President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Ghana-Chapter, Ilo Ikenna Valentine, believes newly elected president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has the credentials to become the greatest president in Nigerian history.

Valentine, who hails from Enugu State described the president as a smart politician who excelled as governor of Lagos State.

He also described him as a unifier who rallies people around him regardless of their tribe and background.

The NANS president made this disclosure in an exclusive interview with MyNigeria TV on the plight of Nigerian students in Ghana.

“Tinubu has done very well. He was a two-time governor of Lagos State and has done well in Nigerian politics, which is why they call him 'Jagaban'. He has brought a lot of people together both at home and abroad.

“He is also a smart politician; someone said he has been planning for this moment for more than 20 years by placing people in certain places.

“Personally, I think if he continues on the same trajectory by empowering people and being there for them no matter their background. He is going to be the best President Nigeria has ever seen if he continues like that. He was a good governor of Lagos State, he came to Lagos State and changed a lot of things.

In a different development, the president pointed out the issue of adaptation, resident permits, and accommodation as some of the pressing challenges faced by most Nigerian students in Ghana.
