*NANS APPEALS TO MADONNA UNIVERSITY TO PARDON VIRAL GEN Z NURSING STUDENTS*
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has appealed to the management of Madonna University to reconsider the expulsion of some nursing students over their involvement in a trending social media video recorded within a hospital environment.
In a statement signed by Dist. Comr. Akinteye Babatunde Afeez, GCNS, President of NANS, the students’ conduct was described as inappropriate and inconsistent with the standards expected of nursing students.

‘Temper justice with mercy’ – NANS appeals to Madonna University to pardon viral Gen Z nursing students
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has appealed to the management of Madonna University to reconsider the expulsion of some nursing students over their involvement in a trending social media video recorded within a hospital environment.
In a statement signed by Dist. Comr. Akinteye Babatunde Afeez, GCNS, President of NANS, the students’ conduct was described as inappropriate and inconsistent with the standards expected of nursing students.
NANS, however, urged the university to temper justice with mercy and replace the expulsion with a stern warning.
The statement read, “No doubt, such conduct is grossly inappropriate and does not align with the ethics, discipline and professional standards expected of students of Nursing.
“However, we humbly appeal to the Management of Madonna University, a reputable institution with a long-standing commitment to academic excellence and character formation, to temper justice with mercy and reconsider the severity of the punishment imposed on these students.”
The students’ union body said expulsion was a grave punishment that could have long-term consequences for the affected students.
“Expulsion is, by far, a grave punishment. Beyond the immediate academic consequences, it can fundamentally alter the course of a young person’s life,” NANS said.
“These students have invested years of their lives, resources and hopes in pursuing a professional career in Nursing. An expulsion
at this stage could have a lasting toll on their academics, their future careers and their mental and emotional wellbeing.”
NANS said the students should instead be given an opportunity to learn from their actions and continue their education.
The association added that the students had recognised the gravity of their actions and regretted the misconduct.
NANS further appealed to the university management to consider the students’ future before reaching a final decision.
NANS expressed optimism that Madonna University would consider the appeal, while reaffirming its commitment to discipline and responsible conduct among Nigerian students.

The University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has commenced the process of applying NELFUND institutional loan funds toward beneficiaries’ school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session.

*RIVERS ASSEMBLY ORDERS ARREST OF PAMO VARSITY VC OVER BILLIONS OF NAIRA SCHOLARSHIP FUND*
The Rivers State House of Assembly has ordered the arrest of the Vice-Chancellor of PAMO University of Medical Sciences, Port Harcourt, over scholarship funds disbursed to the institution by the state government, running into several billion naira.
The Assembly said the arrest order became necessary because the institution’s VC failed to honour the invitation of the Ad Hoc House Committee investigating the disbursement of funds to the university by the state government since 2017.
Also, the Assembly urged the Rivers State Government to set up a committee to recover all unaccounted funds in the possession of PAMO University and deposit them in the state’s Consolidated Revenue Account.
Recall that the House had last week extended the deadline for the VC to appear before the committee, headed by the House Deputy Speaker, Dumle Maol, on Thursday, September 24, 2026.
The Assembly’s order was made during a plenary session on Friday presided over by the Speaker, Martin Amaewhule.
A statement issued by the Special Assistant on Media to the Speaker, Martins Wachukwu, on Friday said the House deliberated on the report of the Ad Hoc Committee probing the scholarship funds disbursed to the university.
The statement reads, “Rivers State House of House
deliberating on the report of its Ad Hoc Committee on the investigation of scholarship funds to PAMO University of Medical Sciences, which was presented by the Chairman of the Committee, Rt. Hon. Dumle Maol, the Rivers State House of Assembly, on Friday, at the 53rd Legislative Sitting, resolved to issue a warrant of arrest for the Vice-Chancellor of PAMO University of Medical Sciences in line with the recommendation of the Committee.
“The House among other recommendations also urged the State Government to set up a committee to recover all unaccounted funds in possession of the PAMO University and deposit them in the Consolidated Revenue Account of the State.
“The House resolution came amidst the refusal of the PAMO University VC to appear before the Ad hoc Committee after several invitations, to explain how money given to the university under the scholarship scheme was expended.
“The Ad hoc Committee Report chronicled how the university received over 29 billion Naira from the State government with no corresponding student enrolment, giving credence to the reason behind the Vice Chancellor’s refusal to honour the invitations.
“Commenting on the Report, the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Martin Chike Amaewhule said that though the intentions of the government in entering into the scholarship scheme agreement were good, the implementation was a cog in the plan.”
“Rt. Hon Amaewhule frowned at the situation where documents presented by the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Education, and the Office of the Accountant-General were at variance; adding that by simple deduction, out of the over 29 billion Naira released by the State Government to PAMO University, it merely utilised only 5 billion Naira.
“The Speaker harped on the determination of the Assembly under his leadership to do the right thing irrespective of whose ox is gored.”
Amaewhule,. according to the statement emphasized that ‘no individual can be bigger than the House as an institution empowered by the Constitution’.
PAMO University is owned by former Rivers State governor, Dr Peter Odili, who doubles as the Pro-Chancellor.
