Who We Are
The Federation Of Iyin Ekiti Student Union, in plain words.
FIESU is the umbrella body for every Iyin Ekiti indigene in school — at home in Iyin and across the diaspora. We do welfare, advocacy, scholarships, community events, and the occasional very loud general assembly.
Our Story
Founded in 2014, still loud.
The Federation Of Iyin Ekiti Student Union (FIESU) was founded in 2014 to give every Iyin Ekiti student — whether schooling at home or far away in diaspora — one body that speaks for them. The first constitution was drafted by a small circle of indigenes scattered across four universities, meeting halfway in Iyin during a long vacation. Twelve years later, the federation still carries that same charge: academic excellence, unity and development, wherever our students are.
Iyin Ekiti indigenes in tertiary institutions across Nigeria and abroad. Roughly 8,400 active members and counting.
