The Vice Chancellor of NSUK enjoined the new leadership of the student body to embrace dialogue and carry everyone along and avoid confrontation in their dealings.

In a remark,the Dean student Affairs NSUK, Professor Yahaya Mohammed pointed out that the 21 members of the student representatives Council were selected based on Character, Faculty and Gender representation as well as the zeal to serve..
