Students, under the aegis of Federation of Kwara South Students Union (FEKSSU), have hailed the Senator representing Kwara South senatorial district at the National Assembly, Rafiu Ibrahim, for active representation.

National President, FEKSSU, Ibrahim Oriola, also praised Ibrahim for assisting youths in his constituency.

He said: "We are pleased to express our satisfaction with the current level of representation we are getting at the upper chamber in the last two years.

"Based on this, we use this opportunity to urge the Senate President Bukola Saraki, who is also the political leader of the state, to give us Senator Ibrahim for one more term because he has achieved over 50 percent of his campaign promises with less than two years in office."

Oriola revealed that the union had "set machinery in motion to help the indigent students by giving out free JAMB scratch cards to over 100 students across the senatorial district.

"We are also planning to establish 10 chapters across four northern states. We shall remain focused on the primary aims and objectives of the union."

He said that FEKSSU recently concluded its Unity week with special church services, Christmas carol programme, a talk show and inter campus games. Others were visitation to traditional rulers, awareness rally, leadership and entreprenurship summit.
