Babatunde Afeez

Comr. Akinteye Babatunde Afeez, fondly called Babtee, is a seasoned student leader, activist, and advocate who has dedicated the better part of his formative years to the service of Nigerian students.

Born and raised with a deep sense of justice and community, Babtee emerged as a student leader at a time when the Nigerian student movement needed bold, principled, and visionary leadership. His journey began at the grassroots — as JCC Chairman (Ekiti Axis) — where he coordinated all SUG Presidents within Ekiti State and led local protests for student welfare.

His rise through the ranks of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has been nothing short of remarkable. As Vice President of External Affairs, he served as the diplomatic bridge between NANS and critical federal institutions including the Federal Government, EFCC, and JAMB. As Senate President of NANS, he presided with dignity, fairness, and a commitment to due process.

From intervening in the JAMB Direct Entry crisis, to leading the campaign for the evacuation of Nigerian students from war-torn Sudan, to physically traveling to the EFCC Benin Zonal Office to secure the release of wrongly arrested FUTA students — Babtee has consistently shown that student leadership is a calling, not a career.

Today, he presents himself before the great body of Nigerian students as a candidate for the National Presidency of NANS, under the banner of the EPOCH Movement — a movement that believes this is not just another election, but a defining moment, a turning point in the history of Nigerian student unionism.

Personal Motto: "Service before self. Students above all."
