The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Southwest Zone D, calls for the temporary closure of tertiary institutions across Osun State ahead of the August 15 governorship election. The student group says the decision is driven by growing election-related security concerns and an unsettled political environment in the state. According to the group, NANS issues a seven-day ultimatum to the Osun State Government, relevant security agencies, and heads of tertiary institutions to engage with students over the situation. The call is framed as a measure intended to reduce risks to campus communities while preparations for the election continue. Both outlets report that NANS is asking institutions to shut temporarily rather than keep campuses open during the period leading up to the vote. The outlets do not report any immediate response from the Osun State Government or security agencies, nor do they specify particular incidents prompting the call beyond the overall security concerns described by NANS.
