NANS hails aspirant for promoting students welfare

A statement by NANS presidential spokesman, Comr. Alao John, highlighted the aspirant’s commitment to educational support initiatives, which, according to him, had continued to open doors of opportunity for youths.

He said: “Fagbenro’s provision of free JAMB forms to indigent students has become a notable intervention aimed at reducing barriers to higher education and encouraging academic pursuit among youths.

“The payment of WAEC and NECO examination fees for students stands as a demonstration of his dedication to ensuring financial limitations do not hinder access to basic educational qualifications.”

He said Fagbenro’s interventions were not driven by political office, but by a genuine passion for youth development and empowerment, adding that Fagbenro had demonstrated that education remained a powerful tool for societal transformation and national development.

“In addition to his contributions to education, NANS also lauded his impactful infrastructural interventions within communities. His efforts in facilitating the provision of solar powered lighting systems have improved security and enhanced economic activities in  localities.

“His commitment to providing access to potable water has addressed critical needs within underserved communities, improving public health and overall quality of life.”

John said leadership must be defined by measurable impact, responsiveness and a genuine connection to the people, noting that the aspirant exemplified ‘’these qualities through a leadership style that prioritises service, inclusiveness and sustainable development.

“His interventions reflect a deep understanding of the challenges faced by students and communities, as well as a commitment to addressing them.”

He called on leaders to emulate Fagbenro by investing in initiatives that benefited students and contributed to national progress.
