In line with the provisions of the Federation of Ibadan Students’ Union (FIBSU) National Constitution, the FIBSU National Congress convened on Saturday, 5th April, 2025, at the Bode Amoo Hall, CCII Building, Oke-Aremo, Ibadan. The Congress focused on key decisions and appointments within the organisation.
A major highlight of the Congress was the nomination, screening, and official inauguration of the FIBSU National Electoral Committee and the FIBSU National Electoral Petition Committee for the current tenure.
Nomination letters were duly submitted by interested Chapter Presidents. Out of the twelve (12) chapters that submitted nominations, Prof. Seyi from Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) was disqualified on constitutional grounds. He is no longer an undergraduate student and presently holds the position of Deputy Chief Whip at FOSSU National, which directly contravenes the eligibility requirements set forth in the FIBSU National Constitution.
The remaining nominees from eligible chapters were screened in line with constitutional guidelines and were successfully cleared. Following this, the FIBSU National Electoral Committee and the FIBSU National Electoral Petition Committee were formally constituted and officially sworn in before the Congress.
Below are the names of the key members of the FIBSU National Electoral Committee Constituted and sworn in:
- Oyedeji Israel (LAUTECH) – Chairman
- Rasheed Gbolagade Olasunkanmi (The Polytechnic Ibadan) – General Secretary
- Amusan Afeez (Federal Polytechnic, Ede) – Member
- Hanas Oyekunle Moruf (Adeseun Ogundoyin Polytechnic, Eruwa) – Member
- Olasunkanmi Khadijah (University of Ilorin) – Member
- Kabiru Wahab Olansile (Oke Ogun Polytechnic, Saki) – Member
- Ojumo Faith (Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye) – Member
The remaining portfolios within the Committee will be assigned internally among the members based on competence and area of expertise.
This transparent and inclusive process reflects the Union’s unwavering commitment to upholding democratic principles and ensuring a credible electoral process. FIBSU remains dedicated to fairness, accountability, and active student participation.
