The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Southwest Zone D, has announced plans for another round of discussions with the management of Osun State University (UNIOSUN) following the death of a final-year law student, Miss Osunlakin Grace.
The engagement, scheduled for June 29, forms part of the association’s ongoing efforts to obtain further clarity on the circumstances surrounding the incident and to follow up on concerns raised by students and stakeholders.
The meeting comes as the university continues its internal investigation into the matter and maintains the temporary closure of the Ifetedo Campus pending the outcome of ongoing administrative and investigative processes.
According to NANS, concerns relating to healthcare service delivery, emergency medical response systems, referral procedures, and student welfare provisions remain among the key issues under review.
The association stated that while it acknowledges and respects the university’s ongoing investigation, it will continue its independent engagement due to varying accounts of the events surrounding the student’s death from members of the university community.
NANS explained that the objective of its fact-finding efforts is to establish verified facts, identify any institutional shortcomings, and advocate practical reforms that could help prevent similar incidents in the future.
The student body emphasized that the welfare, safety, and wellbeing of students must remain a central priority for educational institutions and all relevant stakeholders.
While expressing sympathy to the family, friends, and colleagues of the deceased student, the association urged members of the university community to remain calm, peaceful, and cooperative as investigations and consultations continue.
NANS Southwest reiterated its commitment to transparency, accountability, and constructive engagement, expressing hope that the outcome of the ongoing processes will strengthen student welfare systems and emergency response mechanisms across the institution.
