The National Association of Nigeria Students, NANS has opposed the proposed cultural exchange programme between Nigerian and South African youths to address xenophobic attacks on Nigerians and promote unity between the two countries.
NANS’ President, Danielson Akpan said this shortly after a closed door meeting and a news briefing by Acting High Commissioner of South Africa to Nigeria, Bobby Moroe in Abuja. The briefing was on cultural exchange programme between Nigeria and South Africa to foster unity between the two countries.
Akpan said that the suggested exchange programme by the South African High Commission and the Federal Government for youths and students’ body would not work in view of the prevailing situation in South Africa.He said attacks by South Africans on Nigerians and other nationals were unjustifiable and condemnable. He called for concerted efforts by both governments to tackle the situation
