The President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has announced plans for a nationwide protest targeting South African-owned businesses in Nigeria.
The student body warned it may disrupt the operations of MTN and MultiChoice, while also urging Nigerians to close their accounts with Stanbic IBTC Bank.
According to the NANS leadership, the planned demonstration is a response to perceived mistreatment of Nigeria and its citizens by South Africa. The association stated it is prepared to mobilize students across the country to ensure the protest is effectively executed.
“We are going to shut down MTN and MultiChoice. We will force Nigerians to close their accounts with Stanbic IBTC Bank,” the NANS President declared.
He maintained that the protest is aimed at putting pressure on South African-linked companies operating in Nigeria, calling on students and members of the public to support the action.
Further details on the planned nationwide protest are expected as the situation develops.
