NUSS NHQ CONDUCTS PHYSICAL SCREENING FOR MAKS POLYTECHNICS CHAPTER, RECORDS HISTORICAL SUCCESS.
Earlier last week, on Friday, 16th January 2026, the National Headquarters (NHQ) of the National Union of SAKI Students (NUSS) successfully conducted a physical screening exercise for the MAKS Polytechnic Chapter, marking a historic climacteric in the revival and repositioning of the Union within the institution.
Notably, for over one year, Union activities at the MAKS Polytechnic Chapter had remained broadly inactive. However, recognizing the chapter as one of the largest, most vibrant, and most widespread chapters in SAKI, the National body considered it imperative to intervene and restore efficacious unionism. This proactive step further addresses the long-standing challenge that institutions within SAKI lack structured and functional student unionism.
Through the collaborative efforts of staff advisers, student leaders, and key stakeholders within SAKI, a strategic meeting was convened prior to the screening exercise. This meeting culminated in a unanimous resolution that the NHQ would formally conduct a physical screening for the MAKS Polytechnic Chapter on the aforementioned date.
The screening exercise was conducted successfully, transparently, and peacefully by the NUSS NHQ, with the support of stakeholders in SAKI, past executives of the MAKS Polytechnic Chapter, and independent observers, while security operatives from the Nigeria Police Force were present to ensure law, order, and credibility throughout the process.
Following the conclusion of the screening, the Oath of Office was duly administered by the Senate President of the National Headquarters, immediately after the emergence of the newly elected executives. The process led to the emergence of:
Comr. Wahab Sulaiman (Kuranga) as President, and
Comr. Jamiu Ismail (Noble) as Senate President.
All stakeholders and observers expressed utmost satisfaction with the transparency, fairness, and credibility of the entire exercise.
In their collective remarks, stakeholders admonished the newly inaugurated executives to uphold the integrity and image of the Union, desist from all acts capable of impairing its reputation, and work together in the spirit of love, unity, and harmonious coexistence. They further accentuated the Union’s guiding principle:
“SAKI before politics and political crises on campus.”
The screening exercise was witnessed by the following prominent observers:
1. Comr. Ikuogbogun Abass– One-time President, MAKS TOPS Chapter
2. Comr. Alimi Muhammed– One-time Vice President, MAKS Polytechnic Chapter
3. Comr. Busari Ayuba– Immediate Past National President, NUSS NHQ
4. Comr. Musa Muhammed– Immediate Past ISSEC Chairman
5. Comr. Nasirudeen Abdulgafar– Directorate of Special Duties to the National President
6. Comr. Sharafdeen Fawas– National Treasurer, NUSS NHQ
7. Comr. Owolabi Abdullahi– Chief of Staff to the NHQ President
8. Comr. Ojo Yusuf O.
The Chief Judges of the Day were the National President COMR. Adebayo Qowiyu.T and the Senate President, Sen. Sh*ttu Samad, alongside accredited security personnel.
In conclusion, the Union extends profound appreciation to all stakeholders, observers, security operatives, and participants whose collective efforts ensured a peaceful and successful screening exercise. The event stands as another landmark achievement by the NUSS NHQ, reinforcing its obligation to strengthening student unionism and advancing student leadership across SAKI.
