Delegates representing Lagos, Ibadan and Ife universities and Adeyemi College of Education walked out of the 16th annual convention of the National Union of Nigerian Students in protest against a motion calling for the introduction of a quota system in all federal institutions.
However, delegates from 13 other institutions, including Ahmadu Bello, Nsukka and Benin voted in favour.
Attempts to get the delegates to return failed and the chairman, Mr Adedeboro, suddenly announced his resignation as national president as well as his life membership of NUNS. Mr Mustafa Bulami of Zaria was elected chairman for the remainder of the season.
