The President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has announced plans for a nationwide protest targeting South African-linked businesses operating in Nigeria, citing what he described as South Africa’s treatment of Nigeria and its citizens.
Speaking on the planned action, the student leader said the association would mobilise students across the country to demonstrate against the companies, including MTN and MultiChoice. He also called on Nigerians to close their accounts with Stanbic IBTC Bank.
“We are going to shut down MTN and MultiChoice. We will force Nigerians to close their accounts with Stanbic IBTC Bank,” the NANS President said.
According to him, the planned protest is intended to put pressure on South African-affiliated companies in Nigeria while drawing attention to concerns over the treatment of Nigerians in South Africa.
He urged students and members of the public to support the planned demonstration.
Further details on the proposed nationwide protest are expected as developments unfold.
