The death of Miss Osunlakin Grace, a final-year student of the College of Law at Osun State University (UNIOSUN), Ifetedo Campus, has attracted reactions from the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Southwest Zone D.

In a statement, the student body expressed deep sadness over the incident and extended its condolences to the family of the deceased, her colleagues, the College of Law, and the wider university community.

However, NANS Southwest noted that concerns raised by student leaders regarding the handling of the medical emergency preceding the student’s death require urgent attention and careful examination.

According to the association, reports received from the College of Law Students’ Association alleged that the student was unable to access immediate medical attention at the campus clinic before being transported to another medical facility, where she reportedly passed away before arrival.

The student body emphasized that these allegations remain subject to verification and should be independently and thoroughly investigated to establish the true circumstances surrounding the incident.

NANS Southwest announced that it would engage relevant stakeholders, including students, faculty representatives, the Students’ Union, and university authorities, as part of efforts to ascertain the facts and ensure transparency in the matter.

The association further urged the management of Osun State University to undertake a comprehensive review of healthcare services, emergency response mechanisms, ambulance availability, and medical infrastructure across its campuses to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Student leaders described the unfortunate incident as a painful reminder of the critical importance of accessible, functional, and responsive healthcare services within tertiary institutions, stressing that student welfare must remain a priority for educational authorities.

NANS Southwest reiterated its commitment to advocating for accountability, improved student welfare, and stronger institutional support systems while closely monitoring developments relating to the case.
