Leadership training for Nigeria student leaders

 The 2025 Annual Leadership Training and Capacity Building Workshop seeks to unite Nigerian student leaders to address critical issues in public education, particularly the wave of fee hikes and the commercialization of education. This project provided a platform for student activists across the country to build alliances, share strategies, and coordinate actions under a unified front.

Two former student union leaders made presentations at the training, they are Comrade Ene obi and Comrade Adagbo on Neoliberal siege on public education and Student movement: The past, the present and the future respectively.  

Participants at the end of the presentations agreed that despite the challenges faced by student unions , student unions still remain active on campuses and continue to play roles in student welfare  and campus governance though their influence is limited  by autocratic university administrative . Calls for revitalization of the student movement emphasize the need for student unions to return to their core values of transparency, selflessness and advocacy for positive change. A united national student union will restore respect and effectiveness in negotiating student interests especially on critical issues like university fees hikes.
