The National Association of Nigerian
Students, NANS, has set aside three days of prayers for the quick
recovery and early return to Nigeria of President Muhammadu Buhari, a
statement by Chinonso Obasi, the organisations president said.
Nigerian students would within the three
days starting from Wednesday February 8, 2017 join other patriotic
citizens to intercede on behalf of the President, who has been on
extended medical vacation in the United Kingdom.
“As leaders of tomorrow and champions of
a better Nigeria, we should not be left out in the national call for
prayers for the President, especially now that his presence is direly
needed for the country to navigate its way out of economic recession and
political despair,” the NANS leader said in an e-mailed statement to The Trent on Monday, March 5, 2017.
“We therefore enjoin every student in
Nigeria’s tertiary institution to join their hearts in prayer to God to
heal our President, because we believe that the prayers of 40 million
Nigerian students would bring quick recovery and rejuvenation of
President Buhari.
“It is our belief also that the early
return of Mr. President to the country after he must have well rested
would increase the tempo of the anti-corruption battle which is the
cornerstone of his mandate.
“As NANS has elected to take up the
challenge of whistle blowing to assist in the fight against
institutional and official corruption, our hearts go out to God in
prayer for the captain of the anti-corruption armada, President
Muhammadu Buhari.
“We expect that when the President
returns, the battle against graft would get into full throttle and
branch in academic institutions where the cancer has eaten deep,
threatening the destiny of millions of Nigerian students.
“Christian and Muslim students are
expected to round off the prayers during the Friday Jumat prayers and
Sunday services nationwide,” the statement ended.
