The National Association of University Students (NAUS) has dissolved the Edo State Campus Monitoring Committee (CMC), the arm of the student body in charge of managing the day-to-day affairs of university students in Edo.
This was contained in a statement signed by the National Vice President, South-South Zone of NAUS, Comrade Micheal Imoloame, and dated February 2, 2026.
He said the dissolution was following a comprehensive review of recent activities of the Association in the state.
According to him, “The CMC, which was led by Comrade Praise Ogana, was dissolved at the Pre-Convention and Enlarged Stakeholders’ Meeting held on Saturday, 31st January, 2026, in Benin City, in line with the provisions of Article 25, Section 28 (G), and Article 39, Section 42 of the NAUS Constitution.”
The Association stated that the dissolution was taken in the overall interest of NAUS and the sustainability of the movement.
“Following the dissolution, the Convention Planning Committee (CPC), under the leadership of Comrade Omigie Owen Sunny, has been directed to assume acting responsibility for the affairs of the CMC for a period of thirty days. Within this period, the CPC is to conduct a fresh, free, fair and credible election to usher in a new set of CMC leaders in Edo State.
“Members and stakeholders of the Association have been enjoined to accord the CPC due respect and render all necessary cooperation and support to enable it discharge its responsibility effectively,” the statement added.
The Association also called on all stakeholders, leaders, sister bodies, university managements, the Edo State Government and security agencies to take note of the development.
“In line with established procedures, the former CMC Chairman, Comrade Praise Ogana, has been given a seven day notice, effective from the date of the announcement, to return all NAUS properties in his possession, including handover notes, constitution, official stamps, documents and vehicle number plates. The Association warned that failure to comply would compel it to take all necessary steps to retrieve its properties,” it concluded.
The dissolved Comrade Praise Ogana-led NAUS Edo CMC was elected into office on November 2, 2025 for a period of one year.
