The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has announced the reinstatement of the suspended Students’ Union Government (SUG) President of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti, James Adio.
NANS President, Akinteye Babatunde, disclosed this in a post on X on Wednesday, following earlier indications that the university’s Senate would review Adio’s suspension after what he described as high-level engagement with the institution’s management.
“Finally, Comrade Adio, the FUOYE SUG President, has been officially reinstated,” Babatunde wrote.
NANS had earlier revealed that it secured the reinstatement of some previously suspended students after holding discussions with the university authorities.
According to the student body, the intervention came after sustained engagements with the institution’s management over disciplinary actions taken against some students.
Babatunde had said, “The University Senate will convene on Wednesday, 24 June 2026, to give Comrade James Adio fair consideration and the necessary support that will serve both the interest of justice and his academic pursuits going forward.”
He also noted that the affected students had been reinstated and permitted to sit for their examinations.
