The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has congratulated Hon. Ayo Hulayat M. Omidiran on her appointment as the Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), describing it as well-deserved.
This is contained in a Saturday statement signed by National Public Relations Officer, Comrade Samson Ajasa Adeyemi.
According to the statement, Omidiran’s appointment is a testament to her decades of unwavering commitment to public service, inclusive governance, and the promotion of equity across Nigeria’s socio-political landscape.
The national student body noted that Omidiran’s inspiring journey from her formative years in Ikire, Osun State, through her academic pursuit at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, to her impactful career in politics and sports administration reflects the values of diligence, integrity, and patriotism that NANS holds dear.
It said, “As students and youth leaders, we are particularly inspired by her legacy of service, her advocacy for women’s development, and her dedication to national unity.
“Her outstanding representation of Ayedaade/Irewole/Isokan Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, her leadership within the All Progressives Congress (APC), and her pioneering contributions to women’s football in Nigeria are hallmarks of a woman whose passion for Nigeria knows no bounds.”
NANS explained that Hon. Omidiran’s appointment comes at a time when the principles of fairness, inclusion, and national cohesion, which are core mandates of the Federal Character Commission, are more crucial than ever.
“We are confident that under her stewardship, the FCC will witness a renewed sense of purpose, transparency, and impact.
“NANS celebrates this appointment as a victory not just for Osun State or the South West, but for every Nigerian youth who sees in Hon. Omidiran a role model and a beacon of possibility.
“Her humility, excellence, and bridge-building spirit continue to resonate with the values we champion as a national student body.
“We pray for wisdom, strength, and divine guidance as she takes on this vital national responsibility.
“NANS stands ready to support and partner with the Commission under her leadership in advancing the cause of fairness and national unity,” the statement further reads.
