The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has issued a stern warning to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), threatening to shut down any command that impounds its official vehicles. This comes after the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, directed FRSC officers to arrest and impound vehicles belonging to NANS structures.ยน
NANS has condemned the directive, calling it “disrespectful” and an “affront” to its structured movement. The association’s Clerk of the Senate, Oladimeji Uthman, stated that mobility is crucial to NANS’ activities, including advocacy, attending programs, and carrying out daily responsibilities.

Uthman warned that if any FRSC command implements the directive, NANS will mobilize its members and stage a massive protest to defend their rights. He emphasized that NANS will not tolerate any form of disrespect towards the organization.
Instead of confrontation, NANS has called on the FRSC to engage in constructive dialogue to address any concerns amicably. Uthman reiterated NANS’ commitment to protecting Nigerian students’ interests and upholding responsive and responsible leadership in its engagements with government agencies.
