NANS Demands Answers on Nursing Student's Death at Aro

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Ogun State Joint Campus Committee, has threatened mass protests at the Federal Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital in Abeokuta if the management fails to provide an explanation within 24 hours regarding the death of Taiwo Godwin, a Post-Basic Nursing student. The association, led by Chairman Comrade Faruq Olabode, expressed concerns about the hospital's medical facilities, emergency response capacity, and the quality of care provided to Godwin before his death.

NANS demanded an independent investigation into the incident, calling for the Nigerian Medical Association, security agencies, and relevant medical regulatory authorities to ensure accountability. They also requested an independent autopsy review to determine the cause of death and assess any negligence in medical care.

NANS appealed to Dr. Iziaq Adekunle Salako, the Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, for urgent intervention. The association warned that failure to provide a satisfactory explanation could lead to a mass protest involving students across Ogun State.
