the Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, over the death of Miss Mary Habila, insisting that an autopsy should be conducted to determine the actual cause of death.
NANS, in a statement by its National President, Akinteye Babatunde Afeez, said the decision to subject the deceased to a post-mortem examination should be respected as it would help establish the facts surrounding the incident.
The association said its role extends beyond students’ welfare advocacy, noting that it also has a responsibility to contribute to national issues, policy discussions and accountability in public institutions.
According to NANS, the death of a young Nigerian is a serious matter that should not be exploited by individuals or groups for personal interests, political motives or sentiments.
