A statement from the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has sent dangerous signal to South African multinational corporations operating in Nigeria in reaction to alleged xenophobic attack on Nigerians in South Africa.
Comr. Danielson Akpan, NANS president, on Monday released a press statement to the media asking MTN, DSTV, GOtv, Shoprite and SPAR to relocate from Nigeria to their country, South Africa, pending when justice will be dispensed on the killing of Mrs Elizabeth Ndubuisi.
"Arising from an emergency executive meeting, the leadership of NANS have resolved that the only way to stop further killings of Nigerians in South Africa is to picket all business entities owned by South Africans in Nigeria. We call on all Nigerians to consciously withdraw from further patronage of the following South African businesses i.e, MTN, DSTV, GOtv, Shoprite and SPAR pending when justice is seen to have be done on the killing of Mrs Elizabeth Ndubuisi.
"Alternative network providers, such as Glo, Airtel should be used. While open markets can replace the Shoprite.
"Again, we use this medium to ask all South African business interests in Nigeria to relocate their businesses back to South Africa," the statement reads.
The students body further announced its decision to embark on a nationwide demonstration against South African-owned businesses in the country on ground that attack on Nigerians in South Africa is a threat on Nigeria's sovereignty.
"Nigeria has been brotherly enough to accommodate the thriving of South African businesses in our economy. No South African citizen or their businesses is under any threat or attack whatsoever in our nation.
"Therefore, any threat, injury or death to any Nigerian on south African soil is nothing but an affront on the sovereignty of our nation. It is now time to put a permanent stop to these provocations.
"To this end, we announce our decision to embark on massive picketing and protest against all South African businesses in Nigeria.
"All students structures in Nigeria are hereby directed to liase with the National Secretariat of NANS for guidelines and action plan on this mother of all struggles," declared NANS.
