The Federation of Idere Students’ Union (FIDSU) has commenced structural repair works on its secretariat as part of efforts to advance the long-standing building project to the roofing stage.
The ongoing work focuses on rehabilitation of the structure to strengthen the building and prepare it for roofing, marking a step towards the completion of the union’s secretariat.
According to a statement issued on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, by the union’s President, Comr. Joseph Ayodele Jonathan, the foundation of the secretariat was laid in 2006 during the administration of Comr. Akinlolu Monday.
The latest development comes 20 years after the foundation, raising hopes of completing the building project, which has remained incomplete for two decades.
The union appreciated the Oyo South senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Aderemi Oseni, for what it described as financial support towards the ongoing structural repairs and roofing of the building.
FIDSU described Oseni’s intervention as a major boost to the student community, noting that his support would contribute significantly to the realisation of the long-awaited project.
It said, “His (Oseni) support reflects a commitment to the advancement of the student community and the development of Ibarapa. FIDSU sincerely appreciates his generosity and continued contribution to the progress of the Union.”
The union appealed to well-meaning individuals, community leaders and other stakeholders to contribute towards the successful completion of the student union’s secretariat.
