The National Association of University Students (NAUS) is set to hold its annual national convention for the year 2017.

In a statement jointly signed by the Convention Planning Committee Chairman, Comrade Danielson Bamidele Monday; and Secretary, Comrade Famuyibo Oluwasegun, the convention is billed to hold at the Federal University of Technology (FUTA), Akure, Ondo state between November 23 and 26.

The decision was reached following a meeting with NAUS leaders and stakeholders and the FUTA management on the transition process of the association.

The statement further revealed that the 11-man Local Organising Committee (LOC) has Comrade Arosoye Ayokunle as Chairman, and Comrade Olaseinde Olayinka (from FUTA) as Secretary.

The statement urged all aspirants who are yet to submit their intent form to do so, as proper screening of aspirants is to commence on November 15, while list of eligible candidates will be published before the date of election.

The convention earlier scheduled for October 19 and 22 was postponed following a clash in convention date with the sister association and apex body, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) (Zone B).
