The National Association of Nigerian Students on Wednesday condemned a reported incident of assault at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, where a student physically attacked a lecturer over a TikTok recording.

In a statement issued in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, NANS Senate President, Babatunde Akinteye, reaffirmed the association’s commitment to advocating for students’ rights while upholding discipline, respect for authority, and adherence to institutional regulations.

He stressed that acts of violence and misconduct have no place in academic institutions nationwide, urging students to respect constituted authorities.

Akinteye stated, “NANS has always been at the forefront of advocating for students’ rights, academic freedom, and a conducive learning environment. However, we equally uphold discipline, respect for authority, and adherence to the laws governing our institutions. It is in this light that we strongly condemn the reported incident at UNIZIK, where a student physically assaulted a lecturer over a TikTok recording.”
