The leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students, Southwest Zone D, has announced plans to visit the Osun State University on Monday over the death of a final-year student, Miss Grace Osunlakin, and broader concerns about student welfare and healthcare services.
The planned visit follows the death of Osunlakin, a 400-level Criminology and Security Studies student at the university’s Ifetedo Campus, which sparked protests and allegations of negligence by students.
In a statement on Saturday, the NANS South-West Zone D Coordinator, Adeyemo Josiah, said the student body had engaged the university management following the incident and received assurances from the Vice-Chancellor that an internal investigation had commenced.
According to him, the university subsequently announced the temporary closure of the Ifetedo Campus.
However, NANS said it had continued to receive “disturbing reports” from students regarding the implementation of the closure and the welfare of those affected.
