The Federation of Oyo State Students’ Union (FOSSU) National Council, the foremost umbrella body representing Oyo State indigenes in tertiary institutions nationwide, has expressed deepest gratitude and high commendation to Rt. Hon. Adebo Edward Ogundoyin, the esteemed Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, for his unwavering, consistent, and exemplary support to the student constituency in Oyo State.
This was contained in a statement signed by Ahmed A. Mufutau, Fossu National President-elect which was made available to newsmen on Friday.
Ahmed stated that Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin has proven himself as a true friend of Oyo State students through his open-door policy, accessibility, and genuine responsiveness to our needs.
“He has repeatedly provided a listening ear to student demands and needs. His legislative leadership has strengthened collaboration between the Oyo State House of Assembly, the executive arm, and student bodies, creating an enabling environment for young voices to shape policies that impact our future.
“We are especially grateful for his decisive and proactive role in facilitating the peaceful resolution of the recent factional leadership crisis in the Federation of Ibarapa Students’ Association (FIBSA).
